Shooting Stars School of Dance
NOW ENROLLING!

Classes are offered for toddlers through adult, for beginners through advanced, and in a variety of different genres: ballet, lyrical, tap, hip-hop, musical theater, jazz, acro/cheer and more!
The focus of this program is to build confidence, establish good dance technique, and maintain a healthy lifestyle through physical movement. Our staff are qualified to teach a variety of abilities and ages and have years of experience. We offer quality dance training for beginner to advanced students in a fun and safe environment. YMCA members and non-members are all invited to attend.
