I’m excited to share some inspiring news that shines a spotlight on the power of dance in early childhood learning and reinforces what we’ve always known at Twinkle Star Dance.
An upcoming Stanford-linked study on early childhood learning highlights the meaningful role that structured movement and rhythm activities can play in young children’s cognitive and developmental growth. This research adds to a growing body of evidence showing how dance supports skills like coordination, executive functioning, and social engagement in early learners.

What makes this especially exciting is that Twinkle Star Dance stands as the first and only dance curriculum formally backed by this kind of scientific research connection. Through partnerships with leading institutions like Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania, we’ve built our curriculum not just on artistry and joy, but on science, intentional design, and measurable findings about how movement enhances young brains.
Our Twinkle Star Dance method teaches more than steps — it harnesses the science of learning through movement to help children develop confidence, focus, coordination, social skills, and a love for lifelong learning.
Thank you for being part of a community where creativity and research go hand in hand to give each child the best start possible.
