Starshine Studios
About Us
Studio Vision Statement:
Starshine Studios, established June 2012, is a boutique dance and tumbling studio that allows students of all ages and abilities to experience and enjoy the many benefits of performance arts.
The desire is to create a program that offers exceptional technical training for all students in an environment that is encouraging, positive, and unpretentious. Performance Arts should be a part of every persons' life, but it is not always the only part of life, for many students. The approach is refreshing and different for our Starshine families

-
Like all great tumblers, we encourage FLEXIBILITY in our bodies, minds, and instruction approach!

Like all great artists, we develop BEAUTY through movement, attitude, and self expression!
