Center Stage Performing Arts Academy

opened in 2000 as a small studio with big

dreams. The studio has since grown, yet still

holds on to the big dreams it began with.

Opening with only a handful of classes

offered, we are now the only comprehensive

studio in the area where a student can train in

various styles of dance, acting, voice, musical

theatre, and instrumentation. The original

building consisted of only one open space.

Today, we are proud of our multi-room

facility, offering some of the best amenities in

the area with state-of-the-art dance floors and

large technology rooms. Ten years ago, the

studio opened with a limited number of staff

and instructors teaching multiple subject

areas.

That limited number has since grown into a

large and extensive base of instructors

offering talent, wisdom, and insight into their

various areas of concentration. We are

dedicated to providing the best staff and

instructors to ensure we are always giving our

students and parents the best experience

possible. Most importantly, we are proud of

the many students who have grown and

succeeded after training at the Academy.

Many of our former students have been

accepted to major universities and have gone

on to perform on Broadway, National and

World Tours, Professional theatres, and

beyond!     

We are proud of how far we have come, but

are constantly dedicated to reaching higher.

While we have grown, we want to continue to

grow and foster more students in the area

who have a dream and passion for the

performing arts.
