Detroit Bound: Center Stage Competes at KAR!

Writer: Center StageCenter Stage

This past weekend, our full Company took the stage at Kids Artistic Revue in Detroit. From outstanding performances to incredible team spirit, our dancers showcased their dedication, talent, and love for dance.


Beyond the competition itself, the weekend was filled with moments of support and camaraderie. Our dancers lifted each other up, offering words of encouragement, sharing backstage laughs, and continuing to strengthen the bonds that make our team so special.


Center Stage took home several top awards and overall placements. We were honored to receive the Intermediate and Elite Studio of Excellence Awards, a testament to the commitment of our dancers and instructors. We are so proud of each and every performer who gave their all on stage!


A special congratulations to Kennedy Pfouts and Ivannah Butler, who were named our Company Dancers of the Weekend! Their effort and emotion on stage stood out, and they gave their best performances of the season. We are so proud of them!


Check out our video recap, photos, and results from the event!
