Company Dancers

Stage Stars Company Dancers

Our company teams cater to all different levels and abilities.

Though we do compete, the primary focus is to instill performance, discipline, fun, and life lessons to be used long after they are done dancing. 

Some notable performances include the half-time show for the Harlem Globetrotters, Dance the World at Walt Disney World and Resort, and a spot at a 76ers game in Philadelphia!
