From the reviews
My Daughter has been dancing with Center Stage for many years since we moved to Northville. Having experience with other studios, I can attest that I have been extremely pleased we chose Center stage! It’s a truly wonderful and safe environment for her to be in for a variety of reasons!
I grew up at Center Stage. It is a great place to meet people that are not in your school district. I have created long lasting friendships through this studio. The dance teachers are wonderful with care and compassion as well as discipline.
Center stage is a studio I called home for ten years as a student and still can call home almost 15 years later. It gave me an excellent dance education and the best friends I could ever hope for. The owners are not just former teachers of mine but lifetime mentors for me. I wouldn’t be the person I am without CSDC
My daughter has been dancing at Center Stage for 10 years and loves both the staff and students there. The overall dance education has helped in her theater performances too! Thank you CSDC for providing such a positive, encouraging, and supportive environment for my daughter to explore her love of dance!
Adult ballet at Center Stage Dance Company
Center Stage Dance Company runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Center Stage Dance Company
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.
