Springboro Performing Arts Center and home to Center Stage Academy of the Arts

About Us

Center Stage is a locally owned and operated dance studio located in the heart of Springboro, OH. Tammy Longworth the studio director had a dream at the age of 16 to open a dance studio, and with the support of her mom and co-owner Beckie Harding, Tammy was able to open the doors to Center Stage in 1983. Center Stage was first opening in Waynesville, OH and later moved to Springboro. We are so excited to now be located at the Springboro Performing Arts Center (PAC). With this new facility we are able to provide our community with dance education, dance competition teams, and several performances throughout the year.

We pride ourselves by helping children of all ages and stages of life create, achieve, and explore through the art of dance.

The Center Stage Experience

Monthly Student Progress Reports

At Center Stage we are so excited to offer monthly progress reports for each of our classes. We have specific goals and techniques students will work on in each of our class curriculum, and we will be offering a monthly update to students and parents to show the progress throughout the season. These will be completed by the instructors and provided to the parents and students on a monthly basis. We feel this is a great way to track all that students will learn in their classes throughout the year.

Instructors

At Center Stage all of our instructors are either bringing 30+ years of dance experience to their classes, have obtained their Bachelors of Fine Art in Dance, or are currently working on obtaining their Bachelors of Fine Art in Dance. We pride ourselves in employing working industry professional as instructors for all of our classes.

Winter and Spring Shows

At Center Stage our students get to perform in a winter show, as well as, our Spring Recital. We love getting to offer our students multiple performance opportunities throughout the season.
