Gold Star Academy of Dance offers professional dance instruction for ages 2 to adult. We limit our class sizes in order to provide more personal training to our students. We offer beginning through pre-professional levels in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, lyrical, pointe and tumbling. Additional classes offered are cheerleading and poms. This gives students a wide variety of classes to chose from. Our classes are ability- and age-appropriate so all our students can receive the best dance education. Our school year spring performance program runs August through June. We do offer non-spring performance classes beginning in the second quarter (end of October) each year. This is for our students that do not wish to participate in our annual spring performance. It is also for families that just moved into the area and missed the date for the spring performance sign up.
