At Starz, we focus on whole child development🤩

This means on top of the physical skills children are learning in class, they are also gaining valuable emotional, social, and mental skills that they will apply in all aspects of life⭐

Starz is more than just sports, dance, or cheer classes. We build confidence, character, and a love of movement.

Let's move, learn, and SHINE together!💙

We are so excited to share that The Starz Program was recently featured on the Franchise QB Podcast with Mike Halpern!

It was a great conversation where we had the opportunity to highlight what makes Starz a unique and compelling opportunity for today’s franchise candidates!

In this episode, Starz Founder and Chief Shine Officer, Sophia Wastler, along with Franchise Development Associate, Allie Adamson, discuss how Starz provides the opportunity to be financially rewarding, personally fulfilling, and fit in with the life that owners want to live!

⭐ The Power of Partnerships: Learn how Starz meets children where they already are — on site at school — eliminating the need for a physical Starz location.
⭐ Whole Child Focus: Beyond athletic skills, Starz emphasizes mental and emotional well-being, resilience, and social skills.
⭐ The "Emerging" Advantage: Why being an owner of a newly-franchising brand with over 20 years of operational experience offers more agility, innovation, and a stronger voice than legacy concepts.
⭐ Flexible Operations: Owners can manage the business part-time, adjusting their involvement based on their family's needs.
⭐ Low Barrier to Entry: Total investment is under $45k, with comprehensive training and resources provided to every owner.
