From the reviews
Love Starr studios! We've already done the winter recital, which was Grinch themed, and it was a blast! Every time we come to class, our daughter lights up with glee. She loves her instructors, and they are constantly doing new activities and dances. We can't recommend Starr studios enough.
We’ve had such a great experience with this dance studio! Our daughter started just before she turned 2.5, and since we had no prior dance studio experience, we didn’t know what to expect. The teachers are amazing with the kids—so patient, kind, and engaging—and our daughter absolutely loves going to dance every week.
I’ve been dancing at Starr since 2019 and I absolutely love it there! All the staff are so kind and have amazing talent to share with kids of all ages. Starr is my second home and I’m always happy to be there to learn new skills , dances , and prepare for our recitals! Overall 100/10 :)
We love Starr Studios! Everyone is so kind and is amazing with the kids. They want every child to succeed and they work hard to make sure that happens. An incredible school with incredible teachers. Couldn’t have chosen a better dance school.
Your first ballet class at Starr Studios Salem School of 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.
