History & Background

Celebrating over 18 years, our dance and performing arts school was established in 2002 to act as an example of how great a school can be when it places emphasis on fun and the input of pupils.

At Starlet the children enjoy a friendly and secure environment.

The principal of the school and all teachers are enhanced DBS checked, first aid qualified, chaperone licensed and have taught dance and performing arts for many years. Starlet was created with a view to instilling a true passion for dancing and performance in children, in a friendly and secure environment.
