Learning to Move with Grace

You step onto the stage. The lights hide the faces of the crowd, and you feel a thrill of anticipation as you wait for the first notes of music to play. Then it begins, and you and your fellow dancers are moving, gliding across the stage in a beautiful, choreographed dance that sweeps away any anxiety, fear, or doubt. This is the joy of dance.

At Denver Dance Starz, we teach our students discipline, teamwork, and technique through fun, challenging dance classes. From the snappy tunes of our jazz classes to the more formal grace of our ballet classes, our dance studio is equipped to accommodate dancers of all types.

PREPOINTE: Prepointe is a 30 minute class that prepares dancers for Pointe class. Dancers will work on ankle strength, flexibility, core strength and calf strength. Participation in Prepointe does NOT guarantee a dancer will be ready for pointe. Dancer's will be evaluated periodically for readiness for pointe. This is a non-performance class.

Dancers must have a minimum of 5 years ballet experience, including 2 years of prepointe training. They must also be evaluated by the lead ballet instructor and approved for participating in pointe. ALL pointe dancers MUST also be in a minimum of 2 hours of ballet classes , in addition to their pointe class, each week. Pointe is not a substitution for ballet. Dancers will perform 1 routine in the annual Winter Show and will perform 1 routine in the annual Ballet Production at the annual summer recital. 


TECHNIQUE: Technique classes are classes specifically designed to work on a dancer’s technique in a specific discipline. Dancers will NOT learn a routine and will NOT perform in either the Winter show or the Recital. We currently offer technique classes in the disciplines of tap, jazz, ballet and hip hop. Dancers MUST have a minimum of 2 years of dance experience in a specific discipline to take a technique class, and should ALSO be enrolled in a performance class of the same discipline. Dancers will also need placement permission from the teacher.
