LOVE THIS PLACE! I have 3 girls and they all dance here. Been dancing here for about 8 years now. We love the teachers and staff here. I would definitely recommend checking out CSDA if you are looking for a studio for your child.
We have been part of the CSDA family for 12 years. Our daughter loves dancing there and considers it a second home. She's had some great instruction and we appreciate Leslie and all the other instructors who have spent time helping her to achieve her goals.
Your first ballet class at Center Stage Dance Academy
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
