Ms. Dee and Ms. Jade are extremely professional, dedicated, flexible and wonderful with kids. T heir focus on creating a community and making dance accessible for all children in the area is genuine.

It's a great spot to learn dance. There's a main open large room for the bigger classes, and a…read morefew side rooms for smaller classes as well.

With a wedding on the horizon my father thought a nice gift would be a 4 week Wedding Prep group lesson for the lady, who can dance, and me. We learned a fun first dance routine, including a dip at the end, and had a gas. We laughed so hard during our lessons and first dance. I am not Fred Astaire by any means now but thanks to Alisa, our instructor, I now have some moves and confidence that will let me enjoy time on the dance floor. Thanks!

My fiancé and I really enjoyed our classes here. We signed up for the 4 week beginner salsa class…read more Alex, the building owner and lead instructor, and his co-instructor (whose name is somehow escaping me) were the nicest and most welcoming people. The progress we made in just 4 lessons was truly amazing. My fiancé did NOT like dancing nor the idea of dance classes (especially salsa) before we signed up but even he enjoyed it and was happy we did it. The studio was also very understanding and accommodating when we had to postpone our final dance class several weeks due to some personal circumstances. The prices are extremely reasonable. If you are looking for a good beginner dance class before your wedding, would highly recommend. Street parking in the area can be hit or miss but we never had to drive around the block more than a few times to find a spot nearby.

Our experience with Alex at Dance Connection was amazing! We took lessons with Alex for our…read morewedding's first dance, and we are so happy we did. We attended six classes over eight weeks or so, which for us, worked out great. My dance skills are limited at best, but Alex put us at ease right away - he asked about the song we chose, our experience, and anything specific we had in mind for the dance. We deferred to the expert, and he choreographed a beautiful dance for us. He also gave us opportunities to provide feedback or revisit parts of the dance. It really made us feel comfortable and excited about the finished product leading up to our wedding - the peace of mind was invaluable. Alex is a patient, kind and understanding teacher. Highly recommend. My wife and I will definitely be back. Thank you, Alex!

I grew up in this ballet school while I was in my early elementary years and all the way up until…read morethe 7th grade. Back then, I loved the school and it really made dancing my life! I took ballet, jazz, point, and a few other classes. Now I've got a 3 year old daughter and had her enrolled for her first class this past year. She really enjoyed her ballet class. She also enjoyed her teacher. When it came time for the recital, I thought my daughter was going to be shy on stage, but she held her head up high with so much confidence. She actually embraced the stage and performed/remembered her steps well. The only improvement I would suggest for this school (through a parent's perspective) is to allow credit/debit payments and also automatic payments or even reminders. I've been paying by check and many times I had no idea the payments were due. On the bright side, the classes are much cheaper than other schools.... which I definitely appreciate since my daughter is only 3 and doesn't need to be at a super duper fancy fufu school. lol. Le Ballet Petit is a really good learning environment and I highly recommend it. Btw... there's a park right across the street. So if you have a little one and you're waiting for your dancer to get out of class, that's the perfect hangout.

First let me say that we are NOT dancers and NOT very coordinated - which is what makes Teresa and…read moreSway Dance Chicago so amazing. She was able to make both my husband and me feel comfortable - both during the lesson and then later on the dance floor at our daughter's wedding. I booked a small group lesson for my husband and me, my son and his girlfriend as something fun to do and to help us all feel better prepared for my daughter's upcoming wedding. I sent an inquiry from the website and because of COVID, I wasn't sure if they were open and what their hours would be. They were very responsive and got back to me quickly. I can't say anyone but me was very excited about the idea of dance lessons. However, by the middle of the session, we were all into it. Teresa took any awkwardness out of it and we were having fun. Then about two weeks before the wedding, my husband actually suggested that he and I go back for a private lesson! Teresa was very accommodating and helped us out. She even recorded us, sent us a list of good songs to practice with, and gave us tips to work out with the DJ specific to the wedding. I should also add that the studio itself also impressive. It is very clean and well kept. The floors are in great condition and beautiful glass and mirrored walls. I highly recommend Sway Dance Chicago for private and group lessons. My husband and I are even thinking group dance might be a great way to get some fun exercise!
