From the reviews

Hello. I have been dancing at Center Stage for many years. I have been dancing there since I was 2 and I have been competing on the competition team for 7 years. Everything is amazing there! The staff is so sweet and they push you to become an amazing dancer.

★★★★★ — Salma, Jul 2021

My girlfriend danced here her whole life and has had nothing but great things to say about it. I’ve been to a few of their competitions and rehearsals and they are really well done and fun. The studio itself is very well kept and just a great place to be.

Your first ballet class at Center Stage Dance Studio

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.
