From the reviews
My husband and I were wowed by the performance of Cats today‼️🤩 The 46 cast members only had 50 hours to bring this show to life and they did it in an amazing way‼️ Standing ovation to instructors and those who gave of their time and talents to help these kids produce something truly special ♥️ We’re looking forward…
My daughter takes piano and participates with springboard (a performance group with dancing, singing, acting). The instructors are cheerful, professional, and provide amazing instruction. Five stars!
Natalie is amazing and so sweet. My daughter had a great experience working with her!!
Joining Centerstage Dance Studio at the age of 15 was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Despite most of the students having started as toddlers, I was welcomed with open arms by both the faculty and my peers. From my very first day, I felt an immediate sense of belonging and support.
Adult ballet at CenterStage Performing Arts Academy
CenterStage Performing Arts Academy 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 CenterStage 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.
