It’s almost time to register for Season 15 at Star!  

The 2019-2020 season is just around the corner.  We’ve got some great programs planned this year, but don’t worry - your favourites are coming back as well!  A number of years ago, I was mentioning to one of my students in the dance program that she try vocal lessons at the studio, if she were interested.  Her reply; “YOU DO MUSIC HERE?” Now granted, this was in our old location and we only had one music studio on the second floor. Our music program has really grown since back then, but her Star Team jacket did say ‘Dance, Music and Acting’!  We had a good laugh, and I realized; wow - this place has so much going on, people might not know all we have to offer, So; I’m going to give you the short version of our programs here, and you can contact the office for the long version!

Recreational Dance: Our largest program by far, if you want to dance one hour a week, 3 or 10, we have enough classes to keep you busy here, in Acro, Ballet, Flamenco, Hip Hop, Jazz, Irish, Lyrical, Tap and more!  Check out our class bundles which are bundled by interest, and new this year; “Boys Nite Out” on Wednesdays!

Young Children’s Dance: Dance Power Stars!  An awesome sample of our most popular classes in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop and Acro - kids try it all in one hour, while we help our young ones to discover their own super powers in dance and in life!

Emerald Star Irish Dancers:  A celtic performance troupe of kids and teens, headed by the fabulous Miss Myra!

The Star Team:  For kids who love the stage, with pre-professional, ensemble and street divisions to suit.  These dancers are committed to the program and to each other, learning valuable life skills as they work toward personal and team goals.  Admission is by audition, where faculty will place you in the program best suited to your athleticism, skill level and artistry.

Music FunTime:  A prep course for young musicians with classes starting at 18 months!  Play-based learning of music notation, instruments and more. These kids bounce to the beat and love music; and then they learn how to make it!

Private Music Lessons:  Voice, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Drums, Keyboard and Piano.  Studies show learning to make music helps the brain grow and develop in many ways, and can even help improve skills in mathematics, communication, and self-expression.

Acting:  For both the outgoing and the shy child, these fun and creative classes help students develop communication skills, creativity, and confidence while encouraging teamwork and strong group dynamics.

Star Glee:  A recreational, no-audition-required Glee experience.  Kids who love singing and bopping around to pop music will love this class.

Pop Stars:  By audition, advanced musicians can take their training to performance and recording artist level with expert instruction on their music and “the biz.”  

But with so many options, how do you choose?  I can offer 3 suggestions:

1. Ask your child.  What are their interests?  They can be class specific like, “I wanna try hip hop.  It looks cool.” Or it could be more like, “Is there something not too loud where I can have fun making stories?”  For these, chat with our staff. We would be happy to point you toward a direction that suits the needs of your child.
2. Observe your child.  Do they love the beat of the music?  Do they love being loud? Do they love being quiet?  Often certain personalities gravitate toward certain classes or teachers.  Our staff can help you out with that as well.
3. Ask their teacher.  If your child is currently enrolled, chat with their teacher in between classes, during a nutrition break, or pass an email through the office.  We would be happy to discuss needs, wants and goals! Teachers will also make recommendations on their Spring Reports.

The short answer:  Send an inquiry to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or stop by the desk.  We can point you in the right direction and are always here to help!  My wish is that you are able to take advantage of our programs to enrich your family life.  I didn’t talk about Summer Camps, Birthday Parties, Adult Classes, Workshops either, but you can ask us about those too. :)
