From the reviews
The FOA is the best place in the area to get lessons in art, theater and dance. There is a lot of energy there and everyone seems to really enjoying their classes. The theater productions are very well done and there is lots of participation from the community.
I love the FOA so much!!! Been coming here since I was about 10, and it is such a unique and fun place! Has such a good vibe, everyone is so sweet and it's just an awesome environment. The productions are always AMAZING, an awesome place to go with friends or family. Classes are awesome too, with amazing teachers.
Great organization with good people. Highly recommend if you are looking to find a place to be involved. Many classes to do from dance to painting to acting on the stage. Has been a blessing to our kids and family.
Affordable dance and art classes! With three and one on the way, they made it possible for my daughter to be in dance, through offering work study to help pay for classes! Excellent!
Your first ballet class at The Foundation of Arts- 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.
