WelcomeWelcome to the website of Starship Dance Studio with Joyce DiLauro. Starship Dance Studio has been serving the Connecticut Shorline Community for over 20 years. Our student population is diverse; ranging from two years of age through adult, new to dance in entry level classes to those preparing for a professional career in higher level classes, continuing a life long interest in dance to trying something new as an adult. We have many alumnis who have gone on to train at schools in Boston and New York, pursuing and suceeding at professional careers in Dance. Philosophy Our goal is to provide our students with a firm foundation and a clear understanding of their art form. We strive to provide superior technical dance training in an atmosphere that fosters creativity, motivation, and a positive self-image. Our ballet teaching follows the Vagonova system from Russia, which trains a child to develop good body placement and strong muscles with a progression of skills.
Our students benefit from the confidence that comes from learning something new and becoming comfortable with their abilities. Young students who continue in dance can expect to build self-esteem, self-disipline and an ability to stand up to the pressures of school with more poise and confidence. Adult students can rediscover the joy of learning new skills or sharpening existing ones in a caring and open environment.
Class Offerings We offer a range of classes for dancers aged two years of age to Adult. Our offerings include various levels of Ballet, Modern, and Jazz, both child and adult classes. For the pre-school aged child, we offer Creative Dance and Parent and Child Classes. Throughout the year various Workshop opportunities are offered including Belly Dance or instruction with visiting professional dancers / choreographers.
Classes run throughout the school year (September till the end of May) for children pre-K through 12th grade, half session classes for those pre-school aged, ten week long adult sessions (September to May), half day workshops (at various times), and one to three week programs through the summer months.
