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.

For thirty-five years, Twin Ports families have grown up on our floor. From a first, wobbling pliƩ to a stage she will never forget, this is where confidence, grace and lifelong friendships are made.
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.

My daughter started in Academy at three and just made Company 91. This studio has been part of our family for a decade. The teachers genuinely care.
We tried a few studios in the area. Sterling Silver was the only one where my child felt part of something from day one. The free trial sold us.
Recital day is the highlight of our whole year. You can feel how much history and heart lives in this place. Thirty-five years, and it shows.
