From the reviews
My daughter has been with these teachers for 10 years. They pour themselves into the students. The studio is excellent at finding talent and making their students shine.
Love coming here every week to spend time with friends and do one of my biggest passions! Teachers are amazing!! Thank you guys for getting me on the stage again
My daughter has been taking dance classes from the instructors at this dance studio since they opened. She has grown so much and has gained self-confidence, self-disciple, leadership as well as many other skills during her dance lessons. She is involved in several classes and is also on the competition team.
My son and daughter caught the dancing bug this past year, and let me tell you, these teachers are absolute rockstars! My little dude has the energy of the Tasmanian devil but after just a month of classes, he's following directions and participating like a pro!
Your first ballet class at Upstage Center of Performing Arts
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.
