History
I felt that there was a need for high quality professional dance education in a family friendly atmosphere in the area. With that intent, Gold Star Academy of Dance opened 13 years ago, becoming the first Dance Academy in Kendall County. We have grown over the years from the old Country Side Center studio to our current location just off Rt. 34 in Heartland Center with three large studio spaces. We continue to add new programs to our already award winning ones. Over the years we have added tumbling and cheer. In 2013, we added our Twinkle Stars program. This program is design just for our littlest dancers 18 months up to age 6. In, 2014 we opened The Academy: Dance*Cheer*Tumbling center in Sandwich, IL. The Academy is home to The Academy Cheer All Stars. We also offer our Vivid Dance Company, which includes, three divisions: performing, hip hip crew and competition for dancers ages 5 - 18.
