Danspace was founded in 1979 by Beth Hoge, a professional dancer in New York with a vision for a school that would offer classical ballet training without the strain on the body. The school opened with adult ballet and pre-ballet for six year olds, with a children's division and creative movement added shortly after. In 1985, Danspace moved to its current location in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood. Danspace continues to offer an enjoyable learning experience in a supportive environment, with a focus on the individual. The school's teaching staff are committed to providing a safe and encouraging environment for progress. All classes are based on the Corvino approach, with an emphasis on technique, musicality, artistry, and the development of strength and flexibility.

Center Stage is a locally owned and operated dance studio located in the heart of Springboro, OH. Tammy Longworth the studio director had a dream at the age of 16 to open a dance studio, and with the support of her mom and co-owner Beckie Harding, Tammy was able to open the doors to Center Stage in 1983. Center Stage was first opening in Waynesville, OH and later moved to Springboro. We are so excited to be moving into our new facility at the Springboro Performing Arts Center (PAC). With this new facility we will be able to provide our community with dance education, dance competition teams, and several performances throughout the year. We pride ourselves by helping children of all ages and stages of life create, achieve, and explore through the art of dance.
