We believe that dance is for everyone, and we welcome students of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels with open arms, encouraging each dancer to grow, challenge themselves, and find joy in the journey. Whether you're dancing for fun or future goals, we are committed to helping each dancer grow with confidence, discipline, and purpose.
Everyone has a star within — and we’re here to help it shine! Whether you're taking your very first dance class or you're a seasoned performer, our studio is a place for all ages and all levels to grow, express, and thrive.
Our training combines strong technical foundations with high-energy classes and personalized attention — all in a positive environment.
We’re here to guide dancers toward progress they can feel—while cheering them on every step of their unique journey!
To support that growth, we will be offering exciting performance opportunities throughout the year, giving students the chance to shine on stage, build confidence, and share their passion with the community.
At Star Dance Academy, we don’t just train dancers.
We build character, community, and a lifelong love for dance.

OUR MISSION
"For nearly four years, Marion has been a beacon of inspiration for my son, Wesley, and our family. Her incredible talent and meticulous attention to detail are matched only by her ability to treat students with respect and dignity while demanding their absolute best. In the South, where boys dancing is non-traditional, Marion was the first to truly see Wesley as a lifelong dancer. Her encouragement and vision transformed him into the competitive dancer he is today, competing from Boston to Miami and earning numerous awards.
Wesley’s performances with the Atlanta Falcons dance team before thousands of fans and center-court at an Atlanta Hawks game, just after his sixth birthday, are testaments to Marion’s impact. Her passion ignites his, and her technique builds his confidence, empowering him to shine. While his success reflects his dedication and our support, without Marion’s unwavering belief and guidance, he wouldn’t be where he is today. Her ability to nurture his potential while fostering a love for dance is a gift we cherish deeply. We are profoundly grateful for Marion and look forward to continuing this journey with her support."

"I had the pleasure of having Marion teaching the kids In my dance program. During this time she consistently brought creative, level appropriate and engaging choreography that worked wonders for keeping the kids focused and growing. The security of knowing the kids were always in good hands with Marion at the helm is such a gift for a studio owner. I highly recommend her to any studio owner looking to strengthen their staff and watch their students grow."
