Hair-style for ALL students, ALL songs:
Girls: low bun in back center of head with hair parted on the left. If hair is too short for a bun, please pull hair out of their face in some way. HERE IS A VIDEO! Boys: keep out of face.

Day-Of Details:
  • Parents can drop their student off at our check-in station in the lobby. From there, each child can be escorted by their parent or a CS staff person to their assigned dressing room.
  • We will have CS staff and instructors checking each student in to their classrooms, and additional instructors in each classroom to monitor each level and make sure they are prepared for their next dance. Due to limited space in our class rooms, we ask that parents not be back stage during the recital.
  • With multiple recitals, our shows are relatively short. We ask that students not bring additional toys or snacks, only water in with a cap allowed backstage.
  • During the show, please feel comfortable to remain in your seats. We will make sure that each student is changed and prepared for their next dance so that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy!​

Parking

We are encouraging families to carpool with other family members as much as possible. Additionally, all staff, volunteers, and students who can drive will be parking behind and on the side of the building to leave as many spots out front as possible for our patrons.

We will have overflow parking at the Public Utilities Building across the street, and will be providing a golf cart for staff to ferry any patrons at the bottom of the hill or across the street.

*We are accustomed to having 200+ patrons attend our SpringBoard shows through the season and feel very confident in our ability to safely accommodate recitals at CenterStage also. We have excellent and trained staff to help park and fit as many patrons as possible in front of the building.

What Our CS Family is Saying

"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
