Missing Class:
CenterStage cannot offer a refund for classes students have missed due to school activities, vacations, or illness. Students are more than welcome to "make up" by taking another class that is similar in style and level to the one they missed to help compensate for class time missed.  With enough heads up, some instructors may be able to film class live and store it in Google Classrooms, or offer a live Zoom option for students to refer to!

If four or more classes are missed during the spring semester. The instructor may require the student to pay for private lesson(s) until the instructor believes the student is recital ready. This is to protect the integrity and hard work of the class.

Google Classroom:
After teaching 9 weeks online, due to Covid 19, we have discovered that Google Classrooms is a wonderful place to host recital practice videos, choreography breakdowns, and curriculum charts. The Google Classroom code will be available the first day of class, in the description portion of the class, in the parent portal.

Cancellation Policy:
In the event that a parent wishes to withdraw a child from his/her dance class, the parent must notify our central office in person and sign our cancellation form. The office must receive notification of your intent to withdraw by the 15th of the child’s last month of dance. Not meeting this requirement will cause your account to be charged for the following month’s tuition. Anyone who withdraws after November 30th will be responsible for payment of the full costume fee.
​
Newsletters and Email Communication:
All communication from the studio to parents, including monthly newsletters, occurs through email. It is EXTREMELY important that parents read the complete newsletter every month to keep updated on studio happenings, fees due, events, etc. In addition to emailing the newsletter, we also post a copy of the newsletter on our website at performcenterstage.com. In addition to the newsletter, other email updates may be sent out periodically. PLEASE MAKE SURE that the office manager has your current email address on file so that you will not miss any important information. Please contact the office if you are not receiving your newsletters or other studio communication. Also, please check our CenterStage Facebook page. Sometimes our email goes to your spam folder, please make sure you add info@performcenterstage.com to your address book.
​
Weather Related Closings:
We do NOT always close the studio when schools are closed due to inclement weather. Please check our website, Facebook page and answering machine for weather related closing information. While the studio may be physically closed, all classes will continue via Zoom and housed in the Google Classrooms. Links and directions will be sent out the morning of.
​
Parking:
We have limited parking in front of our studio. You may drop your children off at the front door IF they are 8 years or older. Please make sure that you see them enter the building. Please do NOT park in the entrance and exit areas of the parking lot or in the round about.

Waiting/Lobby Area:

Our highest traffic areas are our lobby and bathrooms. We will be cleaning and sanitizing areas commonly touched like door knobs, door panels, and the desk every hour.

For the time being, we will be discouraging congregating in the lobby while classes are in session, with the exception of parents of a dancer ages 3 - 6 years old. Please be nearby just in case your dancer or instructor needs you.


We will be limiting the seating in the lobby and ask that all parents and siblings of dance students 7 and up stay in the car, or enjoy the CenterStage porch, while their dancer is in class, if the family chooses to remain on CenterStage property during the class time.  Medical situations for the student or parent will be accommodated.


We do ask that dancers and families be aware of the volume in the lobby during pick up and drop off. It is quite cavernous and creates challenges for our office manager to answer phone calls.


The student lounge is only to be used by students who have a locker, are keeping large items like school back packs in storage, are eating snacks or dinner, or are doing homework. Students with breaks in between classes are more than welcome to quietly observe class in the theatre or wait quietly in the lobby. Students should not congregate in the student lounge at this time.


We know this camaraderie between families and students is what has created our culture and our #CSFamily. We encourage our families to take that coffee and conversation onto our porch! While we are limiting our seating inside, we will be adding more Adirondack chairs outside.


​We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support as we navigate these Covid precautions for the safety of our students, families, and staff, but also get back to dancing and our #CSFamily back home!

What Our CS Family is Saying


"THANK YOU for caring about about the WHOLE child, for costumes & choreography & music that are age appropriate...THANK YOU! For the self confidence I see you cultivating & nurturing in not only my child but so many others...THANK YOU! For the COURAGE to take on this task & follow your heart...THANK YOU! My daughter would not be where or who she is today without her CenterStage family. With every ounce of my soul, I THANK YOU!" - Jennifer Moore


"Thank you for creating a performing arts studio and not just another competitive dance studio.  I am grateful to be a part of a studio where all the girls are accepted and are offered many things to choose from, beyond dance so they can explore so many different avenues of the performing arts!  I so appreciate that when my daughter graduates she is going to take with her all the wonderful memories from class, the friendships she has made, and the life lessons she learned from you guys!" - Deanna Rice

"CenterStage is not a place. It's the people" - Christian Bare, Instructor and Director

"I cannot say enough positive things about Centerstage. The teachers, staff and kids are so kind, caring and encouraging to each other. The support is unbelievable! My daughter has made amazing friends at this studio, many of whom are much older than she is, but they have helped coach and encourage her along the way and she looks up to them so much. I greatly appreciate the modest recital costumes and clothing, they are very much age appropriate. Perhaps most of all however, is the dedication of the owners and teachers. They truly pour their heart and soul into this studio and the children that attend it." - Jessica Vaughn

"Thank you for giving me a new family and a new place to call home. I owe who I am today to the CS Family." - Christian Wilken, Instructor from Nebraska
