Our Story

Spotlight Dance Legacy has a rich history that dates back to the establishment of The Spotlight School of Dance in Creston, Iowa, over 25 years ago, by adonica Struhar. Founded with a vision of imparting dance education to students of all ages, The Spotlight School of Dance gained a reputation for providing high-quality training and outstanding performance opportunities.

After operating successfully for over two decades, the Creston location of The Spotlight School of Dance expanded to Winterset, Iowa. This move allowed the studio to extend its reach and bring the joy of dance to even more students. The Winterset location soon became an integral part of the community, providing a nurturing and inclusive environment where students could thrive and develop their skills.

In 2023, the Winterset location of The Spotlight School of Dance was sold to Sarah Pugh, a dedicated member of the Spotlight staff. This marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Studio, now renamed Spotlight Dance Legacy. As we take over the reins, we are proud to continue the 25-year legacy of The Spotlight School of Dance, while also forging our own path in the Winterset community.

Our commitment to providing high-quality dance education remains as strong as ever. We believe that dance has the power to transform lives and inspire creativity, and we are passionate about sharing this with our students. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced dancer, Spotlight Dance Legacy is the place where you can grow, learn, and achieve your dance dreams.
