HistoryOur founder Michele Lee has remained committed to offering the highest quality dance education to students in western North Carolina for over thirty years. The success of Center Stage lies in maintaining positive relationships with our students and forming a life-long love of dance. Many of our former students now bring their own children to class at Center Stage to become part of our dance family!SpecialtiesDancing since 1979, Center Stage offers classes in ballet, tap, jazz, acrobatics, hip hop and contemporary for children age 2-18 in Western North Carolina's top rated dance facility. Unique among dance studios in the area, all members of our faculty hold degrees in dance or early childhood education, have danced with a professional company or maintain membership in Dance Masters of America. Dance classes are held on a weekly basis mid-August until the end of May, culminating with an annual spring recital. In addition to classes for children and teens at all levels, the studio maintains a pre-professional ballet preparatory program, as well as the Center Stage Performing Company (2013 National Champions at Dance Masters of America and Showstopper). During the summer we offer weekly Theme Camps for ages 3-8 and Dance Intensives for advanced dancers. Center Stage also hosts fabulous birthday parties!
