During each dance season, students work on a choreographed dance, which will be performed in the year-end Recital. Students enjoy a great sense of pride and accomplishment through hard work and dedication. Our goal is to see each student improve both performance and technical skills throughout the year.

A successful performance requires both attendance and commitment to classes, so we ask that students attend regularly. Re-enforcing the work each week helps build confidence and self-esteem. Students missing 4 or more consecutive classes (without just cause) may, at the teacher’s discretion, be excluded from the year-end performance. Dance is a team effort, and every dancer relies on one another. Please contact the studio if your child will be absent.

At the time of registration, students receive a detailed guideline outlining dance attire, footwear, and appearance requirements. The dress code is implemented for a reason: wearing proper dancewear allows for ease of movement and helps teachers detect and correct body alignment. To avoid lost items, we recommend labeling all clothing and shoes with the student’s name.

CentreStage Dance strives to create a positive atmosphere for all students. Teachers and staff are committed to showing appropriate and respectful behavior, and we expect students to do the same toward their instructors, peers, and reception staff while on the premises. If any problems occur, parents will be contacted and a solution will be discussed.

At CentreStage Dance, some students are dealing with serious illnesses such as leukemia, which makes them especially vulnerable. If your child comes down with chickenpox, measles, or any other contagious disease, please contact the studio immediately. We need to notify the parents of at-risk children as quickly as possible. Early communication is crucial, as chickenpox and measles can be life-threatening for these students.
