age-specific lessons in classes such as: dance (ballet, tap, ballroom, latin/swing), drama/improv, pottery, painting, collage, drawing, general art, guitar, piano, or violin.  Arts For All lessons are affordable for all.  Some ideas include:   Enjoy a dance lesson with a group of friends, at a party or before a wedding   Have a group participate in drama or painting at a birthday party   Recieve private group piano or guitar lessons for the whole family
