Forte Dance is a social and ballroom dance studio located in East Arlington, Massachusetts (5 minutes from 95, 7 minutes from 93, and a 7-minute walk from Alewife red-line T-stop). We offer partnered dance instruction to adults, kids, and teens from across New England. We specialize in West Coast Swing, a modern social dance that can be done to many forms of music as well as instruction in solo dancing (how to dance by oneself). Forte Dance boasts teachers on the cutting edge of dance instruction; they can be found every weekend training and competing at Swing and Ballroom events throughout the USA, Canada, and Europe.

In addition to lessons and workshops in East Arlington, Massachusetts, Forte owner Tessa Antolini offers private lessons at the competitions she attends each weekend throughout the United States & Europe.
