I danced for Centre Stage all growing up and just graduated. Centre Stage gave me the opportunity to meet other dancers, go to camps, and learn from other choreographers which helped me gain confidence and skill. Centre Stage taught me discipline, trust, responsibility, and patience. Jennifer and Melissa expect hard work and push us to not only work hard but to have fun and grow. I wouldn’t be who I am today without my experiences at the studio and am forever grateful for the friendships, lessons, and memories I made while dancing there.

My girls were privileged to dance here for 10+ years. While there they learned hard work, dedication, and unmatched technique. They also gained life long friendships and a dance family that always has your back. We are truly grateful for Jennifer and Melissa(owners), and all the years we spent there. We would recommend this studio to anyone looking for a dance home. Best Studio Ever!!!

Every time I watch a show put on by Centre Stage, I am blown away by the talent. My daughter has danced at Centre Stage for 10 years. Our experience there started as attending a cute 3 year old dance class but has grown into much more than a place to learn to dance. In addition to technique, poise, and grace, Jennifer and Melissa have helped my daughter gain confidence in herself and helped her know she can do hard things. Jennifer and Melissa genuinely care for each one of their girls and I am so appreciative of the time, effort, and love they put into their teaching.

My daughters dance at Centre Stage and it has been a wonderful experience for them. Beyond dance they learn discipline, a hard work ethic, commitment and have created bonds and friendships with their team mates and instructors that will last a lifetime. It is just wonderful to watch all girls perform, such amazing talent at Centre Stage.

I grew up dancing with Centre Stage studios. Centre Stage gave me skills, friendships, and confidence that has helped me for life! When we moved back to Idaho 2 years ago I transferred my daughter from a highly competitive Utah studio to Centre Stage and I’ve been amazed at the positive changes I see in her. She has a renewed confidence and love of dance. She has made the best friends and loves her teachers. Jennifer and Melissa have extremely high standards and expectations of their dancers both on stage and off. Their technique is unmatched. They love and care for the girls and truly want them to succeed. The Nutcracker production is a gift to the community and their spring recital this year blew me away! I’m so thankful that we have such an incredible studio in our community.

Both of my daughters have danced with Centre Stage since they were tiny. We have enjoyed our years of dance at this studio! Jennifer and Melissa are wonderful teachers. They are very organized and great at communicating expectations, events and classes. Every year we loved being able to perform in the Nutcracker. Centre Stage teaches much more than dance and technique, they stand for team work and pushing yourself to grow.

My girls have been dancing with Centre Stage for more than 10 years and love the studio. They have developed friendships that will last a lifetime. They learn not only technique but how to work hard (in all aspects of their lives). The Nutcracker production is one of our favorite Christmas traditions and we look forward to it every year!

We absolutely love Center Stage! I have 2 daughters that have danced at different studios before I moved them over. I love that they have a store where I can grab dance gear.The staff and teachers are AMAZING!!! My girls have had the best dance experience and looked forward to their dance days every week! Jennifer and Melissa are the BEST! They know their stuff and hold kids to a high standard. They also genuinely care about them. The older girls also help teach the younger girls. My daughter loves watching them preform and looks up to them so much!I recommend this studio to everyone and I’m proud my family gets to be apart of the Center Stage family!

My daughters have danced with Centre Stage for over a decade and I’m always impressed with the time and dedication they pour into their students. They’re organized and thorough. Along with learning beautiful technique & performing skills, my girls have learned many life lessons, built confidence and made friendships. When you dance at Centre Stage, you become part of a dance family. We’re lucky to have such a quality studio in our small town!

Incredible talent found at every level of this studio. From the technique and artistry to the music selections, choreography and costumes. I’m delighted and amazed every time I see their dancers perform! I’ve seen lots of dancers across various states and this local group is exceptional! I would definitely recommend this group to young ladies that want to learn about discipline, friendship, fun and the arts! Hands down a good choice for any budding dancer to try out! If you haven’t been to their Nutcracker and spring ballet or showcases you’re missing out!

My daughter has been dancing at Centre Stage since she was 3 years old and she loves it! The girls learn a variety of dance styles. They work very hard and become close as a team. Jennifer and Melissa are great teachers, my daughter enjoys learning from both of them. Center Stage preforms The Nutcracker every year, it has become a wonderful Christmas tradition we look forward to!

I've been filming music and dance recitals, plays and other events for the past 15 years professionally. I can say without hesitation that the Centre Stage Dance Studio is my favorite group to work with. In short, they don't waste my time and the dancers at this studio are the best in the area that I have seen.The dancers are well behaved and disciplined. When they have a rehearsal, they start on time, are obviously well prepared, and execute the rehearsal efficiently. To say the staff is "strict" is a mischaracterization. They encourage dancers to be their best and give them the tools and teaching to make it happen. I can always spot a Centre Stage dancer because they are "next level" performers.If you want to learn how to dance well and have fun doing it, this is the place to go. If you don't believe me, come to one of their performances!

I danced for CENTRE STAGE for 15 years!! I came back after college and taught there until I had my son. It was my second home and I grew so much as a person there. Jennifer is still one of my best friends. She taught me a lot of life lessons as well as pushed me to do & be my best! I was the best dancer I could be because of her example & I will never forget the memories I made there.My daughter is dancing there now and we love it! It's the best atmosphere and you grow so much as a person! I've made so many lifelong friends at CENTRE stage! It's a great studio!

Which is more important? Self esteem or being the best? For most girls at this studio it is one or the other, though there are of course some exceptions.My sisters and I danced and were involved in a lot of the administrative side of this studio, so we saw and heard a lot over the course of 15 years.This studio is the best in the area as far as teaching technique and winning competitions. So if you want to go far with your dancing career this may be the studio for you!Consider this a warning though, the owner is very strict. If your personal grooming and physical features (height, weight) aren’t what she wants she will let you know- I’ve seen her do this both privately and in front of other people.I’ve talked with numerous dancers besides my family and a lot have low self esteem because of this studio.As I said earlier, though, there are also dancers who love it here.
