YOuth RecReatiOn

Are you looking to introduce your child to dance? Movement and rhythm comes naturally to kids and getting them involved in dance early gives them additional benefits. In addition to a great fitness workout, dance is a meaningful way for children to express themselves. It also teaches kids that diligent work pays off, instilling in them discipline and the value of teamwork in working towards a common goal.

We have something for every child, 6 months to 10 years old. Classes are held at Center Stage Dance Company and conclude with an end-of-session performance at Northville High School. Center Stage also has an in-house shoe and apparel store to outfit your little dancer.

Center Stage is located at 43334 Seven Mile Road, Suite 250 in the Northville Research Center (east of Northville Road, north side of Seven Mile). For more information contact the studio directly at 248-380-1666.
