About Us
Utopia is an all-star pom and dance team comprised of girls from the St. Louis area.
Members are chosen through a try-out process to practice and perform with the
squad for one competition season. In this, our 13th season, Utopia has 29 girls
ranging in age from 9 - 21 years old.
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.
Thirteen years later, Utopia is stronger than ever. The squad now 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. Utopia also holds an annual
dance camp for girls ages 5 - 16. To view a complete listing of all Utopia girls, past

Utopia girls are AMAZING individuals and often participate in activities outside of the
group. Many of the girls are cheerleaders or also dance for their high school squads.
Our college ladies make us extremely proud... both academically and artistically. We
love seeing Katie in black and gold - our very own Mizzou Golden Girl.
Since its inception, Utopia has been coached and choreographed by Tiffany Wedel.
Utopia's Juvenile squad has been coached by Rachel Burnham, Katie Hennrich, and
is currently coached by Jaime Kempter. Click below to learn more about Utopia's
accomplishments during more than a decade of excellence in dance.
