About Amanda & Bright Stars Dance
Meet the Founder
"My name is Amanda Luong and I am the owner and founding teacher at Bright Stars Dance."
I’ve been teaching dance and music to young children for 20 years, and as a mum of two myself, I understand just how much a great program — one that truly suits the developmental stage and natural curiosity of children — can shape their early years in the most beautiful ways.
Bright Stars Dance has been running for over 10 years, and everything about it — from the lesson structures to the songs we choose to the way our teachers speak to the children — has been thoughtfully developed based on two decades of real experience in early childhood dance education. Every minute of every lesson is planned to ensure your child gets the most out of their dance and movement class.
Why I started
"I started Bright Stars Dance because I couldn't find a program that met the standard I knew was possible — so I designed one myself! Keeping the business small means I have personal oversight over the quality and training of every teacher, and I remain the direct point of communication for all of our centres, alongside their assigned teacher."
Our Core Values
A well-designed, age-appropriate dance and movement program can do extraordinary things for children:
Confidence grows as children discover new skills and perfect dance moves and routines
Children who struggled with transitions finding calm through rhythm and routine.
Shy children blossoming through learning how to express themselves creatively
Children developing physical strength, coordination, and balance in ways that support them in every area of life
Little ones lighting up when music plays — and carrying that joy home with them

Backed by research,
proven by little faces
Peer reviewed research tells us that dance and music participation in early childhood is proven to support emotional regulation, improve gross motor skills (including balance, flexibility, and strength), and enhance cognitive development through pattern recognition, sequencing, spatial awareness, and memory. But more than any study, it’s the children themselves — and the messages we get from the parents and centres who love our classes — that is the proof that our program is unique and special.
