"Starlet Academy"
The "Starlet Academy" is designed to inspire, educate, and stimulate the creativity of the young, first-time, or recreational dancer. These classes are offered in combination format of Tap, Jazz and Ballet. They are geared to promote camaraderie among dancers and instructors, nurturance in the teaching-learning process, and time to smile and enjoy the class. We also use a variety of music, making sure that they are always enjoyable and age-appropriate.
Ages 10-12 Rising Stars (4-6 grade) : Shining Stars classes are a combination of tap and jazz. The Starlet Academy is a great introduction to dance fundamentals, allowing for education and preparation for future dance progress. The classes focus on building technique in a stress free atmosphere while singing and dancing to training aids that are helping to build muscle memory, instilling vocabulary, and building self-esteem. Most students are assigned to class according to their grade level in school, but it is not uncommon for a more advanced dancer to move ahead to the next class level. *This class is almost full so sign up for your free trial class today!
