Star Studio Dance Company opened its doors in September 2019 with a vision of fostering the love of dance among children. SSDC is a home for all students, from the serious dancer who competes, to students who wish to dance purely for the enjoyment and recreation.
At Star Studio Dance Company, we welcome all students, and feel that each dancer can find the proper fit for them within our studio. Our various programs allow each student to find the commitment level that is right for them, while still learning and growing as a dancer. SSDC prides itself on having a qualified faculty that provides excellent training, while creating a family atmosphere.
No matter what level or age, we believe in making dance an enjoyable, and fun experience to build self confidence in a positive environment.
