cheers yteoara! great

Believe in yourself, your parents, and your teachers. I have found that nothing is impossible; that happiness is in your own hands. Destiny isn't always what you plan. Expect the unexpected, and everything happens for a reason. I am so glad that so many wonderful students happened to me.

Farewell, Seniors!

Congratulations and farewell to our graduating seniors: Katherine Grace Brown and Meg Campbell. We wish you the best life has to offer and hope you will always remember the years spent at Center Stage. We will miss you dearly. The doors to the studio will always be open and your dance family will be here to celebrate all of your accomplishments. Appalachian State and Wake Forest are lucky to have you!

Katherine Grace Brown Katherine Grace is celebrating her 15th year dancing at Center Stage and her 11th year in the Center Stage Performing Company. She has performed in Moscow Ballet’s Nutcracker since she was little, attended the NYCDA Summer Dance Intensive in New York twice, as well as attending many conventions, nationals, and competitions. She is deeply grateful for all of the love and support that Miss Michele and the rest of the faculty at Center Stage have provided for her and she will miss them dearly when she leaves.

Katherine Grace graduates from TC Roberson High School in the top third of her class and is a member of the National Honors Society. In the fall, she will attend Appalachian State University where she will major in Psychology and hopes to become a member of the dance team.

Meg Campbell Meg has been dancing at Center Stage for 10 years and competed for the last five. Her favorite styles include ballet, jazz, and ballroom when she can take it at conventions. She has attended a summer jazz dance intensive at the University of South Carolina and a winter day intensive through UNCSA. She will graduate from Carolina Day School and attend Wake Forest University in the fall. She is going to miss her Center Stage family so much next year!
