Performance Opportunities

Why Performance Matters

Performing is an important part of the dance experience at Center Stage. When we perform, we gain self-confidence and self-esteem, we test our progress in technique and stage presence, we share what we have been working on in the classroom; we have to be courageous, and brave, and trust ourselves, and our dance mates, so that our audiences see that we love what we are doing.

At Center Stage Dance Company, we present three shows per season: December, March/April/May, and June.

Our youngest dancers are 'big stage ready' after performing at smaller venues and with dancers, and faculty, beyond their weekly classroom experience. And everyone has a great time at our annual June Showcases performed in front of 400+ people.
