At Starz, we do more than teach skills — we Spread SHINE. Our unique, positivity-driven approach is rooted in SHINE: Strength, Heart, Integrity, Nurture, and Excellence. These values are woven into every class we offer — from dance and cheer to sports and fitness — creating experiences that build not only physical skills, but also confidence, character, and creativity. Delivered directly in schools and community spaces, Starz classes are designed to be convenient, engaging, and enriching. Our coaches are trained to uplift as well as instruct, ensuring every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated. The result? High engagement, strong retention, and a lasting impact that helps children shine from the inside out.
