My girls have been dancing at Stars on 9 for several years now. We love it there! We had tried multiple dance studios but none of them felt right until we found Stars on 9. My girls love to go to dance class every week. My 2 year old has been begging to go to dance for almost a year now and is so excited to be able to attend this year. Janet, Cathy, and Sue are exceptional - they care for their students and families so much! If you are looking for a dance studio that is professional, has highly trained adults teaching the classes, and has people that care about your children and the people they

I have been trained, supported, mentored by Ms. Janet Layden from the age of 7. I was inspired to become an educator myself because I experienced the passion, knowledge and commitment to excellence that Janet poured lovingly into EVERY student. If your child possesses the love of dance and you desire to be trained WELL, THIS is the place for you! Brooklyn's loss is Delaware's DEFINITE gain!
