About The Shy Cat
Bringing technique to life and inspiring women to learn, perform, and earn.
Led by Star Butler, The Shy Cat Dance Studio is Houston’s women-only (18+) training space for technique-first growth—heels mechanics, floorwork safety, transitions, and stagecraft—taught through a leveled curriculum with milestones, coach notes, and video feedback you can keep. Guest events, sponsor nights, and partner activations help you sharpen your craft, grow your network, and reach the next level: arrive unsure; leave with magnetic presence, a bankable set, and a clear plan to keep rising.
For nearly a decade, we’ve helped Houston performers build cleaner technique, safer bodies, and bigger paydays. Ready to advance? Book a Private or join a Seasonal Class (18+).
