From the reviews
We had such a wonderful experience with Starz Dance Academy this year! The entire team does an amazing job, and I especially want to thank Ms. Kristina for her dedication, kindness, and the joy she brings to every class.
I just wanted to say thank you to Starz for being so accommodating and allowing my 8 year old daughter to try several of their classes over summer and now fall. Lauren and her team have been very supportive and helpful while my daughter is trying to figure out whether to stay with dance or gymnastics.
I can say this is by far the best Academy for my kids. Talk about the atmosphere once you walk in.......it is filled with joy, excitements and a lot of happy faces. Both staff and parents are friendly and warm.
I absolutely love Starz Performing Arts Academy! The instructors are not only talented but also incredibly supportive and encouraging. The atmosphere is always positive, professional, and welcoming. I’ve seen so much growth, confidence, and joy come from being part of this studio.
Your first ballet class at Starz Performing Arts 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.
