★★★★★Laurie Beth BakerShared my first experience with this studio this year (2022) in Richmond, VA at a convention. It was our dancers first time at a convention and a friend of mine said “I hope FDA is here, their students are wonderful and their staff is so kind”. She was right. Those students took over the dance floor while encouraging local studios around them. The owner is kind and creative- her studio is like a tiny museum. Those students are blessed for their experience! If you’re looking for a dance family in Lynchburg, this is the one to join.
★★★★★I LillyFDA has a passion for quality dance. The teachers LOVE what they do and are continually professionally developing themselves to bring the students and community an engaging and fun dance experience. My daughter and I love the weekly classes and annual Spring Production.
★★★★★Sharon TaulbeeMy daughter has been dancing here for several years and absolutely loves it!! It’s her second home… The instructors are wonderful! But it is also so much more than just dance… the life lessons, the once-in-a-lifetime experiences, the confidence that my daughter has, the life long friendships she has made… FDA really is the best!!❤️❤️❤️
★★★★★Allison MoyerMy daughter started dancing at FDA in 1995 and I have been dancing at FDA as an adult for over 20 years now. I’m always amazed at the talent that this studio produces. The dance teachers are so devoted to their students and want everyone to succeed. If you are an adult and would like to give dance a try, come join us!
★★★★★Stephanie WittAs a mother of dancer I have to say that Forest Dance Academy has gone over and beyond to teach, love and inspire my daughter! She starter as a small little girl and they took her in and I felt so safe leaving her. As the years went by my daughter wanted to be there all the time and took many more classes and FDA became her best friend! She could not dance enough!! I knew my daughter was in the best of care and had the best instructors around. She went on to perform with the performance company and won many awards! The memories my daughter made there and the friends she spent so much time with are held close to her heart and I am so proud of the dancer that she still is today as an adult! I have a new granddaughter now and I can't wait for her to attend FDA!! As her grandmother I will make sure to see that she has the experience that my daughter did! And I can't wait to see her in first dance recital!! I would recommend this dance studio to anyone near or far!!
