A World of Performance Under One Roof

Our comprehensive programs are designed to nurture the "whole performer."  Whether your artist is a budding musician, a graceful dancer, or a natural-born actor, we have a place for them to grow.

🩰 Dance Excellence 🩰

Through Stars Dance Academy, our dancers receive elite instruction across a variety of genres. We specialize in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, and more focusing on small class sizes that allow for personal, one-on-one instruction and technical mastery.

🎶 Music, Vocal, and Instrument Training 🎶 

The heartbeat of any performance is music. Through Shurtz Music Studio, we provide instruction ranging from introductory music theory to specialized vocal and instrumental options. Whether your musician is finding their voice or mastering an instrument, our instructors guide them from their first note to their final bow.

🎭 Theater & Drama 🎭

Through Prairie Youth Theater, we offer theatric instruction and performance in a variety of family-oriented productions based on traditional values.  From the spectacle of large-scale Musicals to the sharp wit of Comedy and improv, our performers learn to inhabit characters and tell stories that move an audience.
