★★★★★ — S, Aug 2017

My girls have been dancing here for 13 years and they have thrived in both dance as well many social experiences such as competing around the state and dancing at fairs, sporting venues, entertaining patients and volunteering in community events. They've always enhanced the whole child!

★★★★★ — Shalise, Jun 2018

My daughter has been dancing with Star 2 going into her 5th season and takes jazz ballet and tap. The opportunities for performances are great. She's done halftime at the Pistons! There are also lots of extra activities for the kids to participate in. Overall a great school

★★★★★ — Sabrina, Aug 2019

One of the best dance studios! The instructors encourage kindness, individuality, positivity, and hard work. They keep the students busy with fun activities as well as different opportunities to show their talents. STAR II is a great place to dance!

Your first ballet class at STAR II Center for Dance

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.
