Once Upon A Time.....
As many fairy tales begin, there was a little girl with a dream. From the moment Ms. Lisa started singing and dancing in her hometown of Manahawkin, NJ, she envisioned a place where creativity and passion could flourish—an arts studio dedicated to nurturing young talent and giving back to her community.
What began as a humble voice studio in my parents' living room has blossomed into a full-fledged training ground over the past 9 years. Our roots are deeply embedded in voice and acting, and this foundation has allowed us to expand our offerings and impact the lives of countless aspiring performers.
Now, after 9 wonderful years in our studio home, Starlight Performing Arts has become a cherished haven for those seeking to hone their craft. We are proud to offer high-quality, professional training that rivals the best in NYC and LA, right here in beautiful southern New Jersey. Our state-of-the-art facility offers a stage step sprung dance floor in our main studio, Marley flooring in both studios, professional sound equipment, lighting, microphones, and more, ensuring that our students have the best tools available to develop their skills.
Our talented instructors hold college degrees and professional certificates in Theatre, Music, Dance, and Education. With impressive backgrounds that include National Tours, Regional performances, and appearances at iconic venues like Radio City Music Hall, they bring a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to guiding each student.
At Starlight, we believe in more than just training; we believe in creating a nurturing environment where every child can shine. Our diverse offerings—from private lessons (in person or via zoom) to engaging group classes—are designed to inspire and empower students of all ages. Here, you’re not just enrolling in a studio; you’re joining a family that celebrates every achievement, big or small.
Our dedicated instructors are passionate about providing not only exceptional training but also emotional support and mentorship throughout your child’s journey. Whether they are taking their first steps on stage or pursuing advanced techniques, we promise that Starlight PAC is the place your child has been dreaming of.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our clients for trusting, believing in, and supporting us throughout this incredible journey. Your faith in us fuels our passion and commitment to fostering talent.
We invite you to explore our website and discover the incredible opportunities that await. If you have any questions or just want to connect, please reach out to us today!
We can’t wait to welcome you into our Starlight family!
With Love and Gratitude,
Lisa Carlson and the Starlight Team
