We are Proud to be a part of the Stars National Dance Program.
Participants perform at many community functions as well as national half-time shows, and state & national dance competitions.
The program provides a constructive, creative way to "relate" to the younger generation while at the same time giving them concrete goals which will develop important life skills. The contemporary moves, the popular music,
the dynamic classes, and the applause-filled performances crate a challenging experience that kids really enjoy, so it isn't hard to see how self-esteem develops in this positive environment.
The program goals are founded on caring about how kids "feel about themselves. " If a child believes in (him/her)self, then the goals they will accomplish reach far beyond what they thought they could do.
This process of "believing in themselves" creates a STRONG self-image.
The dance team experience is a wonderful mystery. Being a Star is something that happens on the inside. The movements, the music, and the muscle are merely the visual representation of the magic inside each dancer.The applause that they hear from their teacher, teammates, parents, and crowds become a permanent part of their inner nature. They begin to feel like a star!
Every dancer develops important life skills. A Director's ultimate responsibility is to teach each dancer how to internalize the established goals. Each dancer should know these five goals by heart, They should be learning and relearning them in each Stars dance class, performance, and studio activity.As a committed Director, develop every aspect of your program on the philosophy to build self-esteem.
