Our Dance Step Programs are Easy, Fun and anyone can do them.

Competition Dancing Offers Too High A Price
After being in the dance business over 30 years we can tell you that promises like that can’t be kept, and are untrue. And in many cases are costly over time. After all, who do you think is going to pay for that expensive Twenty Four hundred Dollar Costume and the Trips, Hotels, Food, Airfare, Coaching Lessons with so called pro’s you don’t even know? For more Information go to the article ' before taking dance classes '.
Our Private Lessons Beat The Competition

And we give Discounts to all Enrolled Students, As Much as $10 Off Regular Private Dance Lessons. We guarantee all Private Lesson Prices will beat the competition.
If Not - We Will Match The Price!
Based on Certified Professional Dancers & Dance Studio’s Not on Someone that claims to be knowledgeable in the field of Ballroom Dance or any other Dance Form.
What this simply means is that there has to be proof of the teachers ability based on professionalism, experience and knowledge in our business.
This takes at least 10 years of training in a dance studio under the guidance of a dance master along with a lot of research and development.
For too many years we have seen dancers become teachers after taking a few lessons. We consider them student-teachers that didn’t finish their programs, Not Teachers of Dance. They Are Not in Our Rankings.

Star Dancer got its roots and name from a saying... ‘If you have the desire to dance, you too can become a star dancer! even if you’ve never danced before'. Age is no factor! Being handicap is no factor! Anyone can dance! You just need encouragement, confidence and the desire to dance.
The idea, of ‘Star Dancer’, started in the summer of 1978, trying to find a catchy name for a business card which in its form appeared as ‘Star Master’. This came from Stan’s mother who went to a print shop and had business cards printed up for his birthday.
To his surprise he opened up the box to read the cards. On the cards at the top was written, ‘Star Master Dancer’. At the time it seemed to be the catchy name that was being looked for in order for the business to take off.
Two years later, working two jobs and teaching workshops in night clubs trying to stay afloat, Stan found himself working for a prominent dance studio. Then one day, working for the same studio at a dance competition, an older dance master, after watching him dance with his students, politely said to him with encouraging words, ‘if you have the desire to dance, you too can become a star dancer’.
At that moment in time, the words that came from the kind gentleman did not even occur to me what was to become later.
A few more years went by, and the words ‘star dancer’ came to Stan again and inspired him to restart his dance business again. With the help of Linda Landwhere, they both started out in a basement studio and called it ‘Social Dance’.
This came about by posting flyers in grocery stores with the words ‘Social Dance Tonight’. The words were a big eye catcher on the front of the flyers and it seemed to work. A few dances later this became a big hit and generated more students taking lessons.
As months went by they would be the first dance studio in the St. Louis area to be in the top 10 on the Internet called ‘Social Dance’. This was from the help of Stan’s brother ‘Anton’, who passed away later.
Eventually this all led them to teach for the Saint Charles School District and later at a aerobic studio in Saint Charles on the north side of highway 70 where they taught Ballroom & Swing. Soon they would move to the Saint Charles Community College where they teach today.
Later, after being inspired with the meaning and phrase, ‘you can be a star dancer to’, Linda & Stan as business partners changed the dance company name from ‘Social Dance’ to ‘Star Dancer’ along with the web site name.
After having the success of being champion dancers and winning top teachers awards, Linda and Stan both believe that, seeing their students perform & dance on the dance floor, they are all ‘Star Dancers’.
When you see the desire of our students, their eagerness to learn and their confidence they show when they enter the dance floor, is an emotional yet rewarding and a honor to be in such a profession & business, especially when you have the opportunity to teach thousands of students each year. So here we are today! The rest is history.
