From the reviews
Starz Dance Academy has been like a home away from home for my children. Between the preschool, gymnastics gym, and Starz Dance Studio with my multiple children, I have spent enough time here to recognize both the care and passion the staff here possess for their craft.
I’ve sent my children here for dance, and they also attended the gymnastics and preschool here. Every interaction I’ve had with staff has always been pleasant, but especially in the dance studio. I grew up doing competitive dance and am pleased with the instructors skill and the way they manage their classes.
12 years of our lives were spent at Gymnastics in Motion, Starz Dance Academy, and LNL preschool. We moved 2 years ago, and this part of our life in Indiana is what we all miss the most. The love and confidence-building our kids experienced behind those walls is hard to find any where else.
Starz is a loving community with amazing teachers and staff that will put these kids first. All businesses will have up and downs but they try to put an amazing experience for the kids first. Since I started dancing there they have opened so many opportunities for us in dance and in meeting so many amazing people.
Your first ballet class at Starz 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.
