History
Established in 2001.
Since its inception in the fall of 2001 in Brooke Maxwell's basement, UDA has experienced a remarkable journey of growth and success. What began as a small-scale endeavor has blossomed into one of the largest and most esteemed studios in the Salt Lake Valley. In 2022, the studio underwent a change in ownership when it was acquired by Tammisty Katz. Under her leadership, the studio has continued to flourish, building upon the solid foundation laid by its previous owner. With Tammisty's unwavering dedication, innovative approach, and strong vision, the studio has attracted an even larger community of dancers and enthusiasts. Through the introduction of new programs and the recruitment of exceptional instructors, the studio has thrived and continued to build their reputation for excellence. Today, it stands as a beacon of inspiration, offering a nurturing environment where dancers of all ages and skill levels can cultivate their passion, push boundaries, and achieve their dreams.
