Sign in →Sterling Silver was founded right here in the Twin Ports in 1991, and three decades on, we are still family owned and operated. Our teachers have shared their love of the arts with thousands of children and adults across Duluth and Superior. Many who began in our toddler classes now teach here themselves.
We believe every child moves at her own pace, and every child belongs. Here, students grow into leaders, and so many of yesterday's toddlers are today's teachers. That is the whole philosophy, and it has not changed in thirty-five years.
Grace, quietly earned.
Wherever your dancer is today, there is a place for her here. It begins with a single joyful class and grows exactly as far as she wishes to take it.
Where it all begins. Unhurried, joyful classes in ballet, tap and jazz, built to grow confidence and coordination and a lifelong love of dance. Her very first class is the one you will both remember.

Sterling Silver welcomed my daughter with open arms when she was ready to begin dance classes. They offer a variety of class options for her to explore while she discovers the styles she loves.
Sterling Silver offers a safe and accepting place for my son to be his authentic self while doing what he loves. The coaches have been amazing and patient when he has needed a sensory break or an adapted way of learning a skill.
The faculty are amazing role models, and you can tell dance is their passion. They give my girls the confidence they need, and my girls have made the best of friends with their teammates.
Never. Most of our dancers start with none at all. Every class meets beginners exactly where they are, and our teachers are endlessly patient with brand-new little movers.
Everyone, from age two with a parent right beside her, up through high school, plus adult classes. There is a level built for every age and stage, so she never outgrows us.
Always. Sterling Silver is a safe, accepting place for every child, including those who learn differently or need a sensory break or an adapted approach. Every child belongs here.
Not at all. Most of our dancers are here purely for the joy of it. Our competitive team, Company 91, is there if and when she wants it, by audition, but it is never the expectation.
