Photo Info!

Picture
CenterStage dance students will have the opportunity to take class and individual photos in their recital costumes this week!

When: During your child’s regular dance class time, April 5th – 8th, 2021 
• We will try to adhere to as closely to each student’s class schedule as possible. Be prepared that with as many as seven dance classes going on at the same time, some classes may go over. 
• Parents of students Level 1 – Level 4 (K-2nd, and Elementary), we suggest you stay with your student just in case they need help getting into multiple costumes, or finish early.
Where: Photos will be taken in the theatre at CenterStage. All students should get ready in Studios A, D, or E (Purple, Yellow, or Orange studios). Please no hairspray in the theatre. Your teachers will be ready in classrooms to answer questions, escort students to the theatre, and pose students for pictures.
Attire: Students should arrive in costume with hair and make up ready. Hair can be any way you so choose – it does not need to be the same as recital hair. We also strongly suggest lighter make up (not stage make up). Please make sure you bring the following:
  • Costume
  • Correct tights (double check which ones are needed for which class) 
  • Correct shoes 
  • Hairspray
  • Bobby pins

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the photos for? At the end of the year, CenterStage gifts each student a yearbook. Each yearbook includes a headshot of each student, as well as the group photo of their class. Families are not obligated to purchase any photos, however, many choose to document the dance year. Photos will be available for purchase in May via our photographer's website!

Can I take pictures of my student on the stage? Unfortunately, with trying to get as many as seven classes through in one hour, the only folks allowed on stage will be the photographers, instructors, and students. Parents are more then welcome to watch pictures being taken on the stage from the theatre floor, but cannot come on the stage to photograph their student.

What if I can't make my class time this week? That's okay! If you are unable to attend during your usual class time, our photographers can get your student's photos on Monday, April 5th only from 4:00 - 8:15. 
Our photographers will squeeze your student in between classes. Unfortunately, any student unable to attend during their class time won't be able to be in the group photo.  Due to the schedule, and trying to get all students photographed, Monday, April 5th, will be the only option for students to be photographed. Please plan accordingly!

What if I have multiple students dancing and would like a family picture? We love this! We ask that any families wanting photos of all of their students together, come any time on Monday, April 5th from 4:00 - 8:15. Our photographers will squeeze your family in between classes. 
Due to the schedule, and trying to get all students photographed, Monday, April 5th, will be the only option for multiple students in a family to be photographed. Please plan accordingly!

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
