Why Performing Arts Education is Flourishing in New Jersey Suburbs

In an era where our young ones are often entangled in the digital realm of social media, there’s an uplifting trend rippling through the suburbs of New Jersey. We’re witnessing a resurgence of interest in the performing arts, with more and more teenagers seeking meaningful activities and connections beyond their screens.

At the heart of this cultural renaissance are a number of Performing Arts Studios, both new and long established ones. Located in East Hanover, Arts Edge has become a beacon of creativity and personal development for young aspiring actors, singers, and dancers in northern New Jersey. And we’re just getting started!

A Platform for Growth

Performing arts education offers more than the simple mastery of a script or a dance routine. It provides our youth with a platform to develop vital life skills – from improved communication and teamwork, to problem-solving, resilience, and empathy. Above all, it cultivates a deep appreciation for the beauty of the performing arts, making them more than spectators, but active participants in this vibrant world.

At Arts Edge, we’re not just teaching performance techniques; we’re helping young individuals “find their performing edge“. We’ve attracted a diverse audience around East Hanover and aim to extend our reach across New Jersey, including suburbs like Florham Park, Madison, Chatham, Livingston, Morristown, Roseland, Essex Fells, Morris Plains, West Orange, Fairfield, West Caldwell and many more.

The Arts Edge Experience

Corey and Julie Skaggs, the founders of Arts Edge, come from rich backgrounds in the performing arts. Their lifelong passion is not only evident in their expertise, but also in the quality of education provided at our studio. Offering a variety of acting, singing, and dance classes, we ensure our students have access to high-quality performing arts education without the need for a New York commute.

We value our students’ feedback and needs, continually expanding our curriculum with new classes and workshops. What really sets Arts Edge apart is the personal, holistic approach, making sure to bring out the unique talents of each student and helping them build their confidence in a supportive environment.

In the words of Corey Skaggs, co-founder of Arts Edge,

‘It’s immensely gratifying to see young individuals choosing to step away from their digital devices and instead, invest time in nurturing their creative talents. There’s a certain magic in watching them explore, learn, and grow through the performing arts. I’m incredibly excited about the future of performing arts in Northern New Jersey and beyond. We’re only at the beginning of this journey, and I believe the best is yet to come. The seeds we’re planting today will blossom into a vibrant arts culture that enriches our communities and inspires the next generation.‘

Our glowing reviews are a testament to our approach, reflecting the positive impact we’re having on the lives of our young artists and this with a passion for the performing arts.
