Costume information?! We know, we know! Spring recitals start early around here! Recital is optional (but definitely encouraged! As a fine art, performance is what we work towards!). For those planning on participating, we scheduled a deposit of $50 per costume, due September 15th. The remainder of the costume balance is posted and must be paid by November 3rd. Any costumes unpaid will not be ordered; students without costumes will not perform in the recital.
We are excited to announce our CSU Convention opportunities this season!
What is a dance convention?
Dance conventions give aspiring dancers the opportunity to take class from industry professionals around the country and sometimes the world. Additionally, it is a chance to work with other dancers and take new genres!
CenterStage chooses to attend certain dance conventions during the year that we feel are symbiotic with the culture at CenterStage. We look for conventions that celebrate technique and passion for dance, and that aren’t solely about competition and bringing home a trophy. It is important to us that our students embrace the classroom, the love of technique, and the passion for dance as well as being kind and encouraging to others.
Is a dance convention right for my student?
Do you have a hard time getting your child to leave after class is over?
Does your child dance everywhere they go?
Is your child reasoning with you why and how they can take more dance classes?
Dance conventions are for you!
