Arts Together

My family LOVES Arts Together! Their camps are great but we really feel strongly about their dance programming! My daughter has been taking dance lessons at AT for three years now and is always sad when the season is over. As a parent I love that they not only teach technique but the history behind different styles. The teachers also really focus on encouraging a positive sense of self and nurturing emotions in a healthy way. Truly an amazing group of folks!

We've been so incredibly happy with our experience at both the Arts Together Preschool and the Summer Camp. The teachers are beyond incredible. With unending patience, playfulness, and compassion, they create magical, creative, and joyful experiences for the students each day. If kindergarten-readiness is your focus, the preschool prepares kids with social-emotional learning, motor skills, math, and reading skills. They also foster a deep love of nature (the kids often attend class in the outdoor classroom where on any given day they may have a bug scavenger hunt, press flowers into an art project, or plant an herb garden). The holistic arts education, including music, drama, and art, has also been so beneficial for our daughter. She has built confidence, perseverance, and a love of performing! She has absolutely thrived in this school, has made incredible friendships, and is completely supported to be herself and to follow the beat of her own drum! Big thanks to the amazing teachers, Preschool/Summer Camp Director Lauren Youngman, and Coordinator Olivia Sullivan for providing such an enriching place for young children. I wholeheartedly recommend Arts Together!

My daughter attended here during the summer, and she always came home happy, excited, and proud of the fun little projects she had made. I felt very comfortable leaving her there. The teachers and staff were always warm, thoughtful, and the whole place has such a nice building and atmosphere. I definitely recommend their summer camps.

My child was very hesitant about attending a preschool. After a recommendation from a friend I went to tour Arts Together and was wowed by it all, but Ms. Sarah sealed the deal for my child and I. During the tour she came by and greeted us...well more my child! She got down to their level, rolled around, played around, and just had an amazing immediate connection (I can tell Drama is her thing!!). My little one loves and raves about Ms. Karen (and her dancing!) Ms. Valeria and her knack to engage the children with art - like bringing in a fresh octopus when they were learning about and drawing octopus. Granted my little one didn't want to touch, it was such a memorable amazing experience and I loved hearing all the stories at pick up time. Definitely recommend 10 out of 10.

Quick edit - I would be remiss to not note how great EVERYONE is. Ms. Olivia, Mr. Duane, Ms. Jasmine, Ms. Lauren...I can't list them all. They are all so amazing and provide such a warm and welcoming learning enviornment full of fun, art, drama, academics.

Wow! What an amazing community to be a part of. Arts Together is truly an inclusive, welcoming place to be. I learned so much taking their adult dance classes taught by their high quality instructors. It's a wonderful space to dance in because the joy and love of dance is central in every aspect of their dance program. Arts Together is a gift to Raleigh and I would recommend it to anyone looking for dance classes!
