🌟 Our Newman Branch dance family has something to celebrate! 🌟
We're so proud of our Shooting Stars School of Dance for being recognized with the ADCC Studio of Excellence Award at the national level!

This prestigious recognition honors studios that lead with quality, integrity, respect, and sportsmanship—values our dancers and staff bring to every rehearsal, performance, and competition. It's a reflection of the YMCA's core values in action, both on and off the stage.

Now, Shooting Stars has the opportunity to be named 2026 America's Top Studio of Excellence and receive a $5,000 scholarship—and your vote can help make it happen!
