Star Huger - Owner/Director
Starlet “Star” Huger
At a very young age, Star recognized the connection between expression and her own body, and she used that knowledge to translate her own emotions into body language. But above all else, Star has yielded her body, and her life to the one true God, Jesus Christ, who has transformed her dance into worship. Star readily acknowledges God as her choreographer and is determined to change the world through dance. In her own words,
“…Dancing builds faith and removes fear with confidence and endurance. There are no limitations to dancing. What’s deemed a disability can be revived as an ability to dance as long as you exude passion.”
Early on in life, Star Huger was inspired by the late Alvin Ailey, and thusly her choreography is infused with his personal style. Our Director has taken classes with Judith Jamison and Michael Thomas with Alvin Ailey through Alvin Ailey Extension program. The power, passion, commitment she esteem from Alvin Ailey company, she encourages each dancer to exemplify the same energy in all of their classes. Star Huger choreographs in a way which pushes her students to see past their own mindsets and uncover the strength that is inside of them, all while yielding to the influence of the Spirit of God. Star also has a passion for the deaf community, seeking to see deaf and hearing students to perform together.
As a woman of excellence, Starlet has been awarded many times over for her preeminence in dance and choreography. Starlet begin her career as an all-American cheerleader. Later, she became a student choreographer at Grossmont College in El Cajon, CA. Prior to opening DanzStar, LLC, she taught hip-hop at the Ultimate Arts Studio and Dancespace Studio for 5 five years in Hampton Roads. Starlet Huger also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, making her a well-rounded instructor and business owner. She has received her Dance Teacher University certificate Level I and II from Dance Teacher Web who partners with the University of Nevada to provide the most comprehensive teacher training in Summer 2021 and Summer 2022.
With all her technique and knowledge, she always remains humble, encourages others, and is relentless to make sure everyone reaches their full potential. She had a dream to travel to Times Square one day and not only is she traveling July 2023 to Times Square but our performance team with perform on the Broadway stage and in Times Square for Dance The World.
One thing to remember, her passion is to have a life changing impact on every student by making sure their emotional and mental state is healthy.
Mrs. Star believes and lives by Phillippians 4:13...I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. With no doubt, every student will be empowered while dancing at DanzStar studio.
