Why New Stars

You would ask “Why New Stars?” because our dance school prides itself on being a welcoming and supportive environment for kids to dance. We are passionate about encouraging our students to try out new skills as they take up a healthy and rewarding new hobby.

Each of our programs at New Stars includes an engaging mix of dance, body conditioning, and personal development. Classes include a combination of ballet, ballroom, and rhythmic gymnastics. Students love when Olga adds some rhythmic gymnastics apparatus to classes such as hula hoops and ribbons.

At New Stars, we believe that our programs do more than teach kids how to dance. We aim to make our classes a constructive time for developing both fitness and social skills. In class, kids can practice discipline and work on their concentration skills as they improve their physical ability.

Performances

Regular performances are important for our students. We want all of our dancers to challenge themselves and be proud of the skills they have learned. Performances allow our students to showcase all of their talents to their friends and family. They are our way of celebrating the achievements of our students and their dance community. Our latest performance in 2021, see here

New Stars Dance School offers classes in bright, well-ventilated studios conveniently situated in Halifax (Bayer’s Lake) and Hammonds Plains (Community Centre)

The Little Stars program is aimed at kids 4-6 years old. Classes take place once a week. In our Little Stars program, we aim to introduce kids to the dance class environment. Students will try out a range of dance styles but we focus on physical development and building their confidence in class.

Class sizes are kept small and range from 5 dancers with our youngest students to 15 for our oldest groups.

Our Focus

In our programs, students will:

Learn respect for each other and the teacher – Being able to listen and concentrate is an important skill for kids to learn.

Build confidence and self-esteem – Students will become comfortable dancing in class and will have opportunities to perform on stage.

Practice their social skills – Classes are not only for fun, they also build a solid foundation for social interaction.

Improve their physical fitness – Our dancers will challenge their balance, coordination, and stretching abilities.

We love to see how our students become more focused and confident throughout the weeks. Kids are never bored and do not want to leave the studio!
