About the School
Now celebrating 44 years, Center Stage Dance Studio continues to be a place where generations of families come together through the love of dance. Many of our former dancers now return with their own children - and even grandchildren - creating lifelong traditions and memories within the same welcoming, family-centered atmosphere that has defined CSDS for decades. We are proud to be more than just a dance studio; we are a second home to so many.
​
As we look ahead to an exciting new chapter, CSDS will be relocating on July 1, 2026 to a beautifully renovated, 5000-square foot facility conveniently located at 5885 Transit Road, in East Amherst, directly across from Transit Middle School and DoodleBugs. Our new home will feature four spacious studios, a large parking lot for easy access, and brand-new dynamic class offering designed for our youngest dancers and families.​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​While our location is changing, our commitment to quality dance education and a positive studio experience remains stronger than ever. Each studio will feature professional sprung hardwood floors to support dancer safety and performance, along with mirrored walls, barres, and state-of-the-art sound systems that create an inspiring environment for dancers of all ages and skill levels.​
​​​
For 44 years, Center Stage has blended tradition, passion, and community with growth and innovation. We cannot wait to welcome both familiar and new faces into this exciting new space as we continue creating memories, building confidence, and sharing the joy of dance for generations to come.
