Best School in the midwest! Most other studios charge insane prices for less than average instruction. The teachers at Starlite are World Ranking and charge fair prices with a range of lessons to suit every need. Highly Recommend!!

At first, Starlite seemed like a very accommodating and friendly place to learn how to dance for our wedding. Our instructor was very patient and informative; however, due to some miscommunication, my now husband and I double booked ourselves one night when we were suppose to have a lesson. We explained to the woman and were very apologetic, but we could not miss our other meeting. She explained that the $$ and lesson could not be made up, which we were fine with since it was our mistake. However, after that, they stopped answering and returning our calls -- despite our already having paid for

I love this place!!! I wanted To extend my dance and started private lessons. I have a great instructor Candi Perry that literally has taught me how to dance like a million bucks!! Salsa, rumba, cha-cha just to name a few. I like the fact that they ask you what you want to learn, and don't stop until your there..
