One thank you is not nearly enough for all that my staff does. You spend countless hours both in and out of the studio putting so much work and love into everything you do, and I appreciate it more than you know.

I cannot believe that your journey with Center Stage has come to an end. It has been a joy to watch you grow into the confident dancers and people that you are today. You are all such bright lights and strong individuals, and I hope that you never let anyone dull your shine. I will always appreciate the mark you’ve all left on the studio. Thank you for the laughs, the fun, and the joy you’ve brought all of our students and staff over the years. We will all miss having you around. Please come visit, and we all wish you nothing but success and happiness in the years to come.
Love you always, xx Miss Amanda
Congratulations to our 2024-2025 competitive team for exceeding all possible expectations I’ve had for each and every one of you. I’m so proud to have shared the past year with you and watch you grow as dancers and people throughout this process. A special thank you to all of our competition parents and supporters — thank you for investing your time, supporting the team, and being such a valuable part of our growing dance family. I love all of you!!
Thank you to Robert Whalen for being our in-house studio handy-man and to the Castagliola family for lending a huge helping hand during our busiest season.
Thank you to Diane Trimarchi for running backstage like the professional you are and for never missing one recital in 12 years!
A final thank you to my husband, Zach, my incredible mom, my sisters, Miss Kristen and Miss Jessie, my uncle Nick, my in-laws, and my dad looking down from above. You are all always amazing support and help, and the studio wouldn’t be anywhere near where it is today without you. I love you all very much!
