By Jacqui Panasian and Carrie Hotte November 15, 2021

Rising Stars School of Dance is an all inclusive, recreational dance studio offering

lessons to dancers beginning at one year old. Located in the White Birch Plaza in

Chicopee, MA, it is easy to get to from Ludlow, Springfield, Wilbraham, Chicopee and

more. As a DancelyTM Licensed Studio, the under 6 year old program provides

exercise, education and entertainment through original music, dance and movement.

Rising Stars is one of the premiere dance studios in the world to offer Dancely as it's

unique under 6 year old programming.




All dancers can experience classes in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, hip hop, and more. The

unique musical theatre program encompasses stage improv, acting, and voice as well

as musical theatre style dance. Classes are always reasonable in size, meaning

students get individualized attention at each class from a highly trained, professional

teacher. Dancers have the opportunity to join class from home when they are unable to

make it to the studio through the unique Virtual Studio option, available to everyone.

Dancers have multiple opportunities to perform and continue their dance education

through NADAA conventions and the Company Performance Team. Free trial classes

are available year round as well as 6, 8 and 12 week sessions with no further

commitment necessary. For the avid dancer, pricing can be one all inclusive price to

include everything from registration fees to dance leotards, recital shirts, costumes and

more!

Rising Stars embraces a holistic learning style with monthly themes, community

performances, specialized inclusive training and more. Dancers emerge from their first

class eager to come back and learn more. After their first month, dancers are quickly

gaining confidence in and out of the classroom. After 6 months, dancers are visibly

stronger, have a keen knowledge of dance terminology and have become fast friends

with other classmates. After a full dance season, dancers have a vast knowledge of

dance terminology and history, gained valuable friendships, perform confidently and

are stronger and healthier than when they first began. It's no coincidence, it happens

over and over again with each and every dancer that comes through the door at Rising

Stars. Miss Jacqui knows each student's name, their likes and dislikes, their siblings

and pets and more. Each family is more than a number in class; they are a valuable

part of the lifeblood of the studio. Rising Stars goal is to provide a full, enriched dance

education experience for all. It's not just one class a week, it's a family, a lifestyle, a

form of happiness. Reach out today to book a trial class!
