The 2007-2008 Center Stage Dance Academy Competition Team, located in Canfield, has just completed their competition season winning several “Over-All” and “High Point” Awards.  The 41 members of the competition team dedicate several hours per week practicing through out the entire year.  The team is broken down into 5 divisions.  The “Tiny Tots” are the young dancers, ages 5 to 7.  The “Mini Team” consists of students ages 7 to 9.  The “Junior Team” is for students ages 10 to 12.  The “Senior Team” consists of students who are 13 years and older, and the “Dance Team” is for students ages 8 and up.
The team participates in several different community events each year including dance workshops, benefits, local parades, and dance competitions. Each year the team donates their time to raise money for “Dancing For Others,” which is a non-profit group that raises money for sick children and their families in our area.
In February, the “Senior Team” was honored to be able to perform a “Pre-Game” routine for the Cleveland Cavs Basketball Team at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. During the months of February and May, the team has also competed at the following dance competitions: Rising Star Dance Competition in Warren, Ohio.  Kids Artistic Revue, in Columbus, Ohio, and Star Bound Dance Competition in Youngstown, Ohio.
This past year, the competition team was awarded 45 “Over-All” Top Scoring Awards” and 14 “Special Judges Awards.”
