Hoffman Stars Dance Company Named Best of Hoffman
The Hoffman Estates Park District's Park Board of Commissioners named the Hoffman Stars Dance Company as its Best of Hoffman at its May board meeting.
The Hoffman Stars Dance Company was formed in 2004. The program allowed dancers to take more classes at a time and enhance their dance skills in multiple forms of dance at a faster pace. In 2009 the company began competing in local park district competitions. They have since moved up to the intermediate level of dance in regional competitions that take place all over the country.
Under the direction of instructors Kelsey Nebl, Laura Sue Jensen, Melissa Baxter and Shannan Pelayo, the dancers have participated in four competitions in Illinois and one in Wisconsin this year. They have received high awards in all of their competitions. The company members also perform at several of the park district's events including the annual dance recital, Winter Showcase, Winter Fest and have danced at the Chicago Wolves Game and Schaumburg Boomers baseball games.
