About this gym
Bright Star World Dance was founded by Rosa Noreen and Janet Taylor in 2010 to provide a beautiful, clean dance studio space in downtown Portland, Maine. Located in the Arts District at the corner of High and Spring Streets, above the Little Tap House, the studio features high ceilings, natural light with windows on three sides, mirrors, and hardwood floors with good spring. The studio operates primarily as a rental space for independent teachers, who run their own adult dance and movement classes -- including belly dance, adult ballet, and floor barre -- alongside special workshops, performances, and a grief-support yoga series. Studio space is also available to rent by the hour for rehearsals, private lessons, photo shoots, and events.
