Please read all of the following information and contact us with questions.

CENTERstage Dance Studio offers a variety of levelled classes for ages 3-adult. We offer a fun environment with quality instruction. Our season follows the school year, with a new season beginning each September and concluding in May. We typically offer a summer session each year.

Our 2024-2025 season is broken into three sessions:

Session 1: September 9-November 1, 2024

Session 2: November 4, 2024- February 14, 2025 (no class 11/25-11/29; 12/23-1/3)

Session 3: February 17- May 9, 2025 (no class 4/14-4/18)

Recital Week: May 12-16; Recital Saturday May 17

Most of our classes perform at a recital in May, and though all students will learn the choreography, students are not required to perform in the recital.

We accept new students during our summer session and during our first and second sessions during the school year season. We are not accepting new students to our classes in session 3. In this case, new student means a student who has not been enrolled since Session 2 of the season.

We do not automatically enroll students. Everyone must register for every session.
