Astra Studio is committed to providing our students with the best possible dance and performance education. We strive to help each student reach their full potential through building confidence, technique, and a deep passion for performance art.

​

We are incredibly proud of all the accomplishments of our students. Students with the Astra Advantage have had lead, ensemble, and featured dance roles in their school musicals, with Missoula Children's Theatre Company, and the Madhatters Theatre Company. Dancers have performed at The Katherine Hepburn Theatre, Mohegan Sun, and and Foxwoods Resort. In addition to taking home first place every year since we opened, our company dancers have received golden ticket invitations to the World Dance Championship, won both regional and national titles, overall high score, merit scholarships, choreography, entertainment, and costume awards. Graduating students have developed a life long love of dance and continue to perform with their college dance teams and as honored guests at our yearly recital. Through Astra Studio, several students were featured on two major television programs, "The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" and "Holidays with the Houghs". These two programs alone reached nearly 30 million viewers.

​

Astra Studio faculty is always looking for new opportunities for our young performers. We pride ourselves on providing our students with a wide variety of classes, workshops and performance opportunities. We believe children of any age and ability deserve the chance to perform and improve.
