A Dance Academy Focused on Growth, Joy, and Balance
Families in Livermore appreciate programs that build both skill and character, and our dance academy was designed with that in mind. We provide classes for children ages 2-18, offering a balance of structure, creativity, and fun that keeps dancers excited to learn. Every program we offer is tailored to your child’s age and developmental stage, allowing them to progress confidently at their own pace.

The Twinkle Star Method
Our Foundation for Success
What makes our curriculum so effective is the Twinkle Star Method, a structured yet playful approach that guides dancers through four key pillars.
SKILL BUILDING
Skill Building lays the foundation every dancer needs. From basic steps to more advanced combinations, this pillar ensures dancers develop technique that will follow them throughout their journey. Whether your child is two or sixteen, we help them grow through clear instruction and purposeful repetition.
CENTER MOVEMENT
Center Movement brings the skills they learn into collaborative choreography. This is where dancers begin to understand musicality, rhythm, and teamwork. Watching dancers move together in harmony is one of the most rewarding parts of class, and it builds a sense of accomplishment that boosts confidence.
JUST FOR FUN
Just For Fun is exactly what it sounds like. These elements blend creativity with movement, using storylines, imaginative activities, and playful themes that younger dancers especially love. Livermore families appreciate that their children get structure while still being allowed to explore and express themselves.
SHOWTIME
Showtime is the culmination of all their hard work. Dancers prepare for performances, learn choreography, and step onto the stage with pride. Parents love watching their children shine, and dancers gain valuable experience showcasing their progress in front of a supportive community.
A Studio Designed for Comfort, Safety, and Growth
Our Livermore location is designed with families in mind. We offer a welcoming reception area with viewing windows so parents can watch their dancer’s progress, along with plenty of parking for easy drop-off and pick-up. Our raised, sprung floors protect growing bodies, and our mirrors and barres encourage dancers to practice proper technique.
Beyond the physical studio, we provide families with modern conveniences that simplify the experience. Online registration, an online boutique for dress code and costumes, full-time administrative support, and autopay options keep everything running smoothly. Our family-focused environment makes it easy to feel connected and supported.
Classes That Inspire Confidence and Community
Every class follows a codified curriculum, ensuring that each dancer receives consistent and high-quality instruction regardless of which teacher leads their class. This structure is especially valued by families in Livermore who want a dependable learning experience.
We offer small, age-specific classes, helping dancers build friendships and confidence while learning in an environment designed just for them. Our dress code, musical selections, and teaching methods support development and encourage dancers to feel prepared and excited for each lesson.
For dancers who want to challenge themselves further, our Star Track option lets them dance more than once a week at any age. This added dedication is ideal for motivated dancers looking to strengthen their skills or explore new styles.
