    Salsa dancing
    Ian H.

    Katie is a fantastic coach! She and the staff at DeSarge were so accommodating when I needed to learn to salsa dance in under a week. I had so much fun and can't wait to do it again!

    First Dance

    I was VERY nervous about my first dance because I am extremely uncoordinated (More or less I have two left feet). My husband and I were looking for someone to teach us basic dance steps and most importantly, help me feel comfortable on the dance floor and genuinely enjoy the moment. We initially struggled when we looked for dance lessons - we went to a consultation at a famous (nationally-known) studio next to our house and I left the consult in tears...not just because they "forced" you to learn a variety of dances before you could work on your first dance (waltz, foxtrot, etc.) BUT also because I felt so discouraged at my lack of ability...not to mention, at over $125 per LESSON it was well above our price range. I simply thought dance lessons weren't going to be in the cards for us prior to our wedding.... THAT IS, until my fiancé (now husband) found DeSarge Danceworld. The prices were incredibly reasonable particularly given the level of instruction. Devin was our instructor and he was wonderful to work with. We delved into our first dance routine within 5 minutes of our first lesson- he didn't force us to learn other dances first or go through a fundamentals program. Devin was always extremely patient with me and always had a positive attitude. I left every lesson in good spirits because I felt like I was making progress. I never felt defeated or frustrated which is more or less a miracle. While my husband and I won't be on "Dancing with the Stars" anytime soon, we are so grateful for Devin and DeSarge Danceworld for teaching us a memorable first dance routine and helping me to feel more comfortable out on the dance floor. After about seven lessons we were good to go and Devin shook our hands and wished us luck. Our ENTIRE lessons were focused on DANCING/instruction and not a sales pitch. We felt like the team at DeSarge was professional - they were focused on teaching; not selling us more lessons. My advice- skip the ridiculously priced national chains and call DeSarge! You won't regret it!

    We worked with Meg on learning the first dance for our wedding, and the end result was a dance so…read morespectacular that our guests are still raving about it. We have been asked multiple times how we learned such a complex showstopper dance. I had never really done any sort of dancing before, and we had selected a waltz. Instantly, we were impressed at how effective of a teacher Meg was, making complex movements seem easy. More importantly, she put me at complete ease. Our weekly dance practices ended up being the highlight of our week. She broke down everything into basics and helped create and teach the choreography in chunks. As the weeks progressed, we decided to add more length to the song since we were enjoying it so much. She worked on creating the mix and crafted the additional choreography as well. We then decided to practice with our actual wedding clothes on as well, and we learned limitations two weeks before the wedding date. Meg helped us find professional dance shoes and adapted the choreography to work around those limitations, completely making the song feel comfortable even in the limited movement of the clothing. Throughout these lessons, Meg was extremely flexible in scheduling and often going out of the way to work around our travel. She even helped us book a time slot when the entire studio was empty so that we could practice our dance using the whole space in private. Her and the rest of the instructors were warm, welcoming, and caring. We honestly had such a great time that we are thinking about going back to learn other dances as well.

And it is all thanks to My Dance Hub. The instructors here are all first rate, and many of them have been dancing for decades. They take their time to help one develop one's skills in a variety of different dances. In the short time I have been there, I learned to dance the Waltz, Tango, Cha-Cha, and Rumba, to name just a few dances. Throughout the year, they hold dance showcases where people demonstrate what they learned in choreographed routines. These are especially fun as a participant and to watch as a spectator too. In these ways, the instructors make it even more fun to learn dancing. Whether you are a complete beginner like I was, or even if you have been dancing for some time, My Dance Hub offers an educational and fun setting to practice your dancing.

    My 18 year old daughter just finished 2 years with the Academy of Dance Arts and is about to begin…read moreher first season at a professional company as a trainee. Honestly, the only regret we have regarding ADA is that we didn't find it sooner. Shortly after starting here and experiencing the caliber of instruction they provide, our daughter was thrilled with the immediate improvements in her dancing. I was thrilled as well, but also a tad miffed at myself that we had wasted so much of her time/ our money for so long elsewhere. She had previously been commuting from Naperville to Chicago to a studio where she was treading water in a sea of talent. If you were not one of the top dancers in the room, you were lost. Under 1 of the instructors ( half of her time there), she only learned by listening to the corrections she gave to the "really good girls" (my daughter's words ). She loved it there, but we didn't know how much better things could be. When quarantine happened and commuting wasn't an option, we looked locally and found ADA; it was less expensive and so close to our home in Naperville and seemed too good to be true. As a nurse, I was nervous about her starting back in a studio full of kiddos huffing and puffing during Covid (pre-vaccine) but was amazed at the level of precautions in place. The studios at ADA are beautiful: spacious, new, and clean. They had thought of everything to keep the students safe and dancing back in the studio again rather than the sometimes necessary zoom dancing (which ADA also executed really well). Sherry Moray, the founder and Artistic Director, saw our daughter's potential but immediately recognized some habits she had developed that had never been corrected. Sherry quickly got to the root of problems that had been challenging our daughter for years, and she began to improve dramatically. Sherry, Irina, and Diana are amazing instructors who continued to fix the cracks in the foundation and challenge her in new ways, all in a manner that built her up. They believed in her, and that helped her to believe in herself. So much of succeeding in dance comes down to confidence, and that is what made the change exponential. ADA has a family/ community feel, and the staff was/ is truly invested in my daughters' best interests. Louise (Studio Manager and fellow dance mom) was amazing in helping our daughter navigate a new studio and the world of competitions. She's an incredible resource and a kind person. Sherry frequently checked in with our daughter regarding her future plans and what she thought would be best when it came to auditioning, etc. Their expertise was invaluable, but the staff's level of caring and investment was such a pleasant surprise and something which I believe to be a rarity. Our daughter has been dancing for 15 years, and we have experience with 4 different dance studios, never has she grown as much as she has in these past 2 years at ADA. It has truly been such a great experience!

    I am super impressed!…read more This is going to be a long winded review. Let me start off by saying my 11 year old daughter has done competitive cheer for 4 or 5 years. The team she was on was good but never won the super big competitions. My daughter was discouraged so much that she wanted to stop cheer. We offered to switch teams but she said she wanted to try something else. She loves to dance as well as gymnastics/tumbling so we investigated some dance schools in the area. A year or so ago while she was still doing cheer we signed her up for a recreational class at Xtreme so she could try it out. She enjoyed it very much so we decided to sign her up for one of their more competitive teams this season. She wanted to try out for company but we didn't know how that would go since she was new, we didn't know if there were politics that may keep a new student from making one of the higher level teams or if she was even good enough to make the team. We explained to our daughter not to get her hopes up, however when the time came she made it all the way up on the Gold Level team, she was ecstatic! Xtreme has many different levels which will probably cater to most all skill levels from beginner to advanced. Now that we are five months into this season and completed two regional competitions I can leave an honest review...my review is that Xtreme is awesome! My daughter's team won her first competition and took 2nd in her second competition but that doesn't tell the whole story. Xtreme wins everything, well not literally everything but almost lol. In the overall scoring they took 1st overall and had three teams in the top five. During the awards all you hear the announcer saying is "Xtreme Dance Force, Xtreme Dance Team" over and over as different Xtreme teams/lines win. When my daughter did competitive cheer there were always those two or three teams that always seemed to win everything, well it appears Xtreme is one of those schools/teams that win almost everything and our daughter couldn't be happier to be a part of it. Staff and teachers seem great. Being our first year my wife and I always have lots of questions, the staff probably wants to strangle us sometimes but they're always very helpful and friendly. My daughter says the teachers are all very nice and encouraging. She's already taking about next year and wanting to do more dances and try out jazz and lyrical next season. I'd highly recommend Xtreme whether you're looking for just recreational dance instruction or highly competitive levels of dance for your child.

If you're searching for a dance studio that caters to everyone from first-time dancers to high school seniors aspiring to have a professional career in dance, this is the place for you. We recently attended the year-end dance showcase, and it was like watching a live, spectacular performance from the later rounds of "So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD). You know, the point in the season where the dancers are exceptional, looking like professionals and performing beautifully crafted routines? That's exactly what we experienced. Melissa, a professional dancer and now owner of the studio, has transformed her passion for dance into a studio where others can learn and grow. The teachers and guest choreographers (some names below are former contestants on SYTYCD), including Imani, Jacob, Trevor, Sydney, Jody, Abbey, Scott, Kaela, Patrick, Robert, Channing, Sienna, and Caroline, all bring their own professional skills and artistic visions to the studio. So, whether you have an 8-year-old who's never danced before or a 16-18-year-old on the path to a dance scholarship, look no further. Thank you, Envision team, for everything you do!

It's about movement, longevity, and building strength the right way. What really sets this gym apart is the coaching staff. The coaches are consistent not rotating in and out which makes a huge difference. They know your name, your goals, your strengths, and where you need improvement. That continuity builds trust and real progress. The community is amazing. This isn't just a place to work out. Members volunteer with local pet shelters, connect outside the gym for pickleball gatherings, and host educational sessions on topics like perimenopause giving women knowledge and giving men insight so they can better support the women in their lives. That kind of environment is rare. Every month there are new challenges to push yourself, plus self-achievement awards that recognize individual wins. And I have to say the spicy stickers are a nice touch. Small detail, but it shows they celebrate effort and consistency in a fun way. Beyond Measure isn't just about lifting weights. It's about building strength in your body, confidence in yourself, and connection in your life. If you're looking for community, accountability, and long-term health plus fun this is it.
