The mission of Twinkle Star Dance Academy is to share joy and connection through dance.

One parent shared, “Our daughter started dance at Twinkle Star Dance Academy of Livermore when she was only 2 years old and has loved every minute of it! Now 4 years old and dance class is the highlight of her week. The instructors here are so kind, caring and patient and it amazes me how much they have taught my daughter! Definitely would recommend this dance studio to anyone looking to get started!”— M. Bongiorno.
