✨ Please join us in welcoming Santa Cruz Dance Theater of Santa Cruz, California, to RDA/Pacific!

Founded in 2024 by Conrad Useldinger, Santa Cruz Dance Theater is dedicated to preserving the legacy of classical ballet while creating bold new works that inspire dancers, audiences, and the next generation of artists.

Conrad wanted to join RDA because he believes it’s vital to be connected to a larger community dedicated to concert dance. He looks forward to collaborating with fellow directors, teachers, and choreographers while giving his students the opportunity to experience dance as an art form through shared learning, meaningful collaboration, and artistic excellence.

The company is excited to build new connections, create lasting memories, and give today’s dancers the same sense of community and inspiration that has been a hallmark of RDA for generations!

We’re thrilled to officially welcome Santa Cruz Dance Theater to the RDA/Pacific community and can’t wait to see all they’ll bring to our organization. Welcome! 💙
