    My daughter has absolutely thrived at TDA!! Last summer at the 2024-2025 NADA season kickoff party…read moreshe had a horrible panic attack and literally hid in the restroom bc she was so anxious about introducing herself to everyone. She was in FULL meltdown mode and it wasn't fun!! Fast forward to this summer and not only did she have an INCREDIBLE season, she's now doing a SOLO for the upcoming season! We're in absolute awe of how much she's grown in just 3 years of dancing, and we have TDA to thank for that! I also take (adult) classes at TDA and it's been wonderful for my mental and physical health! This really is our safe space and we wouldn't change it for anything. We're actually having dance withdrawals...we can't wait for the season to start! Thank you, TDA!

But above all of that they love each dancer in their uniqueness- not demanding conformity of personality & body type. My daughter has absolutely thrived in the past 18 months we have been here. Being very shy, and sometimes socially challenged, we have seen her come out of her shell and truly show a love and joy for dancing as well as her teachers and classmates. For the first time ever she asked to choreograph a dance for a school PTA competition. Thank you TDA and Ballet Academy North helping her express herself through dance

    We did our wedding dance lessons here! Sarah was amazing. She was friendly and made learning a…read moredance fun! Our wedding dance was perfect for us. It felt polished without feeling choreographed at all. It became like second nature to us, so on the wedding day we felt prepared and not too anxious! It was so much fun that we plan to return for more dance lessons!

    My husband and I have taken private lessons from Dominic at Arthur Murray and also attended group…read moreclasses. We in our 70s and didn't dance before, so it was challenging for us to learn. I was very nervous about social dancing. Dominic is a patient, clear teacher, incredibly clever at seeing and helping us correct our difficulties as we learn a dance. All the teachers are friendly and cheerful. Dancing has been great gentle exercise, and we always have fun. Recently, we rented the studio venue for an anniversary party for about 60 people. The space was more than adequate for that crowd, plus we had plenty of room for dancing, the buffet line, and the large photo booth. Dominic is great to work with and knows events. Cost was quite reasonable. He was on hand to help us with details. The studio provided set-up tables, chairs and linens. There is also a kitchen with a pass-through window and we put our beverages in their refrigerator. There is a big TV in the larger dancing room, and we ran a slide show there, which guests enjoyed. In addition, we created our own music playlist and the studio ran that through their sound system.

    Thank you to Mrs.Michelle the owner of Center Stage Dance Studio for believing in Dakota! Not only…read moreis she the owner but she is one of Dakota's dance instructors! If you know Dakota she never wants to miss a beat in her steps not because of her letting her self down but she never wants to let a teacher down. Michelle always tells these girl's it is okay not to be perfect. This year has been a tough year on Dakota in the dance world and she finds her comfort with in the studio. Brylee and Mrs Tori have been amazing this past year as well. Brylee use to be the Captain at LHHS for two years and has taken the time one on one with Dakota to show her support and has been an amazing role model and friend to Dakota. The dance world for young girl's is not always easy and never easy when you are that "new" girl on the block. So thank you Brylee for being there for D! Oh Mrs.Tori!!! Thank you for loving our girl's and being the encouragement they need to keep pushing!

    *Updating this review to mention that if I had any ounce of thought to continue with this studio,…read moreit has gone out the window after reading the owner's rude and condescending reply to my review. I reached out via email last night explaining the issue and never received a response, I suppose because they're more concerned with their public image on Yelp than helping families. After reading this response, I'm pretty disgusted with the management of this studio. I am beyond upset and disappointed in the studio after what happened to my daughter during class last night. She loved her class last year when her instructor was Nicole, but this year she got Maggie. I've watched the class as Maggie pays zero attention to my daughter and instead focuses on the other girls who are doing really well. She didn't help my daughter as she struggled to learn the dance, she would just yell at her in front of the other girls and simply tell her to keep up. Last night, My daughter got frustrated during class tonight because she felt like she wasn't keeping up with the rest of the girls, so she cried and looked very defeated when I picked her up. After class, Maggie asked to speak with me privately in which she made it very clear that she doesn't want my daughter to return to her class. She said that the other girls are having fun and working hard while my daughter is always crying. She said she only wants dancers who will have fun and work hard. I'd also like to note that I've watched Maggie's interactions with my daughter while in class and she visibly ignores her and doesn't engage with her like she does the other girls. We had a great season last year when Eliana was in Nicole's jazz class, but unfortunately this year has been very disappointing. I'm incredibly upset with Maggie and her comments to me tonight, so we don't plan on returning. I would feel too uncomfortable sending my daughter back after we were indirectly told it'd be best for the class if she doesn't return. Unfortunately, I've already paid for the recital, the costume, and the tuition for March, so I guess I'll have to eat those costs.

This doesn't mean much to most people, but I think it is what made the school so welcoming and family-like in the past. In recent years, I have heard nothing but bad things, with parents and students alike feeling that the school has become more about the "business", more elitist, and more snobbish. I haven't been back since 2014 so I cannot comment on the accuracy of these statements, but something to keep in mind. This is a review for the adult classes only. I've danced for most of my life, but have not focused on any particular style. I tried out both Adult Jazz and Adult Ballet. Jazz was great - there was a thorough warmup, some across-the-floor combinations, and then an actual piece of choreography that we were going to learn and perform at the school recital! The instructor was awesome and friendly, accommodating the wide range of skills in the classroom. I didn't like ballet as much, but that's probably because I'm more used to the standardized class formats that are used at company feeder schools like Boston Ballet and Ballet Austin. There was less structure in the ballet class and - even though there were only 3 students that day - I felt like corrections were too generalized, unhelpful, and not given enough. Overall, a great place for recreational-level adult dance, but if you want to really work on and perfect your technique, I suggest you go elsewhere. The adult classes are really geared towards beginner-level individuals. Not a bad thing, just not what I needed at the time.
