I cannot say enough good things about this studio. My son and daughter have been dancing here for…read moreyears. We moved out of the area a while ago and but still drive the distance to continue at this studio. My son (14) and daughter (9) will not even consider going anywhere else. They love it here. The new owner is one of the kindest people I have met. All the teachers have a true love for dance, and it shows in their teaching. This studio focuses on proper technique to avoid injury and create beautiful dancers. The spring recital is the cherry on top. Instead of watching a million individual dances by class level, NWBA puts on an actual ballet. The costumes, sets and lighting is top notch. My kids love feeling part of a show and dancing with other levels. They get a taste of what a professional ballet dancer gets to do. For family and friends in the audience following a ballet story is way more enjoyable than a traditional recital.

Northwest Ballet Academy offers an unparalleled dance experience for a suburban studio. You can…read moreenroll with complete confidence due to NWBA's impressive professional teachers, high quality dance productions, and many dance art forms (Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Tap, Character, Cecchetti, & Yoga). NWBA is a family run, caring studio where teachers and students support and encourage thoughtful development and solid ballet technique. My family has been dancing with NWBA since the doors opened in 1985 when I started my ballet journey, I've recommended friends, and now my daughter studies at NWBA from an early age. Of course their children/young adult programs are great, but they also have fantastic Adult Ballet classes where the teachers will actually teach and support you at whatever level you desire. I highly recommend this 5+ star dance studio!

BE AWARE OF SCAM !! I registered my daughter for pre ballet…read more, only had 2 classes in Sep even though they charged me full tuition, no problem. Two class with two different teachers! And they both not good at all. They sent email says the 4:40 pre ballet doesn't have enough students and ask if we are willing to move to the 5:30 class. I told them 5:30 doesn't work for me , just give me the Oct refund. They said no, policy says no refund after the 15th notice. But the 5:30 doesn't work for me! When I registered the class was 4:40, and guess what! I pick up my daughter today went to the class today, there was no class! They moved to 5:30 without my consent! And the front desk was being a rude . Dont waste your money !

Great teachers, super patient, and always make you feel happy with their smile. I have learnt so much and have taken another set of lessons... if you want to learn formal dancing, this is the place. Please note that it is not cheap. Beginning lessons start at $100 per lesson. But that is par for the industry so you have to be prepared for an expensive experience... but it is worth it!

Center Stage Dance Studio has been nothing short of great. My daughter is 9 and has Down Syndrome…read moreand Center Stage has made her feel at "home". Finding a studio that offers a class specifically for special needs individuals is hard to find, but not only is there a class they are part of the competitive dance company. As a mom of a special needs child you always worry that your child won't be accepted or given the same opportunities as a typical child, the staff and other dancers never make my daughter or myself feel un welcomed and the support this special needs group receives is enough to bring tears to your eyes. I am beyond grateful for this studio and look forward to many years of dance for my daughter.

Honestly one of the best workouts you will get in Palatine - and you can't find a better value for…read moreyour workout anywhere! Walk-in prices have gone up $1 to $6/class since the pandemic, but that's still an amazing value. The workouts really push you, but are also quite adaptable. There are people (mainly women, although the occasional man) of all ages and fitness levels in the classes and the energy is great. Perfect for someone looking for a fun way to get back into shape or someone who has been working out for a while and wants to add something new to the rotation. I had done Zumba before, but none were quite like this - and I mean that in a good way! I had driven by for years before attending and this studio is truly a local gem!

Quick info: Small classes All women, age 18 and up No drama Pole dancing focus Other dance/fitness classes Drop-in's okay for certain classes Affordable The main focus is on pole dancing classes but this studio is not just limited to pole dancers. They offer other classes for dance and physical fitness, such as Flex Appeal (flexibility) and At The Barre (adult beginner ballet). They allow drop-in's for certain classes that are affordable, in case you want to try a class that's not pole dancing and don't want to commit to buying a whole class session up front. They also offer a virtual "punch card" online so you can try different classes. There's no drama here: the students and instructors are women aged 18 and up. All shapes, sizes, and fitness levels come here. No one is too big or too old. The classes are small and the instructors can decrease or increase the challenge of the class for your own personal needs. I like that I am encouraged to strive to be better but am not pressured to keep up with the girl next to me. Everyone's goals, needs, and abilities are different.
