Community
through dance.
Rooted in community, we welcome everyone in East Hawaiʻi—from keiki to kūpuna—to move, learn, create, and grow together through dance.
Six styles. Ages 4 and up.
Every level.
Ballet, hip hop, jazz, tap, contemporary, breaking, and more — for ages four to seventy-plus. Whether you're stepping into your very first class or have been dancing for years, there's a place for you here. Showcases are optional but encouraged.

Voices from the studio.
What Center Stage means to the dancers and families who walk through our doors.
Center Stage is a safe space for our community both young and old.
With the help of my teachers and classmates, I have found a safe space to blossom, and tell stories-- impacting various audiences.
We heart the openness and inclusion of folks from all walks of life and all differing levels of expression.
I'm part of a three generational family who attend multiple classes every week.
If you are looking to start dancing or are an expert dancer, Center Stage has classes for everyone.
Center Stage shares opportunities to both give and receive.
Serious about dance.
Serious about you.
Our team brings professional training, years of experience, and genuine care for every dancer who walks through our doors. This isn't a competition team — it's a studio where you can try everything or focus and excel in one style, and someone here can help.
Dance is for everyone.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on community support to fund scholarships, maintain our facilities, and keep high-quality arts education accessible in Hilo.
