From the reviews
Center Stage is absolutely wonderful, my daughter has been there for a few years now and it is like her second home. We love the staff and she has learned so much!
I got the joy of seeing Matilda and I have to say that it was absolutely amazing. Excellent teachers make fabulous dancers and singers. Keep up the great work!!!
The teachers are ✨️AWSOME✨️ The talent is IMPECABLE and the kids, as well as everyone are very kind and supportive. Our first year, we felt welcome, and almost as if we had been dancing/singing/acting here our entire lives. Seriously I HIGHLY reccomend.
Our 5th year of dance here and we love it! Great owners, amazing teachers and always welcoming!
Your first ballet class at Center Stage Performing Arts 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.
