Hello Parents & Dancers!

We hope you have had a WONDERFUL summer, and are enjoying the last few days of freedom before the new season kicks off.

We have been working hard throughout the summer months prepping for the upcoming season. We are excited to share what’s in store for Star Struck Ballroom 2026-2027: Coast to Coast.

Here’s a breakdown of updates for you, click the update to skip to that section:

August Schedule: What to Expect

August Schedule: What to Expect

Class begins!

We know the first couple of weeks of August are still summer break for many families, and you may already have vacations or other commitments planned. If your dancer is in town, attendance is expected as we kick off the season. If they will be out of town or unable to attend due to a prior commitment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.

These first weeks are an important foundation for the year. We’ll be focusing on technique, introducing new routines, taking measurements, confirming costume sizing, and completing other season-start preparations. While dancers who miss class will have opportunities to catch up on choreography, attending these first classes helps them start the season with the rest of their team.

If your dancer will be absent, we’ll work with you to schedule a time to complete any necessary measurements and other season-start tasks so they don’t fall behind.

As a reminder, tuition remains the same during August, as your spot on the team is reserved and instruction, planning, and season preparation begin from the first day of classes, regardless of individual attendance.

Thank you for helping us get the season off to a smooth start—we’re so excited to kick off another great year together!
