TSDA MIDLOTHIAN STUDIO OWNER

Sheri Payne

Sheri fell in love with dance from her first lesson at 9 years old in Ballet, Jazz and Tap. That passion grew as she continued dancing and cheerleading through high school and college. Professionally, she is a former Cheerleader for the NFL Philadelphia Eagles and danced in a Levi's Commercial when she moved to California afterwards. When she became a Mom of five, she knew dance would be a part of their lives. As she has watched her own daughters grow through dance, it has deepened her passion and belief in the importance of exposure to dance at an early age. 

Sheri and her husband John, and five children have made Midlothian their home since 2017. The community is growing rapidly and they’re excited to bring Twinkle Star Dance Academy’s nationally recognized, age-appropriate dance curriculum to local families.

OUR Dance Classes

Each class at Twinkle Star Dance Academy Midlothian follows a codified curriculum, which ensures consistency and high-quality instruction.

Our PerformanceS

Performance Opportunities That Build Confidence

Performing is an important part of the dance experience, and we offer several opportunities throughout the year. Our dancers take part in events that help them showcase their progress while gaining confidence and stage experience.

These events are always a highlight for dancers and their families, creating memories that last long after the final bow.

Our curriculum is built around the Twinkle Star Method, which has four key pillars that support dancers through every stage of learning.

Skill Building

Skill Building introduces the essential steps and techniques dancers need. From basic footwork to more advanced movement patterns, this pillar ensures dancers progress with confidence. Every child learns at their own pace, but with structured practice, they gain skills that strengthen their balance, coordination, and musicality.

CENTER MOVEMENT

Center Movement takes these skills and brings them into group choreography. This part of class helps dancers understand timing, spacing, and how to move as part of a group. Naperville families appreciate how their dancers begin to work together as they gain rhythm and confidence in the center of the room.

JUST FOR FUN

Just For Fun is where creativity lights up the studio. Children love the engaging themes, imaginative activities, and playful elements woven throughout the curriculum. These moments help dancers build confidence, stay excited, and enjoy each class through stories and interactive exercises that spark joy.

SHOWTIME!

Showtime brings everything together. Dancers prepare for performances, rehearse choreography, try on costumes, and look forward to sharing what they’ve learned with family and friends. Naperville families love seeing their children shine on stage, and dancers feel proud of their achievements.
