Our INTRO TO DANCE program is an exciting overview of the programs that are offered at our studio – Ages 3 to 4. Here, students begin to learn, through TAP, how sounds fit into music and to immediately tap into their musicality; through pre-BALLET, the grace of movement; through JAZZ basics how to isolate the different parts of their bodies. The program is quite varied, making it an exciting beginning of our young students’ dance education.


Intro To Dance

Our classical ballet program contains the fundamental building blocks for all of our dancers.  This elegant art form is designed to strengthen each dancer's body and mind.  Ballet classes stress body placement, flexibility and fluidity, which allows your dancer to reach a level of artistry unmatched by other styles of dance.  Using every count to fill the music, ballet students show an outstanding control and carriage of their bodies.  This style is recommended for dancers who are seriously motivated to train.  Pointe classes are available for more advanced students ages 11 and up upon faculty recommendation.


Ballet

With your arm extended gracefully as you gaze off into the distance, make sure you look to Center Stage’s lyrical/contemporary program to fulfill your softer side of dance. As a blend of ballet, jazz, and modern dance, flexibility and technique can surely be found here.  Students will learn to tell a story through their graceful movements and will leave a lasting impression on their audience. The body will move in undefined ways allowing for a free spirit in this dance style.  With connection to your music, surroundings, body and soul, this style will force you to join these ideas into one act of expression. Come join lyrical/contemporary class and tell us your story!

Center Stage Dance & Theatre School

For the past three years, my daughter has studied dance at Center Stage-Ocean, and we are in love with it! The teachers are very knowledgeable and skilled, and the environment is welcoming and kind. I have faith that my daughter is getting excellent dance training. The fact that my kid is happy and that we are treated like "one of the family" is what matters most.  If I could, I'd give this school six stars and heartily recommend it.

In her two years at Centerstage, my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed herself. In addition to having fantastic professional teachers (for my daughter), they are also very well-organized and welcoming (excellent for parents!).
