THE CENTER School of Performing Arts in English STUDIO 1

The first time I stepped into the Center, my daughter was just a few months old and we joined the Baby music group. Not only was the teacher fantastic but those other Mothers would become my lifelong friends. Flash forward a couple of years and we returned when my daughter (now 3) wanted to start Ballet. So, we began and right away, she loved her teacher and loved going to her class. Then she wanted to add Musical Theater - so we did and again, she loves it. As for me, I have made new friends that I will cherish in my life yet again through the Center. I really think this is because the Center allows for conversation between Parents and allows the Kids (and I'm sure Adults as well) to learn at their pace while still making sure that they are trying and having a great time. It's always been a happy place for me in Berlin and I do hope that you will find it to be the same!

I started learning ballet in the studio. Lovely atmosphere and great teachers. There's also an offer that is quite rare - to start ballet from scratch with assumption of no knowledge. For me it was super nice.

We have had such a pleasant time at The Centre Berlin. All the instructors are excellent, skilled, creative and talented and more so really warm and affectionate. My daughter started when she was 3 year old and settled very well since the instructors ( Veronica, Jemma, Maurice, Courtney) were very welcoming and truly engaging. We started with one class and moved to 3, that's how delightful the experience was. The way all of them beautifully integerate each and every child and their needs is amazing.We wish we could have stayed longer unfortunately it's time to move to our homeland.It's been so relaxing for me to leave my daughter and have some fun time with the fantastic friends that I made with other mother's.I would recommend it to anyone. Just go there and am sure both you and your kid will have a blast for sure.Most importantly I would congratulate Martina for creating this beautiful space.truly appreciate the hardwork that she puts in to maintain.

My daughter attend the ballet class. She learned a lot and had playful session every Saturday!

Having been through a variety of children's performance schools in the US--on both the east and west coasts--I was pleasantly surprised by The Center's caring interest in my child, over and above the very fair fees they charged. If anything, I felt compelled to urge them to charge more so as to afford a larger space they were looking into. The teachers are cheerful and enthusiastic, the administration pleasant to deal with, and my daughter always left in an upbeat mood, eager to share what she had learned. Terrific place.

Muy buen centro. Tengo una hija en Ballet y una en Gimnasia. Las profesoras son muy amables, el centro muy cómodo. Tienen clases para todas las edades y en grupos relativamente pequeños.Estamos encantados y seguiremos yendo.

Моя трехлетняя дочь ходит уже полгода в „The Center“ на уроки балета. Нам обеим очень нравится сюда ездить. Пока с моей дочерью в игровой форме занимаются преподаватели/хореографы, я наслаждаюсь вкусным кофе в уютном кафе за углом, или брожу по красивым улочкам пренцлауер берга.На уроках есть дресс-код, специальные балетные боди, но можно и приходить в другой одежде. Занятия проходят на английском языке. Два в одном, и балет и Английский. Цена на мой взгляд адекватная.

My ballet classes with Brittany is one of the bright of my week. I am always looking forward to these moment of work in such a happy and empowering atmosphere.As adult, I was afraid to start ballet, I thought that it would be too late for me to learn anything or even progress. How wrong was I! The different teachers I had, and especially Brittany, always made me feel welcome, seen, and supported. They make sure you have a good time, but leave the class having learnt something and make some progress. And what I particularly like is that they really pay attention that you learn properly and don't develop bad habits that could be harmful for your body.I recommend this place to any adult wanting to learn new dance, and would be afraid to start as adult: there, you will feel at home!On the Studio 1 itself: it is well located (between several public transportation stops). The beautiful wood floor is a bit uneven unfortunately. But nothing really problematic.
