About Star Dance Studio

Star Dance Studio, located in Newnan, Georgia, has been a cornerstone of dance education since its founding in 1999 by Leigh Tincher-McGuffey, affectionately known as 'Miss Leigh.' The studio offers a comprehensive dance education for students of all ages, from 3 to adult, and across all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. With a vision to provide training in a supportive, family-friendly atmosphere, Star Dance Studio cultivates talent in a diverse array of disciplines, including foundational Ballet, energetic Tap, vibrant Jazz, dynamic Hip Hop, Lyrical, Contemporary, and Musical Theater. Specialized classes like Pre-Ballet, Primary Tap, Barre, and Ballet Technique are available, alongside preparation for Pointe work, emphasizing strong technique and physical readiness. The studio is dedicated to nurturing skilled dancers and well-rounded individuals. Advanced students seeking performance opportunities can join the audition-based Performance Company and Competition Teams, which have earned numerous accolades and offer rigorous preparation. Instructors like Leigh Tincher-McGuffey, Angie Tally-McBurnett, Ana Parnell, Emma McGuffey (with a background in aerial arts), Maddy Green, and Deanna Saunders bring a wealth of experience and passion to the studio. All students, from the youngest learners to experienced dancers, are encouraged to explore their passion for dance, with many participating in a highly anticipated annual recital. While registration for the 2025/26 season is closed, aspiring students are encouraged to check back in early summer for the updated 2026/27 schedule.
