Our Staff
Star Maker employs only high quality, certified, professional instructors. We hire experienced staff only, who instruct using caring and motivational methods. Many of our teachers specialize in a given area. All of our staff members are experienced in writing competitive choreography for dancers in our performing units. They also are capable of writing challenging work for our beginner and recreational students. Technique is a priority. And confidence-building methods are used to enhance student performance level.
Master Classes
Master classes are offered numerous times during the year. Star Maker brings in professional dancers presently performing & choreographing on Broadway or teaching in NYC to instruct master classes. This past season master classes were offered in HipHop, Jazz, Funk, House, and Contemporary Jazz.
Teacher Assistant Program
Star Maker also has a wonderful teacher-training program in place since 1987. This program puts young dancers who aspire to teach in an assistant teacher position. This benefits the students in many ways; it allows for a smaller student to teacher ratio and gives the serious dancer a chance to learn the education aspect of the field.
Teacher/Student Ratios
Certified teacher to student ratio ranges from one teacher to 4-9 students at age 3,4 to 5-10 students at age 5-11 to 5-20 students for ages 12 and up. In classes with more than 12 students, Star Maker adds a student teacher to the classroom. Many smaller size classes also are equipped with a student teacher assistant.
Resident Company
Star Maker sponsors the performing organization, The Entertainers Dance Company. The group, founded in 1975, is a non-profit organization registered with the State of New Jersey that is dedicated to youth performance and development. The Entertainers is made up of young girls and boys between the ages of 5 and 24. The Entertainers have performed at Knicks, Nets and 76'ers Halftimes, the Garden State Bowl Halftime, Julliard School of Music Comic Opera, The Hero, The World's Fair in Tennessee, in Disney World, Epcot Center, Universal Studios Florida, Denmark, and the former Soviet Union in Moscow and Leningrad. The performing unit continues to offer students valued local, state and national opportunities to perform. The Entertainers are available for charity events.
Chance To Dance Foundation
Star Maker School continues to offer programs to children in need, sponsoring scholarships and events for young performers in training through partnerships with local and state charity organizations.

It is a program designed by teens for children ages 7-13 to promote healthy self image and confident movement. The program travels to local recreation and school events and programs to teach an interactive lecture/demo using fun age appropriate music and Hip Hop Dance to convey the message, Keep Movin' to Stay Healthy.
