StarLight Dance Academy

Great News….🤩

This past few years marked an exciting evolution in our dance curriculum with the introduction of Speech & Drama, and more recently, a Public Speaking element at Starlight Academy.

While many students felt nervous at the outset, the curriculum—designed by the Irish Board of Speech and Drama—provided a supportive framework for them to grow in confidence and expression. Our dancers spoke passionately about their love of dance, shared experiences from memorable events and trips such as Disney, and reflected on the individuals who inspire them within the industry.

They also demonstrated impressive knowledge as they presented detailed insights into their dance attire and footwear, using their own kit as a practical reference.

The impact of this initiative has been truly powerful. Student feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a newfound confidence in finding and using their voice—an invaluable skill that will support them well beyond the studio and into life and work.

A special thank you to Irish Board examiner Karen Murphy, whose encouragement and expertise significantly enhanced our students’ belief in their dance, performance, and communication abilities.
Our new term will commence in September and we have space for new students. Contact Linda 0862646777

Well done to all of our Speech and Drama students who worked so hard for today. 💪👏🤩
