From the reviews
I was skeptical to start my daughter in dance lessons at 4 years old, but she expressed a love for dance so we gave Starpath a try. Their teachers really understand and know how to work well with children.
This dance studio is outstanding! Our daughter has enjoyed 3 years, and we are looking forward to many more. The teachers are kind and make learning dance fun and exciting. They also build a caring community during the year together among the kids, which is an invaluable aspect to their professional practice.
My daughter has been going to Starpath for 5 years now and we only have great things to say. The teachers are all so sweet and kind and just incredible with children. My daughter looks forward to her dance class every week and has learned ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop.
My daughter has been a Starpath dancer for 5 years now. She loves learning dance techniques from the awesome teachers and having fun with her friends. She also enjoys the sessions for well-being and self-care.
Your first ballet class at Starpath 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.
