It is already crazy that families have to spend $17 on each ticket to attend a performance that they already paid a ton of money leading up to with classes but Deforest doesn't even have enough tickets available to purchase.

" Best Birthday Party Ever Mom!" --couldn't be said better than by my ten year old daughter…read more Great experience for the parents as well, the studio takes care of everything. All I had to do was bring the cupcakes of choice for the birthday girl. My daughter got to invite her friends to learn a dance routine, have pizza, get makeovers that included a cute hair bow that all the girls were super excited about... and the studio makes goody bags. I spent the whole day wondering if I forgot to do something :) Then they perform what they learned at pick up time for the parents, so cute and a great picture op! Great bang for your buck as far as kids parties in the suburbs, it couldn't have been easier, AND the two dance instructors (Ashley and Kelsey) teaching and running the party have the patience of saints. Kudos to you Deforest Dance, you have made children's parties about the child again!

Additionally, the classes are consistently overcrowded, making it hard to get a good workout. Be careful: if you miss a class, they hit you with a very pricey "no-show" fee.

The instructors here are TOP NOTCH and make me feel so excited and empowered to push myself and get stronger every time I come. The owners are also incredible women that have created the most welcoming, inspiring community here that you could ever ask for. The community is so kind and there is no toxic environment here. Just supportive members, staff and owners. The goal in this building is to become a stronger you, mentally and physically-- NOT to just lose weight/get skinny. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, there is a place for you here, and instructors are more than willing to offer modifications if you are having trouble. I'll be honest-- the unlimited membership is expensive for me, but worth every last penny because there's nowhere else I'd wake up at 4:45am to go workout at day after day! If you're thinking of trying out Pure Barre, I would highly highly recommend trying the free trial class, and I hope you end up loving it as much as I do!

Vito Magrone is a professional ballroom dancer who has had an amazing career. I won't go into his…read morewhole bio here, you can catch it on his website. But it is very impressive. He is also a longtime Wood Dale resident. He recently re-opened his ballroom dance business at the Georgetown Clubhouse in Wood Dale. On Thursday nights, Vito teaches a group class. One dance is featured per month. It could be anything; American Style Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Tango, Rumba, Salsa/Mambo, Waltz, Swing, Hustle... you get the idea! The class is for anyone, you don't need prior ballroom dance experience. Anyone who has met Vito knows how much fun he is. He has quite the personality! He's also patient, professional and a great teacher. You are sure to have a good time. The cost is $10 - very reasonable for an instructor of this caliber, and Vito always stays around after the lesson to hold open dance practice for the students. He'll play a variety of ballroom music. It is a fun and casual atmosphere. The Georgetown Clubhouse is a spacious place to dance. You'll come for the dancing and keep coming back because it is so much fun! I highly recommend Vito and his class to anyone who wants to try ballroom dancing.

I came to his lessons as a complete novice- I had never had a dance lesson in my life. He is an amazing teacher and has taught me so much!!! I look forward to my lessons every week where I know I will learn something new and have a great time with a fun group of people. Also, most importantly you don't need to bring a partner for group classes or private lessons. In addition, he hosts social dances which I am always sure to make room in my calendar to attend. It's always a great time!
