The UMLY Junior and Senior Dance Companies are competitive dance teams that perform at festivals and competitions across the Greater Philadelphia region. Each event provides an opportunity for our dancers to showcase their talents while learning about the performance and competition process.

One of our favorite events of the year is the Philadelphia Youth Dance Festival, held at the Mandell Theater at Drexel University in Philadelphia. This festival is a pre-professional event that features more than 400 dancers from across Pennsylvania and the nation. Dancers participate in a series of master classes and then perform during the festival.
