For older children, we offer Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Lyrical, and additional styles that help dancers strengthen skills while discovering their individual artistic voices.

Grace Tamanio

Grace’s love for dance began in her own school years, dancing from middle school through college. When she became a mom of four, she knew dance would be part of her children’s story, too. Watching her own daughters grow through dance has deepened her belief in the confidence, discipline, and joy it builds at an early age.

Grace and her husband Jeff have proudly called Riverview home for the past ten years. As the community continues to grow, they’re excited to bring Twinkle Star Dance Academy’s nationally recognized, age-appropriate dance curriculum to local families.

Grace looks forward to building a studio where children are introduced to ballet, tap, and jazz in a positive, structured environment — and where families feel connected to something special in the Riverview community.

Storybook

OUR Dance Classes

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

Music selections are age appropriate, and class sizes are structured so dancers feel comfortable and encouraged. Our dress code helps dancers feel confident and ready to learn, and our instructors create a welcoming atmosphere where every student feels seen and supported.

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.
