Arts Inspired Dance Academy (AIDA) at 118 E Jones Street in downtown Fuquay-Varina runs weekly summer day camps for children from the Fuquay-Varina, Angier, Holly Springs, Willow Spring and Lillington area. Camp weeks blend dance and art with STEAM-based games and projects led by trained counselors, plus field trips - the NC Science Museum among them - and weekly ice cream walks downtown to the park. The academy also teaches year-round classes in dance, music, art and gymnastics for toddlers through teens, with an optional end-of-summer performance.

★★★★★Jasmine MatthewsMy daughter joined Arts Inspired Dance Academy's theater program at age four after announcing she wanted to “do acting” like the kids she saw in Disney Channel movies 😆. She’s often been the youngest one in the room, but she has always felt welcomed by Ms. Michelle, the staff, and the other students. It’s such an open, supportive, and nurturing environment. Since joining, she has participated in the summer theater program, half-day themed summer camps, Tea Parties, DRAMAworks Jr., and day camps when school is out. Multiple times a week, she asks, “When can I go back to theater class?” That alone says a lot. Ms. Michelle has created something really special with AIDA. You can tell how much she cares about her students, the arts, and the community. We're so grateful to have found such a great program.
★★★★★Mary RappAIDA is a wonderful community! We joined almost a year ago, and my child has participated in both a Drama Jr. and the current DramaWorks programs. She has also participated in a few one-time events. The owner, Ms. Michele, is very welcoming of everyone, and communication is great. I am so glad to have finally found the right place for my kid to be creative!
★★★★★Karla NantzArts Inspired Dance Academy has been incredible for our daughter. We’ve found a supportive, encouraging, and inclusive place for extracurricular activities like drama, gymnastics, and summer day camps. Our daughter has forged new friendships and grown tremendously while at AIDA. All of her instructors, including the owner (Mrs. Michelle), are great at communicating, supporting the students, and meeting them where they are. We are so blessed to have something like AIDA in downtown Fuquay-Varina.
★★★★★KimberlyArts Inspired Dance Academy has been more than a dance lessons for us. It's a home away from home. Our daughter started taking "Mommy & Me" classes, to ballet, preschool, tap, gymnastics, & many summers of camp. Our family loves AIDA & the staff. Ms. Michelle is amazing & always there for everyone. I highly recommend trying any of their many activities....drama, arts classes, ballet, tap, gymnastics, Little Ninjas class. You won't be disappointed.
★★★★★Laura Holste _ Staff - FarmingtonWoodsESMy girls have been taking dance for many years with Ms. Michelle. My girls are always eager to attend dance and it has been amazing to watch them grow as dancers through the years. As a parent, I appreciate Michelle's desire to have students serve and give back in the community. In addition, dancers are given opportunities to lead, which has aided in my older daughter's maturity. Michelle has made it a priority to continue the dance community even during the midst of forced closures. She offered online classes and socially distanced options to keep students engaged and connected. I am very pleased that our family is part of AIDA!
