The live experience
What reaches the room
Carousel Dance Studio presents Curtain Going Up, a licensed performer page representing a dynamic program led by a legacy in California dance education. Founded in 1984 by Karen Willes in West Hills/Canoga Park, Carousel Dance Studio has grown into a cornerstone of youth and student performance, offering a broad range of disciplines from Ballet and Jazz to Tap, Hip Hop, Musical Theatre, and Tumbling. While Curtain Going Up operates under a licensed title by Concord Theatricals, this page highlights the performing group’s lineage, achievements, and upcoming appearances.
