The programs they offer
“The arts and STEM are so important, and as a parent it can be hard to find ways to support kids who are interested in these fields outside of the school environment.”

From the reviews
First, this building is amazing. It’s a fully intact 1902 school. Architecturally stunning. Second, I wish I had known this place existed sooner! My kids have started taking classes here and they are very much enjoying themselves. I plan to eventually take a few classes as well.
My children have done a variety of classes and camps at the WCA over the last few years, and I can't say enough good things about them. The instructors have been extremely patient with my children (even when the children aren't being patient), and are very sensitive and responsive to their needs.
We love the Wayne Center for the Arts. I feel so fortunate that a community of our size has an organization like this. The arts and STEM are so important, and as a parent it can be hard to find ways to support kids who are interested in these fields outside of the school environment.
Wayne Center for the Arts has been providing outstanding arts programming for over 30 years. The staff and teachers are all excellent and well qualified. Outside professionals such ar Magical Theatre Company bolster the programming.
Your first ballet class at Wayne 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.
