Performance is an essential component of exceptional training for all forms of dance. We are preparing art-
ists, providing the tools to enable them to perfect their art. This includes:
the ability to grow in artistic expression
increasing respect for the dancer’s body by preparing and presenting, thereby developing a higher level of
self-esteem
developing presentation skills, which prepares the dancer for the stage
developing a sense of respect for themselves and other dancers
learning how to handle nervousness while performing
And, finally, it is the desired goal that each dancer experience the exhilaration of realizing his/her accomplishments
The performance team consists of dancers, faculty, staff, and most importantly parents. At StarStruck, we
view the performance team as a team effort to enhance the dancer’s experience. Ultimately, the goal is an
