Customer's reviews
We LOVE Forte Dance Center! My daughters (5 and 2) take tap, ballet, and acro, and the growth we’ve seen in them since starting has been incredible. The atmosphere is so uplifting and fun — you can feel the joy as soon as you walk in.
Miss Emily is AMAZING! Her passion for dance shines through every class, and she has such a special way of connecting with the kids. My girls can’t wait to see her each week!
The recitals are wonderfully organized and truly magical to watch. The costumes are absolutely adorable, and everything is done with such care and attention to detail. Even the receptionist is so warm, welcoming, and helpful — it makes every visit such a positive experience.
We couldn’t be happier with Forte Dance Center. If you’re looking for a dance studio that’s passionate, joyful, and nurturing, this is the place! 💖🩰✨

I would personally highly recommend Forte Dance Center. Whether your looking for a Recreational, Serious, or even a Competition Style Dance Studio, this place does it all. The staff here teach proper dance technique in a fun way that makes learning a great time. This Studio offers Child Care, classes for both Kids and Adults, and also has a competition team. I’m originally from Ohio and where I grew up, having a studio that had everything was a rare find. It was either a very strict studio for professional dancers, a serious competition only studio, or a studio you went to just for fun. Everyone is very welcoming and I appreciated the fact that from Day 1 they made me feel like I was part of the family. I’m very grateful I found this place and hope if anyone is looking for a studio that feels like Home….they take my advice and give Forte a try

I cannot say enough how great this dance studio is. After several years of dancing at another studio my daughter wanted to try somewhere new and I happened to see that Forte was opening and I talked to my daughter and we decided to give it a try. Best decision we ever made! My daughter has never been happier dancing and I really love the family feel of the studio. Miss Emily and Mr. Kevin are the best and they truly care about our kids. If you have a young lady or young man that is interested in dancing you should definitely give Forte a chance. You won't regret it and we would so love to see our Forte family expand!
