Forte is an amazing studio! My daughter loves dancing there. The staff and students are all so kind and welcoming.

Forte is the best!

We absolutely love Forte Arts! My daughter is only in her second season with them and we already feel like a part of the Forte Family. Such a wonderful place to be a part of.

Forte Arts Center is so much more than just a dance studio! My girls have learned so much about character, community, and themselves from being a part of the forte family! The staff and owners are the sweetest and go above and beyond for their dancers.

We absolutely love Forte! My daughters always look forward to class. The teachers are kind, patient and encouraging. My girls learn and grow so much in their dancing, but also in their confidence, in their ability to follow directions, and to be a good friend and classmate. We're thankful to be a part of this community!

We just switched to Forte at the end of this summer, and it has been a great transition! The staff has been very welcoming and supportive, and it has been such a great experience. Both of my kids are very happy in their classes and enjoy going!

I do music lessons with Mrs. Shelbbie, she’s the most amazing person ever! looking back on my past recitals I have definitely grown as a singer. all thanks to Mrs.Shelbbie!

Forte is an incredible place for dance and music lessons. They are not just teaching students to be great dancers, musicians, and performers but also teaching them to be wonderful human beings. All the teachers and staff are so caring and patient with the students (and us parents) and make lasting bonds with all the families.

Forte is an amazing place for your littles to take dance. My daughter loves everything about taking ballet there! Plus, they offer fundraisers through the year to make it more affordable.

This is our first year at Forte and my daughter is loving her class. The staff is always friendly and so supportive of all the dancers. It’s a great environment and we’ve had only wonderful experiences so far!

Forte has been such a great experience for both my dancer and myself!!! Lily looks foward to going to dance and loves her teachers. I love how easy it is to get in contact with staff and they help me stay on top of things in my busy schedule! The staff is GREAT and the atmosphere is perfect!! THANK YOU FORTE for everything!!!

We are new to this studio but danced with another for 8 years. Best decision I ever made for my daughter. The organization, support, communication is top notch. The teachers are absolutely amazing!!!

We are new to this studio but danced with another for 8 years. Best decision I ever made for my daughter. The organization, support, communication is top notch. The teachers are absolutely amazing!!! The kindness and support that are shown to these kids is unbelievable!!! Switching studios has definitely been a game changer for my daughter. She was so done with dance and we tried Forte. Her confidence is up, her personality is so positive, she loves being at the studio. It is no more tears before and after dance. Everyone is treated equal no favoritism. Everyone gets to be in front. Because some are naturally gifted but some work extremely hard and should be recognized for the effort they put it. I love the fact that they not only teach dance but character traits. Things they will need to succeed outside the studio in the real world. I love that you can watch your kids dance on the TV's. They have so much to offer not just to dancers but arts in general. I have never heard a derogatory word, no yelling nor seen a child embarrassed in front of their peers. That is huge! Being new my child was accepted, has friends of all ages because they took her under their wing and made her transition so easy. The different things they do within the studio and for people outside the studio in the community is amazing. I love the things they teach and what they stand for. I can't say thank you enough for making A's time at the studio positive, happy and she is creating amazing memories. And more importantly she has the love for dance back again. I can never thank you enoght!!! Less

I actually go here and this is the best place I’ve ever gone to I’ve been able to do lots of musical reviews and I’ve really progressed in my piano thanks to Miss Shelby my piano teacher! This place is awesome!

My daughter is going into her 12th year of dance at Forté. Over the years, we have invested a lot of time and money but these are the best investments we have ever made. What the teachers at Forté have invested in HER is more than I can ever put into words. The things she learns at the studio go far beyond dance (which for her has been incredible).

My daughter is going into her 12th year of dance at Forté. Over the years, we have invested a lot of time and money but these are the best investments we have ever made. What the teachers at Forté have invested in HER is more than I can ever put into words. The things she learns at the studio go far beyond dance (which for her has been incredible). She is not only a skilled dancer but has made lots of family along the way, and has grown up to be kind and disciplined with their support away from home. Special shout out to Miss Cathey who always goes above and beyond to answer questions and support me and other parents in any way she can. Thank you to everyone at Forté for all you do for my girl.

Love this place so much! i love all the people and the teachers they are so nice! I’ve been here for 12 years now and i intend on staying until i graduate!! <3

Forte Arts Center is a wonderful studio. My daughter is a member of the Dance Company and truly loves all her classes and teachers. I appreciate the professionalism and caring from the staff.

My daughter's have been Forte Arts Center company dancers for 8 years. We absolutely love the staff at Forte for their support, guidance, appropriate choreography and costumes, all while encouraging our girls to try new styles and build self confidence! We love Forte!

Both of my daughters love this dance family. Teachers care tremendously about the students and truly want them to be successful in dance and life.

I absolutely LOVE this place! I have been dancing here for the past 12 years, and just joined the Forte staff this year. The environment is so welcoming and the staff is amazing!

Our daughter is in her third year at Forté and loves it! I’m very impressed with the professionalism and communication from the studio, and our daughter just adores her teachers. Can’t recommend enough!

This has my daughters dance home for 3 years now, she has always felt welcomed and loves going to dance.

I have two girls that attend. One on tumble team and the other a Dance Company member. No other two could be more different. Forte has helped them both thrive in their own ways.

My granddaughter has been dipping her toes into dance for a couple of years now for fun, this year she has gotten pretty serious about it and has filled her plate with classes of several varieties. All the instructors she has had, seem to make sure she and her classmates are safe, given the attention they need, encouraged to continue their progress with practice and applauded and celebrated for their work well done! We have tried a class or two at other studios but the atmosphere at Forte' is filled with positivity, something that is important to me if she is going to continue on this path. They have handled the Covid closures and situations with finesse also. Everyone at Forte' is always helpful and they have gone out of their way to accommodate us when it's needed. The smile on my granddaughters face when she talks about dance classes makes me know I did the right thing when I put my trust in Forte'. Less

My daughter and I started at Forte 2 years ago for the Mommy and Me Class, we fell in love with the people and the studio! My daughter has been dancing with them now for 2+ years. We wouldn’t want to take classes anywhere else! They have a wide variety of classes and times for classes! We love Forte!

Forte Arts Center is an amazing place. My daughter loves dancing there and her teachers and classmates are like family!

We love Forte! The teachers are so great with all ages! They get a well rounded experience that truly is more than just about dance! The amount of classes they offer really helps to meet so many families different needs! We love Forte- all the teachers, helpers, and staff!

I have absolutely LOVED being part of the Forte family for the past 15 years! There is no place I would rather spend so much of my time. The faculty have taught me so much and I am forever thankful for them. I LOVE the AMAZING, POSITIVE atmosphere! If you're looking for a dance studio, this is the place to be!

Absolutely love this place! We have been a part of this studio for 11 years and it’s been wonderful! All 6 of my kids have taken classes here and it’s such a kind and caring environment with positive, loving staff and faculty.

Forte arts center has been a place where I feel at home, inspired and can improve every day! It’s has been one of the most welcoming places I have been and I always feel like I can be myself! I have grown so much the 13 years I have been here, thank you Forte!

Forte Arts Center has amazing staff and instructors and offer a wide variety of classes. I love that they offer hybrid zoom or in person classes! I highly recommend Forte Arts Center to anyone looking for a dance studio in the area.

This is my daughters 3rd year at FAC. She loves her teachers Miss Peyton and Miss Megan. Forte offers many dance classes and times. They even have great summer camps to choose from..

Our family loves Forte!! Both of my girls enjoy their dance classes and my oldest just started music lessons. They have the sweetest and most helpful staff. We love that they have something for all of our kids. Our son did the ninja camps they had in the summer and loved them! We are so thankful for something like Forte in our community to build our kids up positively and grow their interests.

My daughter is on her 3rd year dancing at Forte, and she loves it! There are a range of classes available to suit your child.

Both our son and daughter have Mr. Ken for music lessons. Our daughter takes voice and ukulele and our son takes drumming. Mr. Ken goes out of his way to find music that both challenges and excites the kids. We have been virtual with him since March and the kids are still making progress. It’s amazing to see him share his talents even through the computer! Couldn’t ask for a better music teacher... More

I love Forte's music lessons, whether in person or remotely. I started taking guitar lessons in my 40's. It's never too late to learn! Ken is a great teacher.

We have been a part of Forte Arts Center for over 12 years! With the current situation of COVID, in person classes were suspended. The faculty has done a great job with converting it all to a virtual platform! FAC also offers a Cheer program, private music lessons as well as a program called Magical Moments! Check them out! Fun memories are made here that will last a lifetime!

Love the experience my daughter gets. Her teachers are amazing. Shout out goes to the front desk staff espicilally Mrs. Kathy who always checks on my daughter and makes us feel so welcome and helps us in many ways!!!!!

We moved to Morris a few months before my daughter started kindergarten. It was recommended that she do a group activity because of how shy she was.

We moved to Morris a few months before my daughter started kindergarten. It was recommended that she do a group activity because of how shy she was. She decided she wanted to dance and from the moment we walked in the door of Forte we felt like family. They treated my daughter with respect and let her watch a few different classes. She picked her class and the teacher was very welcoming to us both. Since then every teacher we have had has been amazing. The parents are also great. They welcomed me to the studio and are there to give advice and tips. Also in my case help entertain my 2 younger daughters. My daughter is now 7 and has a great group of friends and has become very outgoing. Last year she was on a dance competition team and this year she's on tumbling team. Never would I have thought my daughter would be able to get on a stage. I would highly recommend Forte they gave my daughter the confidence to come out of her shell and be the wonderful little girl that she is. Less

We absolutely love Forte!! My daughter has been coming here since she was 6yrs old, she's now 13. The encouragement, kindness and skill of the teachers is above and beyond. The whole staff is fantastic and are always very helpful with everything. We are truly a family. I would highly recommend them!!

My daughter loves going to her class. Very organized, fun, and all the teachers are great!

This is my daughter's 4th year here at Forte Arts Center and we absolutely LOVE it here. It's not just a dance studio....it's a family � The teachers are wonderful and I have seen my daughter improve so much since she started here.

This is my daughter's 2nd year with Forte. She loves everything about being a dancer. In turn we love not only seeing her confidence and skills grow, but also the comfort she has with being at Forte and being herself there.

Forte Arts Center (Pam's Dance) has been a part of my family for the past 9 years! My daughters have learned to dance and play guitar & ukulele with many friendships in between over these years.

The teachers here are absolutely wonderful. They are not only talented, but genuinly care about the students. The desk and office staff are always so nice and helpful. My daughter is starting her eighth year here and is excited every season. We couldn't imagine going anywhere else!

We love Forte This is our daughters 2nd yr there doing both dance and tumbling. The teachers and staff are amazing and it’s a great environment.

Forte has been awesome for my little girl. She used to be so shy and now is an outgoing little girl. She loves to dance and is on her way to becoming an awesome tumbler too!!

Now ending our first season at Forté, with Tiny Tot Tumbling, Ballet/Tap, and Piano Lessons (and a newly added Aerial Yoga for myself, lol) I feel we've got enough experience in, to leave a full review of how truly amazing Forté and The Staff have been day in and day out.

From sign-up, to the Cornfest Parade, to bring-your-friend day, and buckling down on recital dances, (and really so much more) it's been as enjoyable for my children, as it has been for myself. The Instructors are genuine and caring, to say the least. I know my children are in good hands, not only while learning the curriculum, but in every other situation their paths may cross. Pam has truly done a great job with the community she's built at Forté Arts Center. We look forward to many more years with this studio! Less

Pam and her staff are truly amazing! They provide the highest quality instruction in a positive, nurturing, and caring environment. Their teachers truly love working with children and it shows!

Hands down the best dance studio in the area! Passion for educating dancers! Amazing tumbling program!

Professional, passionate, caring staff. Family friendly! A great place to learn and grow. Totally topnotch school!

Pam and her staff are incredible! Thank you for providing kids with such an amazing experience!

Awesome studio with a caring, professional staff. A great place for your child to grow up.

Such a nurturing environment for children. And their dancing is great too!

Top notch school, caring, qualified teachers. Highly recommend!

Love it! Love it! Love! This is a wonderful place to learn and grow!!

Wonderful owner and staff! Definitely recommend for your child.

Such a professional and welcoming environment! The teachers and staff all know exactly what they're doing and make sure every student is challenged and learning to the best of their ability. My daughter absolutely loves it. Out of the 7 classes she takes she can't choose a favorite because she enjoys them all and the instructors as well.

The absolute BEST studio around!!! Take your kids here. You won't regret it!

Forte Arts Center is a top-notch studio. Students excel in several areas of the arts with a staff that is caring and passion. Any parent would be proud to have a student attend Forte Arts Center!

Great people with integrity and Great dancing! Highly recommended!

<3 the best dance instructors and staff who will care about your children as if they are their own!

Awesome place awesome people!! ❤
