About Us
Here at Brooklyn CenterStage our philosophy is to empower each dancer with strong technique while we celebrate his or her own individuality. BCS trains dancers of all ages and abilities, and embraces dance in all its forms from ballet to tap, jazz, modern, musical theater and hip hop. Whether you plan to pursue dance as a profession or you simply love to dance for recreation, our dynamic faculty creates a nurturing environment filled with passion, respect and inspiration. We love to see creativity flourish and are devoted to an atmosphere infused with positive energy and fun!
As lifelong dancers, we have decades of professional performance, choreography and teaching experience. We are thrilled to have Brooklyn CenterStage Dance Studio and look forward to meeting you and welcoming your family to our home.
Please stop by our lovely studio, located at 495 3rd Avenue at 11th Street, where Park Slope and Gowanus meet.
