At The Center, children spin stories from movement using classical and modern dance techniques. Sister duo Ashley and Caddy Carlisle combine their years of dance training in the Pioneer Valley, New York City, and Montreal with a special approach to teaching that gets kids reading, writing and dancing; connecting, collaborating and creating. It’s a holistic approach to dance. In classes geared to children and teens of all ages, kids combine elements of what they imagine with what they observe to create movement that is inventive, entertaining, and deeply satisfying. The Center. Where we’re not just spinning, we’re spinning stories.
We love Center Dance! My daughter has been doing classes since she was 18 months and we just signed up for 2 more. Ashley is a wonderful teacher and really takes the time to listen to each child and get on their level. Can’t wait for more classes to come!
My child has done 3 different camps this summer and he seems happiest by far at center dance!
The class itself was lovely, but too "old" for my granddaughter. The ladies were very quick to reply to me when inquiring about the class, but it has now been 2 weeks waiting for a reply on a refund for the class.
I love center dance! The teachers are wonderful, the administrators are great, and the classes are great. My 6 year old Emma has attended 3 classes so far and all were peak experiences for her. To top it all off she has made some great new friends. I would give 10 stars if I could
We love the Center Dance so much! The week before classes start my daughter asks me every day if this is the day she gets to go to dance class 😊
