meet OUR TEAM
At Centre Stage we have over 20 staff members. We believe it is important to share the same code of ethics, and that our expectations of classes and students are consistent with each other. This way children can feel comfortable in which ever class they are doing with any teacher. Teachers share training courses together, team building experiences, and all of us feel that Centre Stage is our home away from home.
Owner & Principal
Dancing since the age of 5, Taryn has lived and breathed all things dance. After training in Perth, at the age of 18 she broadened her horizons and went to dance internationally. This is where she gained immeasurable knowledge of dance at a professional level. After 2 seasons abroad, she was ready to settle in Perth as her dream was always to have a home and raise a family. After marrying her husband, they went on to have 3 beautiful daughters.
Taryn also spent 3 years working in the travel industry – another big passion of hers. Whilst doing so, Taryn continued teaching dance at another Perth school as well as keeping her training up to date. She then decided whilst studying for her Full Teachers Diploma in Dance, that she would like to have her own dance school as this is where she could see herself for years to come.
“I have been blessed to carry on my love and passion for dance, creating a loving, nurturing, family environment at Centre Stage. My studio is a place where children can make friendships, learn life skills, such as good sportsmanship and team work, all whilst learning to dance. It’s a home away from home for my daughters as well as many of my students. My teachers all adopt a loving approach and stress the importance of balance in a child’s life.”
Studio Manager
Tanaye has been dancing since she was 4 years old, and has been at Centre Stage for over 15 years. Tanaye has been participating in CSTD exams since she was 6 years old, and has now completed her Full Teachers Diploma in CSTD Modern Jazz. She is also certified in the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, both module 1 and 2.
“I have been very lucky to have travelled twice to America with our wonderful dance school and performed in some amazing places including Disneyland, Universal Studios and on Hollywood Boulevard!”
Her goal at Centre Stage is to spread her love of dance to the next generation, and hope that they too can experience all the amazing things that come with being part of a dance school. “For me, Centre Stage was so much more than just dancing, it has been a place where I have made lifelong friends, learnt the value of commitment and been free to be who I am all at the same time”

"After researching we carefully chose Centre Stage Malaga as the dance school for our girls. We were looking for a dance place that was relaxed and child focused. Centre Stage has provided a comfortable space for my girls addressing their individual needs. Both girls have different personalities and different ways of learning and this dance studio focuses on their strengths, enabling them to dance to their potential in a nurturing environment that helps them grow in many ways. My 6 YO is more confident within herself. The dance teachers connect with the kids enhancing their potential. A special mention to Avril and Jasmine who have been a major part of our girls dancing journey. The business is run well and class availability is suited to all busy parents schedule and children needs.
Well done Centre Stage you will always be recommended by us and the dance studio of choice."

"Our children have been going to Centre Stage for years. We love how inclusive Centre Stage is and how they are accommodating to those who don't always fit the box. The encouragement and safe space they create makes even the most shy child come out of their shell. The teachers all share the same values."
