Rising Stars
Ages 8yrs and up
Rising Stars
The "Rising Stars" program is a formal introduction to dance fundamentals for ages eight years and up or for those who have completed the "First Steps" preparatory curriculum. It features structured, step-by instruction in a supportive environment, with full classes dedicated to specific dance styles rather than combination classes. We offer Rising Stars Classes for Ballet, Clogging, Jazz, Lyrical, Tap & Hip Hop. All Rising Stars Classes are one hour in length. Classes may be taken individually or combined for a well-rounded dance education.
​
Once dancers have completed the Rising Stars curriculum they are ready to enter the Masters Programs.

DRESS CODE
Class uniforms create a sense of unity and professionalism while helping students feel confident and focused. By removing distractions around clothing choices, uniforms allow dancers to concentrate on technique, alignment, and learning.

Overall, class uniforms promote consistency, discipline, and a strong team identity within the studio.

Recitals & Performances
Building Confidence Through Performance
We offer multiple performance opportunities throughout the year, giving our dancers consistent stage experience that helps build confidence, poise, and a love for performing. Regular performances allow dancers to apply what they learn in class while becoming comfortable on stage in a fun and supportive environment.
To participate in performances, dancers are required to purchase a designated costume and hair piece, and must have the correct tights and dance shoes to ensure a polished and uniform presentation.
