As Mrs. Amanda’s sister, I am beyond proud, thankful and amazed with Natalie and her staff that now run this dance school. They have all continued Amanda’s motto of Grace and Dignity! This is a giant family, the children love them all so much. There is nothing but respect, love and growth that comes from this studio.

★★★★★ — Tammy, May 2026

My daughters have danced here for 5 years. I am amazed at the growth in dance skills, work ethic, courage to step out of their comfort zone, and even more with the confidence they have gained. The most positive and encouraging place for young girls. They are teaching them so much more than dance. Our family loves CSD!

Your first ballet class at Center Stage Dance

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
