They are patient in explaining every step + process that you may have questions about and make sure you are comfortable along the way. There is no time wasted in their lessons and you leave each lesson feeling like a million bucks! Have I mentioned how FUN this place is?? These are the type of people and type of place that make you want to come back as soon as you leave. If you're reading this and not sure if you want to start dancing or not, DEFINITELY give this studio a shot. You won't regret it!

If I could give zero stars, I would. Daync Academy is owned by Josh Burgos and Amber Rivard, and…read morethe way they've handled (or rather ignored) the serious allegations against them is disgraceful. I have taken one class and will never return. Students and instructors have come forward with detailed accounts of harassment, grooming, and financial exploitation. Instead of addressing these concerns publicly, apologizing, or taking accountability, Josh and Amber have chosen silence. How are people supposed to feel safe in this space when the owners can't even acknowledge the harm that's been done under their leadership? Josh's predatory behavior and Amber's enabling of it have created a toxic environment where trust has been shattered. The lack of transparency or responsibility makes it impossible to believe that this is a safe or supportive place to dance or learn.

My daughter and I recently took dance lessons at the Ballroom Center to prepare for our…read moreFather-Daughter dance at my daughter's wedding. We wanted to do something a little different than the ordinary, that involved a combination of slow and fast dances (e.g., a mashup). We worked with Dasha and she was both brilliant and amazing. She choreographed the whole dance with us, all the while taking into account my very limited dance skills. She made the entire process fun and memorable for my daughter and me. And she helped put together an epic dance that my daughter and I will never forget. The wedding is now 2 weeks past and we (and others) are still talking about it. Thank you Dasha and the entire staff at Ballroom Center for helping us, and for providing such a supportive and encouraging environment. We can't begin to tell you how much we appreciate it. ~Ed

My almost 4 year old has been taking ballet (& recently hip hop) for a few years now at Starland*,…read moreBaby Take a Bow**, etc. However, this year I wanted her to find a "real" dance studio where she could continue to dance her heart out for many years to come (if she happens to love dance as much as I did/do). There's not many local studios that offer tap for 3-4 year olds so that was one of my deciding factors for DancED. When researching I also stayed up way too late one night watching video clips of their performances (like I said...I LOVE dance) and was hooked. It reminded me so much of my dance studio from South Florida. My daughter has been in Miss Erin's Creative Dance class since September now and DancED has proven to be everything (and more) I was looking for in a dance studio. At first I worried that one teacher couldn't handle a rowdy group of 10ish pre-schoolers, but after attending this week's parent watch week was in awe with the way Erin has them all under control. I really like that Erin (and it appears most of the other teachers) have a lot of experience teaching little ones. At Baby Take a Bow my daughter mostly had really young ballerinas teaching her who had absolutely no experience dealing with 2 & 3 year olds. And it's a lot more difficult to control a group of pre-schoolers than it is to do a pirouette. The class consists of 20 minutes of tap followed by 20 minutes of ballet. They are working on all the basic tap (shuffles) and ballet (first, second position) moves. My daughter seems to really enjoy it, especially the tap portion of the class. Anything really noisy makes her happy. There are typically 3 consecutive classes going on at the same time and I think she loves checking out the "big girl classes" even more than taking class herself. We're just about to order their costumes for the June recital, which I have to admit I"m excited for. I was a bit bummed to hear that the little ones have their own 45 minute version of the recital, although my husband and I'm sure other parents were thrilled to hear that news. I may just have to go on my own to watch those big kids dance. DancED also have a very busy calendar of events going on all year long. Everything from father/daughter fun nights to princess camps to circus weeks. The owner does a great job showing off pics of their fabulous dancers throughout the studio and on facebook. Speaking of which I'm a bit surprised that the owner (I believe Nancy?) hasn't come by the class to introduce herself to her newest group of dancers, but I'm sure we'll meet her in due time since I hope my daughter will be dancing her way thru DancED for many years to come. * http://www.yelp.com/biz/starland-deerfield **http://www.yelp.com/biz/baby-take-a-bow-winnetka

LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOVE this place!…read more I love to workout and get a great core feeling, but I get bored very easy and needed to mix it up some. I had taken a few other classes and loved it, so I decided to enroll and try a 6-week class that was a mix of pole and lap dancing. YAS GURL! Learning all kinds of fun things and getting a great workout at the same time. Who know it worked your arse out sooooooo good? The location is tucked in the back of a strip plaza, and it took me a second to find it. The space is small but enough for a class. It is very welcoming and the girls who teach it and take the class are all very fun! I think it is very reasonably priced and they offer Yelp and multiple class discounts. It is a WI based business, so you are supporting the locals. There is a make-up policy also. So if you miss a class, no worries. They are great with working with you. DO IT!
