I cant say say enough about Center Stage! The director and staff are beyond amazing! They truly love their dancers and gymnast. I couldnt have picked a better dance studio to introduce my tiny tot to dance. We are entering our second year and look forward to many many more with this awesome studio!

My daughter is pretty low key and soft spoken UNTIL she hears music, sees a camera, or has room to flip and dance! Thanks to Natasha Smith Dargin and Center Stage Dance and Gymnastics Co. for inspiring this beast of an alter ego. My daughter is now confident, self motivated, and empowered to be the best she can be. If you are looking for a studio for your child for recreation or competitive, you should definitely try them out.

Awesome school! My sister referred me to Center Stage Dance & gymnastics because her daughter competed again Center Stage and she was telling me how awesome their dancers were and she had heard good things about the owner of the school. She told me that she thought it was close to my house, which it was. So, I took my niece to Center Stage and my niece is loving her experience. The staff is so nice and friendly. The owner is super caring and loving with the kids. When I see her walking through the school you can tell she truly loves what she is doing.

Thank you Center Stage for an outstanding 1st year of gymnastics. We truly enjoyed our 1st year with Center Stage with the hopes of many more years to come. A personal thank you for being so informative to all parents with your communication updates. We have truly found our gymnastics home. Your recital was amazing, definitely not a typical boring dance recital!!!!

Center Stage is a great studio. Teachers are awesome and patient with the kids. The 10 year celebration was awesome and I was glad to be a part of it. My daughter has been a recreational student for 10 years and was a 6 year competitive student. Always on time to class! She has taken dance classes (Tu Tu Cute, Pinkerina, Shining Stars, Rising Stars, Center Stage), gymnastics, contemporary classes! Teachers often call upon her to recall choreography in classes to assist. She worked her way up in every class. She has participated in special events-parades, competitions, lock-ins, etc. along with being an honor roll student in school and a chamber orchestra student. She was selected as a scholarship recipient this year and it was WELL DESERVED! Why would she not deserve it after all her accomplishments with Center Stage. I have been a VOLUNTEER PARENT for the past 10 years at Center Stage and I volunteered because I loved the studio and the dance environment. There have been countless other volunteer parents whose daughters have received the same scholarship. Center Stage has been a healthy recreation for my daughter and for someone to reference that she is not deserving is completely out of line. Recital has always been optional to parents-no one is forced to do anything beyond recreational classes. If you want to make memories and have memorable moments with your daughter, become a part of Center Stage!

Been dancing here for five years and love it!! Now that I’ve joined company, I get to know a lot more girls from the studio and become friends. I basically live here now and the director is amazing!!!

I was baffled reading Eva Hernandez and She Wolfs, negative feedback. That I had to write a review myself. My child has been a dancer and gymnast of Center Stage for 3 years. The staff and owner have always been pleasant to me and my child. They have multiple bilingual staff members to help with spanish native speakers. Recital is optional and not mandatory. Yes I agree dance is not cheap, but parents have to take into consideration that it is a luxury to have your kids in multiple outside school activities that cost. The recital show that is put on every year is a phenomenal one, and worth every penny. Great studio! Highly recommend!

My daughter has danced at this facility for 4 years now. Staff is always friendly and the owner is very nurturing with all the children. The recital has always been optional, and Ive never once felt forced to do recital. During holidays when the studio is closed there are make-up classes during the months of April, May, and June, including additional practices for no additional charge. All information regarding classes, holidays, parade, recital and raffle fundraiser are presented to each parent upon enrolling for the Fall season via email. Parents who do not read emails will never know whats going on with their child. I would recommend this studio to anyone who has children for them to develop wonderful experiences as they grow.

My niece has been going to CSDG for 2 years. This place is awesome the girls love it and are constantly asking when is it time to go back. CSDG celebrated its 10 year anniversary and it was one totally awesome show. I cant wait to see how my girls grow here. Looking forward to many more years.

This is our 2nd year at Center Stage and it has truly become a 2nd home to my daughter. The teachers are great with the kids. Recitals are very nice. I truly love as a parent a fee sheet schedule with optional events is given to you upon registration. Nothing is a surprise, you know how much it is to participate in each event. The communication is great via email and text messages. High highly recommend Center Stage!

My daughter moved to this studio after we had a not so good experience at another dance studio in our area. I knew the very first classes we had that we would love it here! The director is such a loving teacher and connects so well with her girls and loves them as her own! My daughter is going on four years at Center Stage and not only has she grown to be such a great dance but also very determined and structured in a lot of ways! She is going on three years on the dance competition team and we love it! All the staff is friendly and we are very well informed about all activities going on at our studio. We cant wait for our new home as they are recently expanding because YES...there are that many girls here! Who all obviously love the studio and their dance teachers, hence the new studio being built! We definitely recommend Center Stage Dance & Gymnastics!

Poorly treated when we went there ! when i tried to speak to the front lady a different language since my first language isn’t english , nobody knew only 1 person , when my daughter asked if a staff member if she could do a cartwheel she commented “no” and gave her a smug look. It’s very expensive to take my daughter there and when she was there she only danced the recital dance nothing else . Never helped the kids stuggling with tumbling . During the recital my daughter had to learn the last part in only 10 min ! And the recital is not optional , i was forced to buy my daughter the costume or else she was going to be left out.

I have been with centerstage for 2 years and this year was my first year participating in recital. We won’t be returning after this year. The company over charges you for everything. Costumes take for ever to come in but they are quick to take your money. For one holiday out of the week they are out the entire week. But still you must pay a full month regardless of the holiday. When you miss a class they say you can make up the day but even then when you show up for a missed day of practice they tell you it’s a different class/course or what ever other excuse they may have. During practice they focus on girls that are on the competitive teams or way advanced. Costumes are outrageous a centerstage t-shirt is $20 and a sweater $50 which you have to have if you have your children in the parade and want to walk along side your obligated to buy and wear the sweater. The recital was a first for me this year, it is 4 hours long for small children that is insane. The entire recital show had two dance for gymnastics and tots and the rest of the 3 and half hours you sit in you watch the competitive team only. And then of course the owners entire background with way to much information to share. Scholarships are given out to her partner’s daughter and one other individual that actually deserves it. We did not have the pink lady outfit for the show so they said the centerstage shirt and jazz pants are ok and they will be in the dance no matter what. What they failed to tell us is that kids who don’t have the pink lady outfit will be in the back of the stage regardless of their size and age. Mine was (3) we could not see her at all so we went to a 4 hour show to watch my daughter once. And the recital tickets are $20 again crazy expensive for one dance. And then there was the mandatory raffle tickets you had to sell. If you did not sell these tickets you had to pay a fee of $20 (“fundraising”) enforced. So we won’t be returning after two years I wish I was more aware of all these things before we invested 2 years in this company. Also the owner of the company is never and I mean never there. Just there to collect her check and that is all.

My daughter is a student at Center Stage Dance and Gymnastics. The level of professionalism displayed by the director, teachers, and staff is amazing. This is our 5th season here, prior to, we attended another studio that focused the entire year on recital routines; here the students are taught technique, term, etc. My daughter has excelled tremendously here. Recitals are productions, the studio put on a great show annually. I cant forget to mention their award winning competition team, those routines are a must see!!! They are true to their motto Every dancer has a moment in the spotlight. If youre looking for a dance studio in the Houston/Katy area, I highly recommend Center Stage Dance & Gymnastics.Signed,A SATISFIED DANCE MOM

We love Center Stage! Left a different studio due to distance and came to Center Stage. It has been an amazing experience! The staff is very helpful and nurturing to the kids.

We are very satisfied with Center Stage. They are focused and have a passion a bout dance entertainment. Look forward to a long term relationship with them. My daughter has really grown in the area of dance since attending Center Stage. We are really excited and astonished to see our daughter only 8 months dancing with Center Stage.

My daughter started going there. But did not like it at all. They have favoritism with their students, their classes were packed. Like another review said,the staff was not friendly. Never saw them interact with my daughter. We stopped going 3 months ago and have not received a single phone call checking up on my daughter. Or asking why she has not attended class. They probably havent even notice she no longer goes there. But yet they send me an email charging me tuition fee for all

If you want your child to go here be ready to spend alot of money. What you pay per month is not worth it. There was always studio closures they offer makeup days on Mondays at 5 I dont get home until 6:30 and always something to pay for mandatory raffles, costumes, fees after fees and the excuse that they give that its optional is not a reasonable one maybe they should offer a class that is just teaching them gymnastics instead of entering them in recitals and activites that cost parents more money. We feel obligated to have to pay, cause if we dont our child will be left out.

Center Stage is a very diverse and nuturing establishment. My daughter loves her teachers, and I love the quality of dance education she is receiving! The family environment of all the dancers is very welcoming.

Review №25

The teachers and staff are not very friendly or nurturing. I rarely saw smiles on their faces. In addition, the cost of participating in the recital is expensive ( over $500/yr). Parents must pay for T-shirts, mandatory fundraisers, recital fees, and 4 costumes if their child participates in a single ballet/tap/jazz combination class. The teachers emphasize learning the routines and dont focus on teaching the foundations of dance. Positives-the recital costumes are beautiful and the studio offers a variety of classes.

Worst studio ever!!! Worth 0 stars if anything. No one was welcoming, all the kids always try to show each other up, also the teachers make fun of the kid if they dont do something right. Waste of time and money, I left after a month.

Worst place ever. It is not an academy. It is more like a store, they want to make you pay for recitals and activities since the first day and buy costumes. Waste time on trying the customes during class time. Plus NO make up class are offered. During their recitals practices there are no classes, but the tution is charged in full. I will not recoment this place to anyone.

Center Stage is a second home for my family. My daughter has grown as a dancer and as a person bc of her experience at CSDG. From weekly classes to Company competitive dance, summer dance camps and parades she stays very busy . Im glad I was able to find a positive environment for my child . We love Center Stage!!!
