Highly recommend The Stage for adults who would like to exercise in a fun way and not go to the gym, or to send your children to learn and grow in dance.

The Stage Dance School is dedicated to bringing the highest level of classical ballet training to Greenville and Laurens counties. It is our goal to educate both children and adults about the training, culture and history of classical ballet while offering them a chance to pursue the art in whatever capacity they choose.

Based on the Vaganova Syllabus, SDS teaches in the same tradition that trained Baryshnikov, Makarova, Neureyev, and countless other famous Russian Dancers. Known for the beautiful way dancers use their head and arms, the Vaganova method is the preferred training system for schools around the world.

It is our hope that every student that walks through our doors will come to both love and respect the art of ballet, to increase their sense of self worth, and to gain a deeper knowledge and respect about the world around them. We strive to offer our students an environment that is both caring and disciplined with special attention given to the individual needs of each and every student.

Classes online with Ballet Master from Russia are available. please inquire.
