Jackie Figueroa is the owner and director of Elite Stars Dance Academy. Elite Stars opened its doors in September 2013. As a mother of 3 daughters who all grew up taking dance classes, she personally witnessed the positive influence it had on them. Although Jackie was immersed in this culture for years, she never dreamed of or imagined owning her own studio. Her push came when she realized the environment she wanted her youngest daughter to dance in was not readily available or affordable; and so, Elite Stars was born. Jackie believes her faith, her commitment to the children of the community and her dedication to our Elite families has set us apart. Hundreds of children have come through our doors, many are now young adults that still return to visit from time to time. Although Elite Stars is a dance studio, we are so much more than just dance. Dance teaches discipline, structure and provides a healthy form of exercise in addition to just being FUN! Our instructors have all worked professionally in the industry but also share Jackie’s passion for children and teenagers. While we pride ourselves in building an atmosphere of community, love, acceptance and family, we also focus on building relationships with the families we serve. Our goal is to not just create great dancers, but to walk alongside our families and help raise our students to be great people.
