Comments about the Studio and Staff

Genesis Arts is so much more than a dance school.  It’s a fun and inviting community that celebrates individual achievements and group successes; a principled environment that encourages mutual respect. Classes are exciting and challenging, and the teachers are fabulous!

Jady enjoys her dance classes at Genesis Arts (DF).  She has learned and experienced so many wonderful things there through her classes, performances, and competitions.  There is a special camaraderie between the teachers and their students at DF.

DF helps to build self confidence and teaches the students to learn how to become team players.  Through this, Jady has gained the confidence to perform in front of an audience, as well as judges.

I like the fact that DF offers a large variety of dance forms at their studio.  There are a lot of opportunities to perform, take Master Classes, and Workshops with DF. Jady is also looking forward to DF Dance Camp this summer.

My daughter has been taking ballet basics for about 8 months. She is two years old and I have seen growth in her coordination skills, her listening and following direction skills, and her social skills. She loves ballet and spends a lot of her time twirling and fluttering! Thank you!

"Genesis Arts is very family friendly.  There are class offerings to suit every dance style, skill level and schedule. The staff is caring, compassionate, professional and very knowledgeable. They are very patient and work well with the little ones like my daughter.  She has learned so much since starting there. I definitely recommend that you try a class (for yourself or your child).  You'll be hooked on the atmosphere, staff, and quality teaching!"

My daughter has studied at Genesis Arts (DF) for 10 years and takes all forms of dance. In addition to becoming a talented dancer, she has experienced a loving environment which also teaches the values of being a good person. She loves all her classes, so much so that I became interested in dance. As an adult student, I have studied jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop and Zumba, and dance is fun and great exercise!

Comments about Performance Events

Genesis Arts is a wonderful studio. I have watched a number of performances by students of Genesis Arts, from the very little to the older girls. All were professionally choreographed and fun to watch. Each performance I saw was unique and had a special quality to it. The instructors at Genesis Arts (DF) know how to highlight the talents of the performers and make them shine. I have seen tap, modern, hip hop and jazz pieces and each one had a special style all its own. I can't say enough about the quality of instruction at Genesis Arts.

Comments about the Director

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Lori Struss and Genesis Arts in multiple capacities over the years:

  • As an adult student, Miss Lori and her team transformed me from a totally untrained individual who moved awkwardly to a confident, experienced dancer who can not only coach other dancers, but assist as dance captain in area theatrical productions. 
  • As the parent of student dancers, the team at Genesis Arts gifted my children with the skills and technique needed to have fun dancing while nurturing healthy, age-appropriate behavior and movement.
  • As a client, Miss Lori has teamed with me via Silhouette Stages to become the creative force behind numerous theatrical productions. Whether taking place in the 1920’s or in modern day, Miss Lori draws from her vast experience studying with the dance masters to magically bring the show to life with clever staging that is fun for the cast and casual observer, yet rich with subtlety of movement that will delight the most astute theatergoer.
