HISTORY

Star-Lite dance Studio had a humble begining back in September of 1980 as Elsie's Dance Studio.when Elsie Misuk and 24 students first began working out of Sandra Bald Dance Studio. Elsie subsequently moved several times over the next few years, each time to a larger facility, as the number of students , classes and teachers steadily grew. Some of these early locations included Burkholder Church, the 67 Banquet Hall on Fennell Avenue, and the two story building at the corner of Upper Sherman and Brucedale, all Hamilton's Central Mountain Region.

After thriving fr 12 years at the Upper Sherman location Elsie was again on the move to find a bigger and bettter place for the studio to call home. Then in 2004 ,
Star-Lite moved to it's current location on Hempstead Drive as Elsie's daughter Kerry, joined her at the helm in running the day-to-day operations of the studio and helping to expand it's horizons with the ever changing landscape of today's dance trends.

Elsie Misuk : Star-Lite Dance Studio Founder/Owner

"The only thing I have wanted to do my whole life was to work with children. I graduated from Teacher's College, started my own family and when my danc teacher retired, started my own dance studio. Over the years I have been blessed to know many special children and parents and it has fulfilled my dream of helping anf encouraging them even if it is only in a small way.
To see a child come into the studio shy and uncertain and watch them gain self-cofidence, as well as learning how to dance , is probably the most rewarding feeling a teacher could have . I have also formed many close friendships that I will always have with both former students and parents of former students.

As I take over more and more of the everyday duties at the studio I hope to continue with all the qualities my mom had to expand this studio into what it is today. Since I was 3 I haved danced and have loved every minute of it. I knew along time ago that this was what I wanted to do. The joy I get in teaching children and seeing them progress  year after year  is so rewarding..
