“Astra Studio is our first dance school experience, and I was really nervous after hearing horror stories about other studios. This studio is AMAZING and I couldn’t recommend it more. All the kids came running up to my daughter to greet her and learn her name. The older students nurture the littles and the teachers are so welcoming. We’ve truly had the best time and will be signing up again next season!”
— Elizabeth F.

​

“My daughter started at Astra at just 3 years old and immediately fell in love with dance. Five years later, she still looks forward to every class. The creative, fun, and encouraging environment Astra has built is truly something special.”
— Alyicia L.

​

“My daughter is in her 9th season at Astra Studio, and it has been an amazing experience. The teachers and choreographers are incredible, and the families within the studio are just as wonderful. I encourage anyone considering dance for their child to check it out.”
— Nicole P.
