From the reviews
My daughter joined Ms Deborah’s dance studio when she opened and it was the best decision we made! She had previously taken dance classes at another local studio.
We've been with Rising Star since it opened. All my kids have worked with Deborah previously though Crane Acting Troupe, but only my youngest and my only boy, was able to take advantage of her new studio. He loved every minute!
This will be my daughter’s 4th season at Rising Star Dance Academy. My daughter absolutely adores Miss Deborah. Deborah is a talented professional, and cares so much about her students. I’m truly grateful my daughter has such an exceptional role model to look up too.
My daughter joined this studio when it opened as a 4-year old. Mrs. Deborah’s was amazing to watch as she happily sang and played with the children and taught them at the same time.
Your first ballet class at Rising Star Dance Academy
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.
