Starz Dance Galaxy Staff

It is hard work to fill a staff with individuals who excel at teaching dance.  At Starz Dance Galaxy that is just the beginning.  We also insist that all of our teachers are incredible people as well.  We know that your children will be spending many hours with our staff, we want them to not only learn to dance during this time but also have a great example to look up to and learn from in all of our teachers.  With decades of experience in the dance industry we have the ability to make sure we have the right individuals to teach more than just dance.
