We cannot say enough great things about Forte. We’ve been at Forte for four years now, starting out in their Roos and Joey’s mom and me class, and now our daughter is on their Debut Competitive team. The faculty is wonderful. They take the time to get to know each student and figure out what method of teaching works best for them. The older experienced dancers who assist in the younger classes have been fantastic role models for our daughter, as have the teachers. Its been awesome watching our daughter set goals and develop self confidence with the help of the teachers and demonstrators. The studio itself is such a welcoming place. You are greeted by name when you arrive, which cannot be easy with the amount of dancers coming through each day. The waiting room area is clean, has four tv screens so you can watch your child in class and a kiddie area with books, toys and coloring supplies, which I find so helpful on days when we bring our son. Overall we love being part of the Forte Family, the teachers, owners, and experiences we’ve had there have gone above and beyond our expectations. And we cannot wait to see what our 5th year has in store.

As an adult it is necessary for me to keep moving but in a way that makes me forget I am working out. I found exactly what I was looking for at Forte Academy of Dance. They offer many adult classes and the teachers are absolutely fabulous. If you are reading this and you think you would feel silly dancing past the age of 30, well you are wrong. There are always plenty of other adult students in the class. All are welcoming and fun. Our costumes are always classy and age appropriate. The dances are choreographed to show the best of the groups abilities. This doesnt mean that the classes are easy, we have to work hard to "work it" during recital!! My teenage son is also a dancer at the studio and has built a great relationship with many of the students. I appreciate that this studio has a no-bullying policy. At no time has my son ever been embarrassed or shamed being a dancer. In fact, last year, he had the opportunity to join the football team for the school but passed because it conflicted with his dance schedule. The teachers are doing it right at Forte Academy of Dance!!

Forte is the the BEST studio around! My daughter has been taking classes at Forte Academy of Dance for the last 4 years. The teachers and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They know what it takes to bring out the best in their students. Lauren and Devon are AMAZING role models. They have helped my daughter become a beautiful confident dancer. I am so thankful we found this studio. The studio is clean and welcoming to the dancers and their famlies. In addition, the studio has a safe environment for my daughter to dance. They offer classes in most dance styles with a convenient class schedule. Our family loves Forte and would recommend the studio to anyone.

We have been at Forte for four years. The studio is welcoming, friendly, and professional. The owners’ passion for dance is evident in their students’ dedication and performance. The recitals each year are such a joy to watch - from the adorable preschoolers to the talented teens and adults, each dance skillfully (and age appropriately) choreographed to showcase the dancers’ talents and strengths. As a family, we have experience with the Roos and Joeys (Mommy & Me), preschool, and adult classes, as well as the Debut competitive team, and look forward to many more years of fun dancing at Forte!

Signed up with Forte last year. I was told that the first session we could sit in on to make sure it was something that we wanted to commit to. Upon our return for a second session we were required to pay for that months dance class. The following week (a new month) we were required to pay AGAIN! Surely there should have been some type of proration? The classes arent even an hour long!! This will be our last dance with Forte. Not worth the hassle and drive for a 40 minute dance class.

Absolutely, amazing studio!!! I cannot say enough good about the entire Forte experience. My daughter started attending Forte three years ago. Within weeks, her self confidence was higher than it had ever been. She could not wait for her dance days week after week. She looked so forward to going to dance. She always loved dance, but Forte made her love for dance skyrocket. I would highly recommend this studio for your child and for adults as well.

Five Stars to Forte!!!!! Devon, Lauren and their staff are wonderful teachers for both kids and adults alike. I have enjoyed watching young Forte dancers grow and develop skills and confidence while having tons of fun. I have also enjoyed joining in the fun myself and getting some exercise while stepping out of my comfort zone and onto the dance floor. Thank you Forte Academy of Dance for being a great part of our community!

Waiting room is small and smelly. While I did like the cameras to watch my daughter, the quality made the cameras almost pointless. The prices were steep considering the length of the class. I will be finding another more affordable dance class for my daughter.

Took my niece to sign her up, and I dont know why, But I didnt feel very welcomed at all. Neither did my niece. I was constantly told that it could get expensive and I never mentioned how much. I felt very uncomfortable.
