All Dancers Around The World Are Welcome!

 

During these difficult unprecedented times, Centre Stage Dance Challenge is hoping the Dance Community will be able to reconnect with each other (virtually) and get our sweat on with some amazing artists.  As we all face the unknown together, CSDC wants to not only give back to the dancers, but also help out the many artists whom can no longer do what they love to do with the new restrictions from the CDC pertaining to COVID-19.  With that in mind, we are asking for a $25.00 registration fee to be paid for three incredible hours of dancing. 

 

To save your spot, please e-mail info@csdancechallenge.com with the dancer's name and level they will be attending. 

 

Once payment has been received you will get the detailed links and passwords to join the virtual classes. Payment information will be given out once initial e-mail has been received.  Register early to avoid disappointment!
