A Place to Feel at Home

Dance should be joyful. We strive to create a fun, positive, and supportive environment where dancers feel welcome, inspired, and excited to return.

Kind Words

The Backstage experience,
in their words.

There's something special about a place where dancers feel encouraged to be themselves.

Our daughters have been dancing at Backstage Academy of Dance since the age of 3. Over the last 10 years dance has taught them discipline, responsibility and self esteem. These traits will be carried with them throughout life. We love Backstage and the instructors for all the time and effort they give to teaching dance. Our favorite time of year is being a part of the Nutcracker. Backstage is a great asset to our community!

Backstage Dance Family

I danced here my entire childhood from age four to in my twenties. I have gone on to choreograph professionally, win national awards, and have opened my own dance studio in Las Vegas, Nevada! None of this would be possible without the training I received from Kristi Garcia and her amazing faculty! Backstage is still my family to this day! I HIGHLY recommend you put your child at Backstage if you want a family friendly experience and outstanding dance education.
