I recently switched to Center Stage from another dance school in the area. I have been pleasantly surprised with my child's experience. The school is very professional and although it quite large (much larger than my previous school) I feel very much a part of something special. The teachers and staff are very eager to assist my child and I. I am VERY happy to be at Center Stage.

You will not find a more professional dance and theatre school in New Jersey. The faculty is exceptional and very highly qualified. The facility is large and well maintained. If you are serious about dance and theatre for yourself or your child, this is the place to be.

too clicky. Also, the owner only cares about students who are superior and he can brag about. The rest of the students are of value only that they help him pay the rent.

Having been a competition dancer for all of my life, I've had quite alot interaction with center stage and all the students there. I, myself, do not attend center stage but I must give my greatest regards to the studio for both their amiability and talent. Center stage is definitely a top notch dance school with a group of lovely professional kids.

Center Stage Dance and Theatre School is by far the best studio in the area! The Faculty and Staff are all amazing, and always listen to requests from Parents and Students. I have learned so much during my time there, and wish I could go back and do it all over again. It was more like my home, then my house. I love Center Stage, and I always will!!!
Center Stage was more than just a dance school, it was my second family. From all the teachers, that taught me the key essentials that has made me the dancer I am today, to the shows, which never ceased to always have a strong focus on the performers, I can't say enough about how much I loved my experience at Center Stage. They guided me farther toward my career path, musical theatre, and I have Center Stage to thank for giving me the opportunity and the knowledge to understand that any person can become talented, with a little work and a ton of perseverance.

Only 5 stars?!? I would give a sky full!!! Center Stage is like a second home to me! The staff is extremely encouraging, professional, and warm. While having fun, I received top-notch training in Dance, Acting, and Voice. After graduating I felt prepared to go on to study the arts in college. I currently attend a Music Conservatory where I use the skills I learned at CS towards my degree. Without Center Stage I would be struggling to keep up with my major. I am driven and confident with my college studies because CS pushed me to be the best I could be. Just like any other after school activity I improved my social skills, appreciated teamwork, and developed discipline. Unlike other activities I was encouraged to take creative risks, appreciate art and cultures, and most importantly: become part of the CS family. Peace & LoveNikki Milbrod

Center Stage, if you are a serious enough student to meet its demands, will prepare you INTENSELY well for a career in dance, acting, musical theatre, and/or voice. Speaking from my own experiences, with the studio and the people that I consider great mentors and my second family, there was not a better place I could've spent the majority of my time while I was growing up. Now I am in a top 5 theatre conservatory and owe ALL of my success in where I am today to Center Stage. They not only teach you how to dance and act but they instill a sense of teamwork and maturity in their students. They care just as much as a parent, in all the important ways. Also, if you're looking for a studio in the sense of a fun hobby, they can accommodate that just as well with their teaching styles. The training is the best around. I would challenge you to find a greater, more comfortable environment to do what you love to do and still get pushed all the way to your limits of success on a daily basis.

Center Stage not only taught me how to sing, dance, and act but it also taught me valuable skills that I was able to apply to my life outside of performing- such as organization, reliability, and time management. Center Stage shaped me and my sisters into the people we are today. My only complaint is that I am not a student there now since the level of dancing and variety of classes seems to be getting better every year.
I used to dance at Center Stage, and it really is the best place for young artists to really hone their craft and figure out what type of performer they are. The staff are all very capable, talented, and creative when it comes to bringing out the most in their students. I recommend the Center Stage Dance school to anyone looking to enjoy the world of dance and bring their art to the next level

The dance training at Center Stage is highly professional. I studied jazz, tap, and ballet here, and I had great experiences with all the teachers. If you are looking for serious training or just wanting to have a lot of fun, sweat a lot, and learn awesome dance routines, Center Stage is the place to go.

I received acting and dance training at Center Stage from 7th through 12 grade. It was here that I was first exposed to acting and realized it was my dream to pursue a career in it. The acting teacher Stephen was encouraging, supportive, and pushed me to overcome my shyness, insecurity, and awkwardness on stage. His acting classes gave me confidence and a place I felt I belonged. To have a place I could go to where I would be accepted no matter what, was vital to me. Today I am a professional actor, with many commercial, film, theater and television credits, and I have Center Stage to thank.

I spent my entire childhood and teenage years taking theatre and all types of dance classes here. Center Stage shaped who I am today, and I couldn't have asked for anything more.
Center Stage Dance and Theater School is the best dance school in the Central Jersey area. They bring in new up and coming teachers from New York and produce many students that continue to succeed in the performing arts after they graduate. I know this from first hand experience and Center Stage has become more than a dance institution to me, but a Family. There goal is for kids to have fun while at the same time get professional training that can help them thrive in the dance profession. Not only do they have the best dance training by far but they also offer classes in Acting, Voice, and Musical theater. This is yet another area that they treat very professionally and produce many students that go on to excel in these areas of performance in College and the professional world.Center Stage is a great place to take your kids if you want them to make friends, build discipline and character, Create goals and reach them, and most of all have a great time and experience.

Center Stage is where I have grown up and have developed myself into the greatest dancer,actress and singer I could be. I have learned so much from all of the faculty and the support is just so encouraging. There is no better place than Center Stage. It has truly inspired me for the rest of my life and I absolutely love the time I spend there.

The best studio in New Jersey for Acting/Dancing training. The students that are really dedicated to the arts come out of Center Stage prepared for the real world and get work. They create a second home for many of their students. I owe Center Stage my love for the performing arts and for giving me great training and an amazing foundation to build and grow from.
