Owners

Jolene and Glen Mollerick are the proud owners of Stars Studio. Affectionately known as Mama Jojo and Papa Glen, the couple has three daughters who are instructors and choreographers at the dance studio. It was their daughters’ passion for dance and teaching that led them to open Stars Studio in 2008.

As Studio Director, Jolene Mollerick makes it her top priority to offer an exceptional learning environment with a family feel. She wants each of her dancers to consider Stars Studio as a second home. Of the utmost importance to her is fostering a studio culture that promotes diversity, unity and positivity.

The studio’s dance offerings have expanded over the years to include ballet, tap, jazz, pointe, hip-hop, poms, lyrical, contemporary, musical theater, ballet technique, leaps and turns, toning, stretch classes, and MORE! Whether a dancer’s goal is to dance recreationally and perform in Stars’ annual recital, or to dance pre-professionally or competitively, we are eager to help each dancer reach their potential!
