premier ballet competition
Universal Ballet Competition (UBC) is a premier student ballet competition, which has expanded across US due to its growing popularity among dancers, studio directors, and the ballet community.
Who we are
Founding members, Lissette Salgado and David Lucas, former principal dancers of the Joffrey Ballet and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, have illustrious careers. Their combined list of professional contacts allows them the privilege to recruit globally renowned dancers, company directors, and ballet school directors to judge, mentor, and teach the master classes during each UBC competition.
Since its first season, UBC has hosted and mentored countless dancers and awarded millions of dollars in scholarships.
UBCs mission with each class and competition is ultimately the growth of each dancer as an individual. UBC is more than a competition, it is a chance for dancers to reach their goals, and we look forward to having you be part of it.
