My daughter has been going to Starcast for nearly 5 years and would go every day if she had the opportunity! All children are encouraged to be their very best. They receive highly experienced and professional tuition, interlaced with care and love that gives a sense of belonging to each and every student. It is a friendly, supportive, yet ambitious environment, within which children of all ages and levels thrive!— Elaine Watkin
Highly recommend Starcast! Dedicated and talented teachers who care so much about every child. My two children love every moment of their weekly session and have made so much progress. The confidence they are gaining through the performing arts is amazing to see.— Nathalie Allexant-Rowland
The usual route is a beginners' class or a private lesson covering hold, posture and a few basic steps. You need no experience, just comfortable shoes with a smooth sole.
Many people start with the waltz because its measured rhythm is easy to count. A simple social foxtrot is another frequent first dance for use on a busy floor.
The basic step comes quickly to most beginners, so progress in the first lesson is encouraging. Refining timing and turns is where the practice comes in.
Yes. Beginner salsa classes assume no prior experience and introduce the steps slowly so everyone can keep up.
Yes, adult ballet is widely taught and starts from the fundamentals of posture and alignment, letting you progress at your own speed.
There is no cut-off age. Adults of any age can take up ballet and enjoy its benefits for strength and poise.
