We saw the last performance of Macbeth here during the outside free Shakespeare festival. It was absolutely amazing. Equity actors and great production. Very relevant.

★★★★★ — Cheryl, Jul 2018

Such a wonderful spot. There are all kinds of activities the community can come to take part in. Meeting new artists and new crafts that you can do at home. Don't forget about the dancing and theatrical events. Overall a grand place in Jackson.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Feb 2018

It would be good if the CFA sound staff would give the speakers a quick refresher on how to use a hand-held mic. For example, Mr, Simpson held it at chest level and kept turning his head to the side, which made for very inconsistent sound.

Your first ballet class at Center for the Arts

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.
