From the reviews
Where do I begin?! Forerunners for the Arts has seriously changed my life. I got to be a part of the inaugural year of “Beloved”, an original Easter production they wrote, & from that moment, I was hooked.
I thank the Lord for this studio and absolutely love what they are about! Forerunners for the arts is not only an amazing place to learn how to dance and much more, but also to grow in your relationship with the Lord and break off the strong holds of the enemy!
Forerunners for the Arts has been such a great place to grow and dance at! I didn't start dancing until later in life, and was nervous to try dancing as an adult. I have never felt so loved, cared for, and encouraged in my life! The staff and Studio are a great place to be.
I have came to Forerunners for the Arts for almost 5 years. Forerunners has changed my view in dance and has changed me spiritually. If you are looking for dance, come here! If you are looking for acting, come here! We would love for you to come here! Everyone here is like my best friend. They are all so sweet
Adult ballet at Forerunners for the Arts
Forerunners for the Arts runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Forerunners 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.
