Centre Stage Inc. - Monrovia, California

Quite honestly there is just no place like CENTRE STAGE INC. The company is a 10/10 and its comes from the top down. Keely is an astoundingly good person, wonderful with kids, kind, calm, insanely hardworking, and provides more opportunity for her students than any other performing company I’ve ever come across. It’s a joy working for her, but even before that I had been coming to see shows of theirs since 2004! This is the place to be for your student artist, and it’s a decision you will not regret. Guaranteed.

I was a student at Centre Stage in my tween and teen years. I took voice, dance, and was in a performance troupe. It was one of the highlights of my childhood and I took the lessons I learned at Centre Stage into adulthood with me. Without Keely and the Centre Stage family, I don’t know that I would have become who I was meant to be.
I am now a nationally recognized author, motivational speaker, social media presence, and I’ve even recorded my own album. Centre Stage left a lasting impression on me. I thought I was learning how to sing and dance but really I was learning how to unabashedly and unapologetically be myself.

For all of these reasons I have enrolled my own children in Summer Camp this year and I already see the positive affect it’s having on all three of them. More confidence, more discipline, forming friendships, and learning how to take instruction along with a bit of corrective criticism.

My children are my greatest treasure and I am very protective over who I allow to influence them. The teachers and staff at Centre Stage are some of the best human beings I’ve ever met. Kind, selfless, gentle, and wise— your children won’t just be receiving instruction on how to perform their part in a musical, belt the best solo, or perfect a time step but they’ll be valued. They’ll be seen. They’ll be listened to. They'll be loved.

I cannot recommend Centre Stage enough. From attendee, and now Centre Stage parent, you’ve found the right group. Welcome home!

My son has been part of Centre Stage Inc. for 3 years and it is his happy place. He has learned so much and continues to learn. His confidence has grown because he can be himself. The staff and teachers are amazing! He has made good friends and felt welcomed by all from day one. Extremely grateful to be part of the Centre Stage family.

Being part of this community has been a tremendous blessing! Our kids love the classes, and the summer sessions are unforgettable, thanks to their kind and compassionate approach to teaching.

Centre Stage Inc. is not just a dance school , it's a musical theatre school, and I am so glad that we found this place for my kids! My daughter has been doing musical theatre @ Centre Stage Inc. for more than 6 years and my son is in his second year doing group vocal class with Centre Stage Inc. They learn vocal skill, dance and how to be a future Broadway star! Centre Stage runs 2-4 shows every year and for the past years, my kids are striving and building up their confidence during countless rehearsals, indoor and outdoor performances! Totally recommend Centre Stage to parents who have kids love singing, dance and perform!

In an effort to keep our 12 year old son busy during these crazy covid times. We decided to sign him up for numerous different online programs this summer. Centre Stage has been the best one of all. They are keeping him busy with numerous activities not just stage acting things. He is doing art projects, video editing, learning sign language and more. He is enjoying the activities and never complains about being bored or not having the supplies needed to complete a project. Everything we needed was included in the box we picked up from Keely at Centre Stage. Thank you to Keely at Centre Stage for putting together this great program.

I am so impressed with the virtual summer camp. My daughter is so engaged and eager for the start of each camp day. It is so well done and organized- not each day is the same. The masters classes are amazing and teachers have so much value to offer to the students. Three hours flies by for my daughter and I have to admit, it’s super fun listening to the singing and fun happening in the other room. Thank you, Centre Stage!

I am sitting here in quarantine, July 2020 so compelled to jump on here and write a quick review for Keely Milliken and Centre Stage Monrovia! During such a time as this my girls have needed their theater community more than ever! One would think that that wouldn’t be available with all of the shut downs. But Keely took it to another level! Not only have we stayed connected and consistent with their theater group she has really raised the bar! My girls are experiencing things that would have never been possible had it not been for lockdown. They are having master classes with people on Broadway, former Centre Stage students, directors in our area the list goes on and on not to mention they are still going to produce a show created all at home and put together by the amazing unparalleled Center Stage staff!!!! I cannot scream from the rooftops loud enough why you should have your children involved with this group! My girls’ best friends were made here, my girls’ visions for the future in theatre were made here, and my girls’ self-esteem & confidence is being fostered here! Run don’t walk to Centre Stage!!!!
