From the reviews

We have been so impressed with how organized Shining Fame Staff is. We have a daughter who competes on a competitive team and a daughter who does studio dance classes. We enjoy that there are a variety of classes to choose from. We are constantly informed of updates and given reminders to help keep us on track.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Feb 2021

My daughter is loving dance with Shining Fame! When Covid hit Robyn did her best to stay connected to the girls and do some zooms and once they could get clearance to be back in the studio she had them there with new safety measures in place.

★★★★★ — Faith, Feb 2021

Love Shining Fame Performance! We found this studio when moving to town roughly 3 years ago. My daughter enjoyed dancing, but lacked the skills to develop into a strong dancer. SFP staff has helped her grow in confidence and skill over the past years.

★★★★★ — Christy, Feb 2021

My daughter has danced with Shining Fame for 2 years now. We are so pleased with their focus on skills and high expectations. If you're going to study dance, you should be learning to do it right. Robin and her staff do an excellent job AND my daughter loves every minute of it!

Your first ballet class at Aspire Dance Studio

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
