Center Stage Dance offers an excellent progressive nine-month dance program for both girls and boys. Our youngest dancers are provided with a learning experience that is grounded in teaching the fundamental techniques of tap, jazz and ballet. Our Basic Classes begin to introduce young dancers to appropriate dance terminology and fundamental skills. As students progress through the years, they have an opportunity to increase the amount of time they focus on different disciplines and grow as an individual while learning to work in a group. Special care is taken to assure students receive the very best in dance technique and terminology training. Every class gets to showcase their skills and growth in our highly anticipated and attended end-of-year performance each spring. Class size is kept to approximately thirteen students. Our classes feature:

 

  • Studios with full mirrors, ballet barre and quality sound systems

  • Wood sprung, hardwood, maple floors for the protection of growing bones

  • Professional staff with training in all aspects of dance

  • A staff that works to build your child’s self-esteem, confidence and poise

  • Locally held, full-staged, professional spring performances in May of each year

  • Opportunity for students to dance at performances throughout the year
