Our studio has been in existence since 1976.
We started under the name of Dance-Arts School in the VFW Hall located on Hiland
Avenue in Burley. In 1999, we were able to purchase property on Oakley Avenue and
turned the building into three studios, a store, a lobby, a dressing room with two
bathrooms and a nursery and teachers lounge.
In 1997, our daughter, Jessica opened up a studio in Nampa, Idaho
and we decided to name our studios Centre Stage Studios of Dance and Performing
Arts and we operated both studios from 1997 until May 2010. Due to moving to
Utah and a new baby, Jessica decided to sell the Nampa Centre Stage Studios and
do freelance choreography.
Jessica is currently teaching at The Pointe Academy. Centre Stage Studios, Burley and The Pointe
have formed a liason to allow Centre Stage students the opportunity to attend
many of the workshops The Pointe Academy offers. The Pointe Academy is also the
home base of the famous Odyssey Dance Theatre.
Burley Centre Stage will continue to teach students eager to pursue
their talent in dance education. We provide quality instructors who care a great
deal about their students. We teach everyone from beginners to advanced ages 3-18.
While we realize that not all our students will pursue a career in dance,
we believe that each and every student will benefit from the discipline of taking
dance classes and being on a team performing and competing. Besides developing a
talent, these students will learn life lessons that will help them in any of their
future endeavors.
