Classes

Starstruck Dance Academy offers all types of dance instruction throughout the year including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acro, Lyrical, and Pointe, offered in 5 different levels.

Combo I  Ages 2-3  
This is a fun introductory class that will introduce students to dance. Creative movement and activities help introduce the beginning fundamentals of ballet and tap. Students also play games which enhance cognitive & social development and learn classroom etiquette

Combo II  Ages 3-4
This class is for dancers between the ages of 3 and 5 years old. It introduces the dancers to the basics of ballet, tap, and jazz technique and vocabulary in a structured class environment. The students will develop rhythm, coordination, and movement all while building their confidence and self-esteem.

Ballet
The ballet program teaches dancers strong technique through traditional ballet. The students will learn proper placement, turnout, technique and vocabulary in a disciplined environment. This will develop strong work ethics and discipline in a positive atmosphere, which will build self-esteem. Ballet is the basis for all other forms of dance and we recommend ballet to every dancer. Pointe classes are by teacher approval.

Jazz/Hip Hop 
The jazz program focuses on building strong technique, strength, and flexibility. The classes incorporate stretching, across the floor combinations, and jazz routines. The dancers will learn different turns, jumps, leaps, and extensions while incorporating them into many different styles of jazz.

Tap
The tap program concentrates on both rhythmic and classical tap methods. Students will learn vocabulary, rhythmic timing, improvisation and tap choreography.

Lyrical
Lyrical classes are taught using ballet, jazz, and modern technique. This style of dance is very interpretive to the music and allows students the ability to express more emotion through dance.

Jumps & Turns
This class is designed to train dancers in turns and jumps. Dancers will do many exercises to build core strength and technique to build strength and power for jumps and leaps. The classes incorporate jumps and turns in the center, across the floor, and in combinations.

NEW! Adult Class

SDA welcomes adults of all ages and skill level to enjoy the benefits of dance.  Whether you are a professional dancer or someone wanting to study dance for the first time, SDA has the class for you on Thursdays nights!

WAIT!...I know what you are thinking...

• "I'm to old to start" - Age is not an issue
• "I'm to clumsy" - Dance will help sort that out
• "I'm not in shape to dance" - Class is a fun way to get fit
• "I"ve got 2 left feet" - Unlikely!
• "I've got no sense of rhythm" - You have a heartbeak...so you have rhythm!!!!

So forget all those negative thoughts!  Do not let anything stop you!  There is a big empahsis on fun at the classes - the more relaxed you are, the easier it is to learn.  You will be surprised at what you can do.  It is a case of one-step at a time and you will not be the only new person in class!
