The SDD Starz program is a two-season program that consists of individual subject classes that encourage creativity and individuality while focusing on a strong foundation in dance!  Dancers build on the basics from our young children's programs with further skill and technique development in single subject classes.  Our classes emphasize the development of rhythm, movement, motor skills and coordination in a fun, inspiring class setting.  Dance at this age encourages self-expression, confidence, skill development and creativity. 

Starz classes are single subject 45-minute classes.  We offer classes in the core subjects of dance ballet, jazz, tap.  Dancers at this age can also begin training in acrobatics and hip hop.  Flexible scheduling allows you to select a class for your child's interest that works with your busy family schedule.  Many classes are also offered back-to-back, so dancers can participate in two classes with only one trip to the studio a week.  Dancers can register to train in one subject or several for a well-rounded weekly schedule. 

Each Starz class will perform a dance in one of our Spring Recitals held in early June at the Palace Theatre in Lockport. 

** For best training and progression, dancers should enroll in Starz level classes for two seasons.  Starz is designed for dancers ages 7 and 8 as the next step for dancers coming out of our Superstar Split program.
