CSDA is a dedicated to educating their “dance family” with the technical aspect of the art of dance, along with the fundamental of self-discipline to make themselves proud. Center Stage has and will continue to train dancers to transition into the professional world along with giving them the opportunity to have the knowledge to continue the passion through teaching. However CSDA understands that not all students strive to become professional dancer. Because of this, we have a fun stress-free approach to elevating our students as both dancers and confident kids.

GRIT & DETERMINATION: We enthusiastically believe that hard work trumps talent and that kindness will change the world. We teach success can only be achieved by becoming confortable with failing. A child only fails if they quit trying. Our dancers learn that humility is not weakness, but a strength.and that it takes courage to accept that you will always have more to learn. CSDA knows that their dancers will not always be the best in the room. That’s out of our/their control. But they can be the hardest worker in the room. That is in their control.

CONFIDENCE: We believe confidence is of foremost important to all kids. They must learn to believe in themselves first for others to believe in them later.

RESPECT: We teach and reinforce respect in all forms.... for their families that sacrifices time and money; for their teachers and professionals that teach them their philosophies; for their friends and fellow dances who give themselves permission to be vulnerable.

COMMUNITY & JOY: CSDA is committed to teaching the passion of dance along with loving their dancers. It is a true gift to apart of so many special people lives.
