From the reviews
My daughter dances here and Centre Stage is an amazing studio to be a part of. Here she’s learned patience, dedication, and self confidence as well as dance. Every costume is modest and she always looks beautiful on stage. She is allowed to be her self, she doesn’t have to straighten her curls, and Mrs.
My child started with center stage when she was almost 4 years old and at 11 years old she still attends here and stull loves it! Can not recommend this studio more!
We have heard so many good things about Centre Stage Dance Studio & can’t wait for our dancer to start her 1st season. -Tamie Fields
We have been with Centre Stage for going on 7 years and absolutely love it there. Centre Stage has provided a second family for not only our dancers, but for my husband and myself as well.
Your first ballet class at Centre Stage
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.
