Then my children and work got in the way and my tap shoes spent a decade collecting dust in my closet. Months ago one of my Pilates instructor was raving about her adult tap class at SNAP and a fellow tap lover and I decided to check it out. They have 2 classes during the week - Fridays at 1230pm and Tuesdays at 715pm. Both aren't ideal with my work and carpool schedule, but I was able to make it to the class twice. We had 2 different instructors and both were great. There were a handful of other adults in the class who were clearly regulars, but very welcoming to use newbies. We warmed up and learned a routine (even broke out the jazz hands). While I can't quite move my feet like i used to, I did my best to keep up. To be honest the hard part was remembering all the steps. My memory isn't quite what it used to be! They do always do the same routine 2 weeks in a row so if you can swing 2 weeks in a row you should have no issues nailing a routine. Drop in classes are only $18 possibly making this the most affordable workout in the north shore. And based on my Apple health app I certainly got my steps in that day. I keep meaning to go back and even bought brand new tap shoes. The scheduling times are tough, especially during the school year, but I hope to make it back soon!

For more than a decade, from a toddler to my tweens, I studied dance. I think my mother hoped it…read morewould make me more graceful and less klutzy - fail. Epic. Fail. Even though I loved dance and had no fear of performing, the one that always made me feel uncoordinated and self-conscious was any sort of unscripted booty shaking in front of others. It's still rare that you'll finding me dancing with reckless abandon outside the confines of my home unless there are serious amounts of booze involved. Until now that is. I entered the DDPP studio full of excitement and trepidation, still unsure if I could really let loose in a room full of strangers without some liquid courage. All my nervousness quickly melted away as I saw women of all ages, colors, shapes and sizes filter into the studio; the veterans full of excitement and positive energy. I paid my $5 and figured that worst that could happen was that I'd give a room full of mostly strangers some comic relief. As has been mentioned before, the studio is nothing fancy, but for this it really doesn't need to be. There are a few mirrors, some rope lights along the floor and a light machine. The music is courtesy of guest DJ's, not pros, but fellow DDPP'ers; you only need to attend once before becoming one. There aren't many rules to DDPP, but the two key ones are no judgment of yourself or others and no talking (singing along is ok). I'm still working on that first rule; I was truly wowed by the other ladies in the room and silently quite critical of my own, but the dimmed lights helped me work on my inhibition. A warm up and cool down song sandwich the non-stop dance party. You can move with as much intensity as you like, but it's hard not to get caught up in the infectious energy in the room. As far as apparel is concerned, anything goes. However, I would strongly suggest layers and breathable fabrics, leave the denim at home but defo bring a water bottle and maybe even a hand towel. I consider myself to be in decent shape and it wasn't long before I was crazy sweaty and a touch winded. If you're looking to work out some emotions, burn some calories or simply get your grove on, you've got to try it - it probably will cost you less than some fancy Starbucks drink. I may never convince myself that I look any better than Elaine Benes on the dance floor, but I'm working on not caring.

Hell, what chick needs to find some guy to dance with when there's Dance Dance Party Party? To echo my fellow yelpers, this is awesome. It's like when you dance around your house by yourself, pretending you're Madonna, but with 20 other ladies doing the same thing. No judgment, no talking, no boys. Aside from being a good workout, it's incredibly liberating. No better way to spend 5 bucks and an hour. Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance. Don't you wanna dance? Uh-huh. With somebody who loves me. Eff that noise, he can stay home. I got my girls.

To sign up, you must purchase private lessons and within the package, you are invited to attend group dance classes as well. There are typically at least two private sessions going on at any given time along with a group session. Throughout our six sessions, we were paired with three different instructors - Austin, Ben, and Mitchell who were all 5-star professionals. We have primarily danced with Austin in our private lessons and working with him is such a pleasure. He asks questions like are you here to become a professional? For a big event coming up? Or for fun? Either way, all team members treat you with the utmost respect as this is their chosen craft. They are attentive to every part of their student's body to set you up for success to be the best dancer you can be. In our first group dance class, there was myself, my partner, and two other pairs of partners there. This is a great part of training for dance because you rotate partners around the class and therefore learn to take smaller or larger movements based on your new partner. Pro-tip for parking: park on N Marshfield Ave after 6 PM for free parking. I can always find a spot there - it is a quiet side street.

Salsa, Cha Cha, and Foxtrot...Oh My!…read more You...yes you, sitting there reading this review wondering if you should take dance lessons at Arthur Murray Glenview. Well, you've taken the first step in the right direction by doing your research and learning more about the studio. Why dance? Why not! Wedding... Looking confident on the dance floor... Exercise...Next Mirror Ball Champion on Dancing with the Stars (well, that's my reason)... The fun, friendly, and talented staff at Arthur Murray Glenview will help you accomplish all your dancing needs. When you come to the studio, you will be asked what you expect to accomplish from dancing. Based on that information, you will be paired with an instructor who will make sure you achieve everything and more. In addition to one-on-one private lessons with your instructor, there are group lessons and practice parties. Arthur Murray Glenview provides an amazing learning environment for the beginning student to the advanced. And this is a direct result of the staff. While you will have most of your lessons with one instructor, you will have the opportunity to work with other instructors during group lessons. Additionally, the more seasoned students will be more than happy to show you a new move at a practice party. Who am I? I began taking lessons at Arthur Murray Glenview in January 2010--thanks to a gift certificate from my (I think she finally got tired of me talking about taking lessons ad nauseam). While I have 17+ years of tap and jazz, I had absolutely no ballroom experience. Lead and follow? Ha! Not this girl! However, my very skilled and very patient instructor Steve somehow got me to learn this very important aspect of the dance in no time. In May 2010, I did a Tango routine at the Medal Ball...and yes, I let Steve lead! I will be upfront and tell you that what you get from dance lessons is what you put into it. But, once you step in the studio, you won't want to leave. If I could, I'd be at the studio every single day. Take advantage of the group lessons and practice parties--the fun in these classes is infectious! So, if you are still saying the following: I have two left feet... I don't have a partner... I have no rhythm... There's no way I can learn to dance... Enough with the excuses! Go to Arthur Murray Glenview!

Yes, they are a bit pricey but you will know how to move and groove by the end of your experience with them. I'm a fan of Charles (Charlie) he has a great personality and the moves to make you want to dance all day long! The studio is open and big. There is a big room in the front with wall to wall windows to see on anyone driving on waukegan. Great feature because any time of day or night you can see people dancing and they pretty much entice you to walk in and just DANCE! The room in the back is a bit more private but both are turly great spaces that make you move across a wooden floor like dancing angels! I would definitely reccomend this to a friend, family member and anyone on the street!! :)
