Dance Instruction Excellence

Award-Winning Training for All

Graduates from “Rising Stars” dance classes Cambridge have professionally have been in industrial shows, movies and music videos. 

BUT

We always know that only 1-2% of kids will ever do anything professionally with dance so our instructors who teach our “Elite level” Excel Competitive team, also teach our recreational kids dance classes.  

This quality of instruction may be why we consistently win awards from the community from organizations like Consumers Choice Awards, Readers Choice Awards & The Junior Achievement Business Awards.
