Dance Club

This is our story … In 1979 Sheryl Dowling joined the STARS national organization as a charter member and advertised for dance auditions to be held in a small space on West Center Street in Provo. 300 dancers attended that first audition and the Provo Stars Studio began! Classes were taught only two days a week and within a very short time the studio outgrew that space and moved into the old BYU Women’s Gymnasium on University Avenue in Provo. After four years Sheryl chose to leave the Stars organization and moved into the old Albertsons building on Center Street in Orem where The Dance Club stayed for 24 years. Past performances include World Expos in Vancouver, Canada and Osaka, Japan, appearances at the Special Olympics, Disneyland, Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World, NBA halftimes for the LA Lakers, the Phoenix Suns, and Philadelphia 76ers and the Denver Nuggets, and NFL halftimes for the Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco 49ers and the San Diego Chargers. University halftimes include BYU, UCLA, University of Utah, Air Force Academy, UNLV, San Diego State, Arizona State and the University of Idaho. Other shows include the Mrs. Utah Pageant, Princess Cruise Lines, Cancun, Mexico and the 2002 Olympics. In 2002 The Dance Club, The Winner School in SLC and Dance Impressions in Bountiful, joined forces to create the “Art With Heart” benefit concert for Shiners Hospital which has now earned over $100,000 for children needing medical help.
