It's just perfect for a working/busy adult that wants to learn some dance or get some exercise. The people that work there are pretty great too :) They're all so nice

They have several weekly dedicated classes as well as drop in classes and stand alone dance workshops. I've been taking bellydance classes there for a couple years now, and I look forward to coming to class each week. Class is always a good time. We usually warm up with yoga before we dance. Every session I learn something new - zills, veil, music rhythms. Sahira Zedare is the instructor for most of the classes, and she provides a really welcoming environment. Members of the studio's dance troupe, Synergy Sirens, also teach classes and workshops.

My daughter begin dancing at Art In Motion in 2001. She loved it from the first moment she started…read more The highlight for her each year was performing on stage at the Virginia theater in annual recital. What great memories she has of the studio and it's teachers. The staff is very welcoming to newcomers, and regardless of your child's skill set, whether you are a beginner, and intermediate, or very experienced, there is a class for you. Art In Motion has the highest quality teaching of any dance studio I have ever experienced. The facilities are very spacious, and yet there is a family like atmosphere amongst all the staff and teachers. Personally speaking of our own experience, each teacher on staff offers the highest caliber of training, in addition to the upmost attention given to integrity and character development in each child/student they encounter. Definitely a FIRST CLASS facility in every aspect that is important! I rarely review anything on YELP, but Art in Motion dance studio deserves a great review! I personally recommend Art in Motion to anyone who is interested in giving their children a high-quality experience in dance along with being taught integrity, hard work, and diligence with good morals and great work ethic. On a personal note, MY favorite part of having my daughter be a part of th A.I.M. Family was getting the opportunity myself to dance with my daughter at recital each year. The Daddy/Daughter dance that the owner teaches has got to be one of the biggest of its kind anywhere in the United States! There was over 75 dad's along with their daughters on stage EVERY YEAR that we danced in the recital... My daughter will never forget those memories with me that WE made both rehearsing and performing in some of the craziest costumes I've ever tried on... WELL DONE Chad and Tricia and STAFF! You guys are the best!

This dance studio has a lot to offer! There are definitely some things that I was very impressed by…read moreand also there were a few things that were questionable. First of all, the front desk staff was super helpful! She helped me with all of my questions and concerns... and I had a lot of them. I was impressed with the amenities that were on site (other than the dance studios) They have a lounge equipped with tables and couches perfect for waiting parents or a break between classes. There is also a decent size fitness center with a wide variety of machines. I heard that some of the moms signed up for trainers during their daughters dance classes... how convenient!! They also have vending machines with snacks, drinks, and coffee. There are 4 dance studios all of them different sizes to accommodate large and small classes.I did notice that the studios were cluttered with costumes, tumble mats, props, etc. The clutter made the studios seem smaller and disorganized. Are there no storage closets?? This place is huge there has to be somewhere else these things can be stored. The students seem to lack discipline, They scurry between studios, come in late to class, talk, goof around, and don't listen to the teacher. I also wasn't sure why there were little 7/8 year olds mixed in with 14/15 year olds. The younger kids stole the teacher attention with their constant need for discipline. I feel bad for the older girls because they have so much potential and have really amazing skills already, but the teacher could not provide with with any feedback besides using them as an example to the younger girls of how quiet they were (which didn't help the younger girls be quiet anyway). I would love to see the age groups separated a little more for the sake of the students. I mean they have the studio space - why not give your students a little more personalized attention? I do also want to address the adult ballet class. It is awesome for adults who don't have much experience. But it is also great for anyone who does have experience. I know I worked up a sweat. The class has a friendly and welcoming vibe and the teacher was full of energy. Great for parents to do while their daughters are in class. As one of the moms in this class said, "I now have a huge appreciation for what my daughter does." Amazing. I wish my mom took some adult ballet classes :) The entire vibe of the studio is definitely competition. When you first walk in there are these huge trophy's lined up against the wall. All the kids are running around in tiny booty shorts and bra-like tops. The all inclusive aspect (dance, study, work out, eat, probably even sleep/nap) everything you need is a recipe for long nights at this studio.

While soaking in front of a huge glass window in the hot tub, you can actually see the bald eagles nesting in the trees on the other side of the Illinois River! But that's about it. The place is being run by idiots, all on the city payroll -- usually guys wearing tight body shirts who spend most of their time working out on the machines while giving scant attention to the "problems" all around them. The workout machine area overlooking all of this is virtually deserted with no supervision and no customers, particularly in the evening hours after work (one has to wonder why?). This encourages pilfering and chronic theft in the locker areas, among other things. Then a white school bus arrives and unloads various people on a hot summer day, who stand around talking to each other in the Olympic-size pool, thus preventing anyone from swimming laps until after they and their white bus leave two hours later. If one tries to complain, a guy in a tight body shirt comes over to tell you your behavior is not acceptable. Meanwhile, the people off the bus could be drowning from no supervision for all he knows because, up to then, he and his "crew" are busy talking to various types about tomorrow's big game at the events center! It is a big political operation to keep everyone happy during the summer heat and the drop-dead months of cold winter, so they will not throw rocks or steal hubcaps (as well as cars parked nearby) due to the lack of personal safety on the streets around the place --which has been funded by tax monies -- that is from those who pay taxes. Somebody made a lot of money building this place. Then they use it to stick it to the taxpaying citizens to keep some people "happy" who are "needy" and unhappy for whatever reasons. But watch for Mr. Body T. Shirt to run for mayor next time around, since he knows how to make the big shots with the real money happy.

We hate to leave this place, particularly because of the relationships that we have formed with so many good people here, but the dereliction of the duty of care by management is just unacceptable and morally questionable. I hate to say it, but you'd be safer going somewhere that values member safety over money.
