About Shooting Starz
Shooting Starz Adaptive Dance is an integrative dance class suited for children and young adults, with intellectual or physical disabilities. This adaptive dance class gives uniquely-abled children the opportunity to explore movement as a form of self expression. The class will focus on gross motor skill development, nourishing cognitive and emotional needs, providing social opportunities, and self-expression through structured dance and creative movement.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Miss Skylar
Miss Skylar began Shooting Starz in 2019, after finding her love of working with children of all abilities. Skylar is a certified Rhythm Works Integrative Dance instructor and in the summer of 2021, she was lucky enough to be an intern at Miss Kim’s Children’s Dance and Arts in North Carolina. She studied children’s dance education under Miss Kim Black, the 2020 recipient of the Dance Teacher of the Year award. It was there that Skylar learned more about teaching young ones and differently-abled children in the Time to Shine adaptive dance class.
Skylar is also a dance instructor for Michigan Arts Access, a non-profit organization promoting creativity, education, and accessibility to the arts for people with disabilities. She was able to teach an 8-week Creative Movement session for the young adults of the MARESA Transition classes.
​
When she is not at the studio, she spends her summer at Bay Cliff Health Camp, where she has been the Performing Arts Instructor the past 3 summer camps for children with disabilities.
