From the reviews
We have had a truly wonderful experience at Starlight! The entire staff is incredibly patient and dedicated, always working to build confidence in the children. It’s inspiring to see how the older students step in to support and encourage the younger ones, creating such a welcoming and uplifting environment.
We love Starlight Dance Academy! Ms. Kathy and her team of teachers create a fun and encouraging experience for their students. The environment is warm and welcoming for both students and families! Dancers have the option to participate in recitals, competitions and special performances (Penguins games, Disney, etc.
My daughter has taken several classes here since she was 2. She is 6 now and in tumbling. The variety of classes is great, teachers are all really sweet/patient, especially with the really little ones! The recitals are always fun to watch from the tiniest dancers to the talented older dancers!
Starlight is exactly what I was hoping for in a dance school for our daughter. It is not too intense, but there is an option to compete when they're older if your child is interested. I feel that staff is highly qualified and she is learning proper dance technique, but they also mix in a lot of fun.
Your first ballet class at Starlight 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.
