From the reviews

CDA! My daughter has been dancing with Centerstage for 8 years. I didn’t come from a dance background so it was very comforting that this studio scooped us up and helped guide us through the world of competitive dance. My daughter experiences genuine encouragement from her choreographers and peers.

My little girl started dance this year and she loves it! The teachers are not only wonderful dancers they are so personable. They make every child feel welcome and comfortable. They have such high energy which is great especially for keeping the little ones attention.

The best dance school in Tampa!!! The customer service is wonderful, the teachers are lovely. The owner Limbert is excellent, from the moment you arrive at the studio he makes you feel like family, answers all your questions and is always willing to help.

Your first ballet class at Centerstage 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.

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.
