“When I moved to Sherman Oaks, one of the first things I did was look for something for my then 7 year old daughter to take part in at weekends. Long story short, for the last 3 years, my daughter has been taking classes here consistently. She absolutely loves her hip hop and drama classes. So grateful to have came across Blue Starz. An experience my daughter and I will cherish forever.”
