ABOUT CSSOD

Located in Mississauga, Center Stage School of Dance (CSSOD) has been proudly providing students with the excitement and enjoyment of dance since 1995.

We are proud to be a professional dance school with a staff of qualified, certified dance educators.

Students are provided with a number of performance opportunities including our annual Santa’s Brunch, Senior’s Showcase at Square One, and our year-end recital.
