Welcome to the official Shooting Star Dance Center page! Shooting Star Dance Center was founded in 1978 by owner/director Carol-Ann Boardway Chapin.

Miss Carol has been dancing for nearly 40 years. She developed her life-long passion for teaching the art of dance at a very young age. Miss Carol received her Masters in Ballet and Theatrical Arts from the Dance Educator’s of America Teacher Training School in 1982 and continues to train and learn consistently. At Shooting Star Dance Center, Miss Carol along with her staff, realizes that every student begins to dance for a wide variety of reasons, therefore it is our goal to make sure that we teach our classes with an open mind and an open heart. We welcome all ages and skill levels into our school. Shooting Star Dance Center can create a program to suit your child’s needs whether it is a once a week class for fun and exercise or a more intense program for the more dedicated dancer.
