My daughter has been coming to Forte for close to 7 years now and we love them! She has been in multiple levels of ballet and has tried tap. The instructors are so sweet and easy going- truly top notch 🙂

We LOVE Forte Dance Center! My daughters (5 and 2) take tap, ballet, and acro, and the growth we’ve seen in them since starting has been incredible. The atmosphere is so uplifting and fun — you can feel the joy as soon as you walk in.

Miss Emily is AMAZING! Her passion for dance shines through every class, and she has such a special way of connecting with the kids. My girls can’t wait to see her each week!

The recitals are wonderfully organized and truly magical to watch. The costumes are absolutely adorable, and everything is done with such care and attention to detail. Even the receptionist is so warm, welcoming, and helpful — it makes every visit such a positive experience.

We couldn’t be happier with Forte Dance Center. If you’re looking for a dance studio that’s passionate, joyful, and nurturing, this is the place! 💖🩰✨

I love this studio! My daughter has been dancing here for 6 years. She takes ballet, hip hop, jazz, and tap. She loves her teachers and her friends. The owner and her husband are super friendly and helpful. You can tell her heart is in this dance studio.

I would personally highly recommend Forte Dance Center. Whether your looking for a Recreational, Serious, or even a Competition Style Dance Studio, this place does it all. The staff here teach proper dance technique in a fun way that makes learning a great time. This Studio offers Child Care, classes for both Kids and Adults, and also has a competition team. I’m originally from Ohio and where I grew up, having a studio that had everything was a rare find. It was either a very strict studio for professional dancers, a serious competition only studio, or a studio you went to just for fun. Everyone is very welcoming and I appreciated the fact that from Day 1 they made me feel like I was part of the family. I’m very grateful I found this place and hope if anyone is looking for a studio that feels like Home….they take my advice and give Forte a try

We highly recommend Forte Dance Center for anyone in the Johnstown or surrounding areas. They personally get to know all of their dancers and their families, and are always available through phone or email. They made us feel welcome from the beginning and have a true interest in their young dancers. Great Job and keep up the good work!

My 4 year old daughter loves this dance studio. She's a beginner dancer and I'm so grateful that Ms. Emily is soooo patient with my daughter, but also constructive when my daughter needs to focus. Ms. Emily makes class so fun for all the kids, and that's why we will be back next season. Also, Kevin who works the front desk is so nice, professional and very helpful with any questions you have. They are always on top of emailing parents if there are class cancelations and updates which I appreciate. Forte Dance Center is the real deal and my daughter and I are so happy to have found them.

Our three year old daughter attends classes at Forte and we highly recommend this studio. Emily is an outstanding teacher! She is very patient, kind and is always willing to go the extra mile for her students. Kevin is super helpful at the front desk. If you have a question about anything, from billing to shoe fitting, he has an answer for you. We are looking forward to many years at Forte with our daughter.

I can't say enough positive things about Forté Dance Center. My daughter has been dancing since she was 4 years old and she is now 12, but it wasn't until this year at Forté that I really saw her come out of her shell. She has a renewed passion and excitement for dance that I just didn't see before. Ms. Emily is by far the best teacher that I've ever encountered. She is patient with the kids, upbeat while teaching, and so very encouraging. Mr. Kevin is always there to help with any questions you may have. The two of them together make an amazing team and because of that, the studio runs so smoothly. They offer so many unique opportunities for the dancers to participate in, which my daughter loves. The prices are extremely affordable and the times work perfectly with our busy schedule. My daughter has made so many new friends this year. Forté is much more than just a dance studio, it's a family. We love our Forté fam!

Forte Dance Center allows young dancers to become well-trained in a variety of dance styles. Emily is great with the kids. She helps them learn the fundamentals of dance all while helping them grow as individuals. We had experience at another dance studio and Forte Dance Center is by far the best decision we made. If you're looking for a great dance studio, this one is awesome!

Love this dance studio for my daughter! We had experience at another, and Forte is exceptional in comparison in my opinion. Mrs. Emily is great with the girls, i love that she uses correct dance terminology for the moves, and great choreography as well. Mr. Kevin is always there at the desk for any questions you may have. The studio is super clean, and very affordable. My daughter loves it too!

Miss Emily has done a fantastic job of helping our (very shy) daughter transition into dance. She looks forward to it weekly and loves everything about Miss Emily, dance, and the studio! We are more than thrilled with our first year here and highly recommend Forte Dance! Kevin is also extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. We are so grateful to them and their expertise!

I cannot say enough how great this dance studio is. After several years of dancing at another studio my daughter wanted to try somewhere new and I happened to see that Forte was opening and I talked to my daughter and we decided to give it a try. Best decision we ever made! My daughter has never been happier dancing and I really love the family feel of the studio. Miss Emily and Mr. Kevin are the best and they truly care about our kids. If you have a young lady or young man that is interested in dancing you should definitely give Forte a chance. You won't regret it and we would so love to see our Forte family expand!

Forte dance center has been such an amazing opportunity in the lives of my girls! Ms Emily is without a doubt the most invested dance teacher I have ever come across! She teaches both my teenager and toddler, and both adore her! I can’t say enough amazing things about this dance studio and the instructors! If you want to take your kids somewhere they will be valued and encouraged, not just in dance, but in life, this is definitely the place for you to go.
