About Us...
has 27 girls ranging in age from 9 - 22 years old. Our commitment to provide a
positive atmosphere where each dancer is challenged to achieve her personal best,
both on and off the competition floor, is built on a strong foundation of family, friends,
and the desire to give back to the community. It is our goal to develop, through the
sport of all-star dance, well rounded individuals who display high levels of self-esteem
and self-confidence, respect for self and others, self-discipline, and sportsmanship.
The first competing unit for Utopia began practicing in June of 1995. In November of
that year, Utopia went to Kansas City, MO to compete in its first state competition.
Utopia won the state title that year and has won state titles in both pom and dance
every year since. In July of 1997, Utopia traveled to the University of Notre Dame for
the first opportunity to compete at the national and world level. First attempts again
proved successful, for the girls captured both the Grand National and World Pom
Team and Grand National and World Dance Team titles.
Utopia currently competes at the juvenile, junior, senior, and college levels. Utopia
girls have had the privilege to meet and compete against teams from France, Poland,
Japan, Canada, and the many from across the United States. The girls have made
local appearances and have performed at charitable events in the St. Louis area.
During the school year, Utopia girls instruct aspiring dance team members through a
weekly UDT Prep Class. In the summer, Utopia hosts an annual dance camp for girls
ages 5 - 16. To view a complete list of all Utopia girls, past and present, click the

Utopia girls are AMAZING individuals and often participate in activities outside of the
group. The girls excel in the classroom, contribute to various teams/clubs outside of
dance, and serve as role models within the community. Many of the girls are also
cheerleaders or dance for their high school squads. Our college ladies make us
extremely proud, and we look forward to them rejoining us during the summer months.
Utopia Alumni have been or are current members of the University of Missouri
Golden Girls, UMSL Flames, Southeast Sundancers, and the Missouri State Diamond
Girls.
Since its inception, Utopia has been coached and choreographed by Tiffany Wedel.
Utopia's Juvenile squad has been coached by Rachel Burnham, Katie Hennrich,
Jaime Kempter, and is currently coached by Andrea Cassani and Becky Henley.
