Many of the children coming to Starquest started dancing and performing when they were small, some were even babies when they started out with us.
Classes step up a level at this stage and we also introduce the latest street and commercial styles as well as show and production classes for that extra polish and flair. These classes are extremely popular add-ons to the popular ballet, tap and jazz.
As they get older then they really start to value this time and space to develop and hone their skills and passions and some start to consider a future career path in the performing arts industry.
We have helped many progress to a performing arts college or university and are thrilled to see them flourish and become professionals in their own right, even going on to perform or teach.
Some children discover a passion for performing at a later age and that’s great as we welcome all abilities and ages and it’s a joy to see them develop and gain confidence as they become part of the Starquest family.
