About our Host School - The University of the Arts (UARTS)

Welcome to our Creative Community
At UArts, creativity in all its forms overlaps and converges-like colors combining to form more vibrant hues. Musicians mingle with media makers. Photographers work with dancers. Writers collaborate with performers.
For over 130 years we have defined creativity. The University of the Arts in Philadelphia is the first and only university in the United States solely dedicated to educating creative individuals in the visual, performing and communication arts.

The School of Dance

The School of Dance is a supportive and friendly home for all those who love to study, perform, create, and watch dance. We provide a dynamic and challenging program that produces graduates who have acquired the self-discipline, motivation and technical skills to merit employment by the best dance companies. Our graduates are prepared to choreograph their own high quality works, and form their own dance companies and schools. The training is also directed toward developing leadership, creativity and rigorous academic scholarship. The University of the Arts School of Dance intends to be the country's preeminent institution for the celebration, encouragement and support of dance in all its forms.

We are delighted to welcome the National High School Dance Festival participants to our campus.
