HUNTLEY – Center Stage Dance Academy is growing by jetés and bounds.

The Huntley studio recently expanded its space by 5,000 square feet – doubling in size. The expansion made room for a team locker room, private office space, additional storage space, more rest rooms and a fourth state-of-the-art dance studio.

Studio director and owner Debbie Nowotnik began her dance program with only 20 students. She moved to 10631 Wolf Drive in Huntley in 2008. At that time, her studio was 2,500 square feet with 185 students. Today, Center Stage has 10,000 square feet of space, 370 students and 11 instructors.
