About this studio
Center Stage Dance Company is in its 17th year of operation, located in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach at Fairfield Shopping Centre. The studio serves children from the youngest ages through older dancers, offering both recreational and competitive pathways.
The studio's teaching philosophy centres on instilling a love of dance first. As the website states: "Love Dance First, Learn it Second." Once children develop that passion, they're more willing to accept technique instruction and progress further. The team emphasises that dance requires the same commitment and work ethic as sports, teaching students to develop people skills, work as a team, become well-rounded citizens, and commit to their programmes.
Center Stage offers classes across multiple styles including ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, kid hop, musical theatre, breakdancing, and combo classes. The studio runs a competitive dance team and has achieved national recognition—their 2025 National Champions won in the tap routine category. While performance is encouraged through showcases and a holiday showcase, it is not mandatory for students.
The studio operates an online registration and payment system through a parent portal. Classes are age-appropriate, assigned once you enter your child's birthday into the system. Fall 2026 registration for new families begins Friday, July 17th, with classes starting September 10th. The studio does not use contracts; you can withdraw at any time if dance isn't the right fit. Quarterly newsletters keep families informed, with text alerts for urgent updates. A private Facebook group connects CSDC families with studio news and information.
