From the reviews
My daughter Natasha Smith Dargin has been the owner of Center Stage Dance and Gymnastics Co. for the past 15 years. This has been her passion for a very long time, it all started in New Orleans. she has been doing a phenomenal job. I could not be more proud of her.
We had our daughter's 2nd bday party there and she had a wonderful time! The owners responded to all of my crazy request and was very accommodating, even communicating 4 months in advance. 20 mins before the party, they even helped switch the room around because it wasn't what I had envisioned.
I tried online but was having trouble I spoke with Charmaine on yesterday and she told me to come into the center so she could help great service
Your first ballet class at Centre Stage School of Dance
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.
