Back in 1999, David Melendez came back from an event saying that he needs a team that would represent him and the Starlite Dance Studio. He always liked the idea of the boy bands and decided to create a dance team that was made up of teenage boys. Six (6) boys were picked and David started working with them and introduced them to the dance world in March of 2000. From the beginning they were a big hit and David instilled in them how to act and be in front of the all adult crowd. Those original boys have moved on to become productive citizens and positive influence to many at the same time being gentlemen at all times..

Starlite Dance Studio is home to several talented dance teams - one of which is The Sweethearts. The Sweethearts is an all female dance group comprised of 9 girls ranging in age from 11-18. Originally, David Melendez created the Sweethearts for the purpose of doing one routine – but through perseverance and hard work they’ve made a name for themselves in the mambo scene. Lettie, Theresa, Christina, Heather, Venus, Erika, Walnette, Michelle and Danielle have a passion for dance that pushes them to work hard to accomplish their goals, both in dance and in their education. These girls work well together and their style and energy light up the stages they dance on. The personal bond they share is evident in their performances. Their talent and hard work has truly made them an exceptional team. These girls are true Sweethearts, inside and out.
