Where she will spend her week

The facility.

Sprung floors, viewing windows, room to change and parking you can actually use. The unglamorous things that decide whether a studio works for a family in January.

What is actually in the building

Built for dancers, and for whoever is waiting

Sprung floors

In every studio

Proper sprung, marley-topped floors. It is the single most important thing a studio can spend money on and the thing parents never think to ask about. Ankles and knees care.

Parent viewing

Every room

Windows into the studios so you can watch without being in the room. During watch weeks we open the doors properly.

A real waiting area

Warm and used

Somewhere to sit, work, and talk to the other parents while you wait. A studio's waiting room is where half its community actually happens.

Changing space

Recital-ready

Room to change between back-to-back classes, and space that works on the chaotic days before a recital or a competition.

Parking that works

Off-street

Drop-off and pick-up without circling the block, including in a Twin Ports February.

Two-city reach

Duluth and Superior

We serve families from both sides of the bridge, and our schedule is built knowing some of you are crossing it twice a week.

A Sterling Silver studio room in use

The question nobody asks.

If you are touring studios this season, ask every one of them what their floors are built on.

A sprung floor absorbs impact so a dancer's joints do not. Concrete with vinyl over it does not, and a growing dancer who jumps on it twice a week for years will feel it. It is expensive, invisible in photographs, and it tells you a great deal about what a studio spends its money on.

We will happily walk you across ours.

Sterling Silver welcomed my daughter with open arms when she was ready to begin dance classes.
