My two sons danced at Center Stage Dance Academy for several years. They took a variety of dance classes, as well as acting, and singing. Though neither of them participated in competition or performing groups, they were never slighted in any way. They advanced with all of the other students in their classes even though they chose not to compete or be in any performing group. When my family ran into some serious financial struggles, the studio owner Leslie Clifford, worked with us so that our children would not have to quit their classes. The level of discipline and commitment that my children gained from Center Stage Dance Academy and it's teachers played a part in the young adults they are today. I look forward to my grandchild starting her first combo class there this summer.
Pros: Good level of discipline and classes are very structured. There is also a monetary break for families.
Cons: Parking is a slight problem on certain days of the week.
