We’re thrilled to announce Pop Cirque, our final SpringBoard production of the 2025–2026 season—a high-energy, full-scale circus spectacular that combines the excitement of our beloved “Pop Show” and “Live on Tour” themes with the awe-inspiring magic of circus arts!
Much like Under the Big Top, this show will feature circus performance in nearly every number, but this time set to iconic pop hits and genre favorites. Each act will spotlight a performer representing a popular music artist as if they’re live in concert, complete with background dancers, vocalists, and thrilling circus artistry woven throughout their set.
Get ready to explore a variety of musical styles, including pop, rock, R&B, gospel, emo, 80s, 90s, and more!
We’re calling on everyone—aerialists, acrobats, contortionists, tumblers, singers, dancers, and any performer with a unique talent. If you have something special to bring to the stage, Pop Cirque needs you!
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable, genre-blending, showstopping experience!
Registration opens February 16th!

PRICING PER VARIETY SHOW

​First student: $200 *$25 non refundable deposit due upon enrollment
2nd sibling: $150
3rd sibling and on: $100
**Auditions:** Please read very carefully!

Students do not need to audition to be a cast member in Pop Cirque. The directors work hard to make sure each student is featured in the performance. However, if students are interested in a vocal solo or placement in an advanced dance group they must audition. We will be holding auditions on Monday, March 2nd. This will be the only opportunity to audition for a featured solo. Only students who are registered through our parent portal for Pop Cirque may audition.

Tuition for March is due February 20th and considered late February 21st! For more information on how our tuition and billing cycles run, please visit our Tuition Page!

CenterStage tries to keep accurate records of how long each of our students has been dancing! At our Awards Ceremony in May, we will give special recognition to those students who have been dancing for 5, 10, and 15 years! If you are unsure if we have your student's years of dance (are new to CS) or think they may be celebrating one of these milestones - please email us to confirm at [email protected]

We are so excited about our 2026 recitals and are already in the process of planning those. This, of course, includes our gift to our students - their annual yearbook.
 We have been fortunate over the past seven years to continue to cover the costs of creating and printing these yearbooks via ticket sales, ads, and our Zaxby’s fundraisers. 

Please consider driving through or stopping in at the Gallatin Zaxby's for a snack or dinner on February 20th! A percentage of that night's proceeds will help us finance our 2026 yearbooks!

What Our CS Family is Saying

"CenterStage is more than just a dance studio, it's a place where memories are made and people come together" - Brenna C., current CS student

"Centerstage Performing Arts has had a huge impact on my life! I have no idea where I would be without this place. Centerstage was something I looked forward to everyday while in high school. High School could be stressful some days, but being able to see friends and take classes instantly improved my mood. As a guy, you don’t see many other men in theatre/dance. Having other male students and teachers really encouraged me to try new things and really embrace the stage. Centerstage has also helped to prepare me for college. They have helped prepare me for auditions for shows and vocal lessons. I will always be thankful for the impact Centerstage Performing Arts has made on my life!" - Logan Purcell, CS Alumni


"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, CS Mom

"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, CS Mom

"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, CS Mom

"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
