Program Overview

Attending a 2026 USTD Regional this season? If so, be sure to have your dancers apply to become one of our “USTD Young Ambassadors”!

The USTD Young Ambassador Program celebrates dancers who embody the spirit, leadership, kindness, and community focus that define the United States Tournament of Dance.
Unlike traditional awards focused on technical ability, this program recognizes character over competition, spotlighting dancers who uplift others, lead with integrity, and represent the USTD community with pride both on and off the stage.

We will select dancers that will be competing with their studio in a 2026 regional event for this amazing opportunity.  There will be a minimum of two dancers (one Junior and one Senior age division dancer) chosen from each regional event.
