From the reviews

Beautiful little gem we have in our community. Our daughter takes vocal lessons here and the staff is always so friendly. They offer other lessons and dance classes and it's nice to have a creative outlet for people to enjoy!

★★★★★ — Lori, Oct 2025

This is a lovely venue to go to with the family for plays, musicals, at displays, etc. They sometimes have free events for the family which is always a treat. Even when you need to purchase tickets, it's always very reasonable, worth every penny.

★★★★★ — Rage, Nov 2025

It's a community theater that does a fantastic job of their presentation of plays. God bless those people who can get up on stage, memorize lines, sing and dance. And God bless those of us who totally enjoy watching those people!!!

★★★★★ — Mary, Jul 2023

Went to see Bye Bye Birdie with family and friends. We all enjoyed the show. The cast was fun and put on a wonderful show. We will return to see other shows. Highly recommend for both adults and children to enjoy.

Your first ballet class at Ashtabula Arts Center

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
