Who we are

Nova All Star Dance Team is a brand-new, high-energy competitive dance program proudly based in the Northland of Kansas City. Founded with a passion for excellence, growth, and community, Nova was created to help dancers strengthen their skills and confidently step into the dance team world.

We are dedicated to developing strong, confident performers through quality training, teamwork, and positive mentorship. Our program focuses on technique, performance, and discipline while fostering a supportive environment where every dancer feels valued and empowered.

At Nova, we believe in building more than great dancers—we build leaders, friendships, and a family. As a new program in the Kansas City area, we are excited to grow, compete, and make our mark in the all-star dance world.

Welcome to Nova—where stars are born and confidence takes center stage.
