Stagelights Performing Arts Center

My daughter ABSOLUTELY LOVES Stagelights! (As do I) The variety of classes taught by talented dancers and performers allows my daughter to work towards mastering techniques and reaching personal goals. From the teachers to the owner Mrs. Lisa, you are always greeted with warm smiles and excitement. Participating in a trial class last year was one of the best decisions we made. My daughter enjoys Musical Theater, singing, and dancing and has found her voice and confidence at Stagelights, her home away from home. Thank you for being an inclusive, motivated, and encouraging atmosphere for my child to thrive on stage and off.

I am so impressed with Stagelights Performing Arts Center! So much than an ordinary dance school, Stagelights offers top notch professional training in dance, voice and acting for aspiring performing artists. Students are afforded many performance opportunities throughout the year, from vocal ensembles, mini-musicals, the year- end recital, and a yearly fully staged musical. (If you missed last year's "A Chorus Line", you missed out.) This year, several students were selected by the Broadway Youth Alliance for participation in its summer intensive camp program, and others have been admitted to top rated college dance programs and highly selective high school vocal programs. Classes are conducted in a loving, supportive, nurturing environment which fosters creativity and bolsters confidence among the students, while requiring students and parent alike to adhere to a professional code of conduct. Lisa Ferlita, founder and creative director, is, herself, a highly trained dancer, singer and actor who has worked professionally and willingly shares her invaluable talent and experience with her treasured students. Lisa is also the founder of Broadway Magic Foundation which affords scholarships to needy students, as well as implementing a Special Needs class in which all students receive fully scholarships. Seeing these special needs kids perform on stage in last year's recital with such confidence and pure joy is a testament to Lisa's vision, passion and love of the arts. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Thank you, Miss Lisa!

My daughter has been with Stagelights for 7 years. She has taken all genres of dance as well as voice and acting lessons. My daughter has blossomed here. Owner Lisa Ferlita and her team are committed to seeing her students grow artistically and they really have the ability to bring out their best. We love being part of a studio that is focused on dance as well as the voice and acting components. Stagelights goes the extra mile to help students beyond the classroom with audition preparation, college pre-screen choreography, and much more. My daughter has become a true "triple threat" (dance, voice, act) as a result of her training here.

My daughter has found a dance home, as well as a place full of supporting instructors and awesome friendships. At Stagelights, your child will have the opportunity to LOVE dance. It’s not just about being competitive or the best, bur rather falling in love with an art form and finding your unique strengths. My daughter has blossomed in her skills with dance as well as voice lessons, and I have watched her self-confidence grow as well. It’s a wonderful place to be!

Stagelights is the BEST kept secret around! Lisa is a cut above, and all of the staff is incredibly talented and passionate about the performing arts. My daughter has been dancing, acting, and taking voice with Lisa for years. She has a knack for highlighting each student’s talent and turning them into a star! Take a chance on this hidden gem, you won’t be disappointed.
