Julianna Sheline
Amazing experience for my daughter. Ms. Kathy is beyond great with the kids and my daughter has such a great time every single class. Beautiful studio, great environment, really reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this studio!

My daughter has been taking ballet since 4 years old and just recently started at Starlight this year. She has progressed so much in just a couple months here i am so pleased with this studio.!
Jennifer Pace Snoderly
We have been going to Starlight since my daughter was in preschool. The staff is great, studios are all well maintained, and most importantly my daughter loves going (she is now in 4th grade). She has made some wonderful friendships in addition to learning great dance skills.
Savanna Aiello
We love Starlight!! Will recommend this dance studio to everyone! 🌟
TerriAnne Barker
My daughter has been dancing at Starlight for 7+ years! We love the friendly, safe atmosphere and knowledgeable teachers who make learning fun. Always encouraging, never intimidating. Dance is my daughter’s favorite extracurricular activity because of her experiences at Starlight.
Lindsay Leigh
We just started our third class at Starlight. My daughter loves coming to class! She asks me almost everyday if it’s dance class day. Ms. Kathy is so patient and kind with 2-3 year olds who aren’t the best listeners at times. The facility is very clean and I highly recommend it.
Kelly Lewetag
We love Starlight! Such a wonderful and friendly atmosphere. The teachers are wonderful and encouraging. My daughter has danced here for 6 years and I could not recommend it more.

Jaime Lynn
My daughter Ava is new to ballet and tap and she LOVES it thanks to Ms Kathy! I cant say enough about the staff they are so friendly and helpful!
Bethany Gaeto
My daughter has taken several classes here since she was 2. She is 6 now and in tumbling. The variety of classes is great, teachers are all really sweet/patient, especially with the really little ones! The recitals are always fun to watch from the tiniest dancers to the talented older dancers! (They break them up into multiple sessions so you aren’t there for hourssss!)
Carolyn Mooney Bigbee
My daughter danced there for many years and now her 5 year old niece (my granddaughter) is in her 3rd year. Lessons are age appropriate and fun. The discipline and life lessons that become a part of the experience are great as well.
Colleen Bressler
Starlight is exactly what I was hoping for in a dance school for our daughter. It is not too intense, but there is an option to compete when they're older if your child is interested. I feel that staff is highly qualified and she is learning proper dance technique, but they also mix in a lot of fun.
Erin Steinberg
My daughters love dancing at Starlight! The teachers are wonderful and my girls love all of the new friends they have made.
Holly Ristau Polochak
Starlight Dance Academy make you feel like family. They care about their dancers and provide a great environment to learn and dance. All of the teachers have been fabulous!
