Thoroughly unimpressed with this place. I just wanted to give them my money and learn how to dance…read more I sent them an email. No response. Actually spoke with the proprietor on the phone and asked to schedule some private lessons and nobody ever got back to me. This seems like the status quo over with them according to the other comments here. I guess I'll be finding another choreographer/instructor elsewhere. 2 thumbs down.

THIS PLACE DESERVES TO BE OUT OF BUSINESS ! I would have loved to give this place the most NEGATIVE…read morestars if I could, even zero. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE ! My family unfortunately had finished paying the so called "choreographer" JESUS ESTRADA, to not only leave us hanging two weeks before my sister's quince, but always cancelling, making excuses, never replying, etc. JESUS ESTRADA is LAZY, UNPROFESSIONAL, INCONSIDERATE, AND A LIAR. Please DO NOT be fooled by "good" choreography that has been done by him REPEATEDLY ! Avoid this place at all costs. THEY WILL SCAM YOU ! This place only cares about money and has total disregard for customer service. On another note, he says that he will provide suits for the chambelanes, but at the end he either makes up excuses as to why he "did not" get the suits or tells the family last minute to provide the suits themselves. Yet again, he had chambelanes work for him and never ended up paying them for their part as promised. Even if he ends up providing suits for your chambelanes, it always ends up being black and nothing to match the color of the quince. With our experience, he always ended up showing up late, never finishes the dances (which follows up with repeats of other dances that have been "choreograph" by him). The amount of times we tried to contact him through texts and calls, he never ended up answering and if he did it was to notify that the practice has been cancelled HOURS when it should have started. Or simply because "SUPPOSEDLY" he FORGOT. JESUS ESTRADA overbooks himself and never provides his part of the contract. At the end of the day they will simply IGNORE you on PURPOSE because they know how to fool their customers. The staff could care less if you are wasting your time waiting on them to show up. In addition, if you are one of the lucky people he texted back it was only to request for an additional payment prior to the "contract." As always DO NOT get fooled by this message, it always benefits HIM for the MONEY. This is his ways of gaining trust for his "customers." Again, if you are looking for a professional choreographer PLEASE DO NOT HIRE JESUS ESTRADA FOR YOUR EVENTS! YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED ! If for whatever reason you ended up paying a deposit or more, please STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT GET IT BACK ! The staff will either not answer you or will keep delaying time for a "refund." THIS "BUSINESS" IS A FRAUD !!!

My daughter started dance class and after about a month, 3 out of 5 children quit…read more The studio is pretty small, they only have two dance rooms and there is a waiting area in the front by the desk. I would say that this place is kind of dirty and needs a good vacuuming and dusting. There is also a room in the back with a rod to hang jackets and some cubby holes and some chairs. There is a paid parking lot a few stores down. I don't know what's going on that all of your students quit and you're left with one student, but now my daughter doesn't want to go anymore with only one other child in the class. I would also say that the music is not age appropriate , maybe you should stick to music with no lyrics? Teacher played songs with lyrics about sex and mental illnesses: Sweet But A Psycho, Despacito and Call Me Senorita: All about sex, whether or not it's in English or Spanish. Mr. and Mrs. Demaira are certainly nice enough people but you guys need to watch your teachers better. But it does make me wonder why everyone is quitting your class all of a sudden.

Not to mention there is open enrollment throughout the year for a very affordable price. There are many different events throughout the year such as Halloween parties, Christmas parties, a parade, and a few holiday performances followed by the big spring recital at the end of the year. My daughter wasn't able to perform in the holiday shows because I enrolled her right beforehand but we're looking forward to enjoying a full year of dance here in 2019! The highlight of my daughter's week is attending hip hop/ballet class, she can never wait to go back!

Marcela is such a sweet person, energetic and fun! I still remember the first time I tried Zumba…read morehaving no idea whether I would be a fit for dancing. But with a caring and motivating teacher, my worries were superfluous. I was lucky I met Marcela. In her class, she demonstrates the moves step by step to new students and keeps an eye on every student's progress. We all feel welcomed and encouraged. The point is, we fall in love with Zumba coming at least twice a week, because feelings don't lie: the body just wants more before it feels relaxed and energized. Another intoxicating thing about Marcela's class is the exotic music. Same music and same routine, so we can be familiar with the moves before we continue to explore more. Thanks for nice memories, Marcela!

After moving from the city a friend recommended this dance studio. My daughter had tried another…read moreplace in Chicago when she was two and she seemed much more comfortable at the Dance Center of La Grange. She began pre-ballet classes when she was three and now she is four and in the tap and ballet class. There is always more than one teacher and in the afternoon classes we had three teachers (which was great). The recital did not require overpriced costumes and it was broken into different age groups (3 recitals rather than one super long recital). We have had a very positive experience at this dance studio. Honestly any sport or activity before the age of four can be challenging for everyone and Miss Robin works hard to help the children and parents.

This is not the place for little ones!…read more My 2 1/2 year old was in the pre-ballet summer session and on the first day she started to cry when I left the room and was trying to leave. So, I brought her back to the circle and sat down with her. Ms. Robin yelled across the studio that I couldn't sit there and this is not a mommy and me class. She said I should let her cry and leave the room. However, every time I tried my daughter followed me and was able to open the door to come out. The teachers made zero effort to engage her or keep her in the studio. At that point Ms. Robin said I could sit in the corner with her and observe quietly. We sat and watched and still the teachers made no effort to include her in the class. They acted as if we were not there. After class Ms. Robin said not to worry and that some times it can take a whole session for them to get used to the class. The 2nd week it was more of the same. My daughter didn't want to participate and didn't want me to leave so we again watched from the side and were completely ignored by the teachers. Later that night Ms. Robin sent me an email saying that we can come to one more class but if my daughter cannot separate and stay in the class on her own we can't come to class and she will give me a partial refund. Never in my life have a heard of a 2 year old being kicked out of any recreational activity b/c of separation anxiety!

She did not attend any classes that month. I thought she could use this money towards July. I called to discuss this with someone who worked there, and nobody returned my phone call. I did not hear from someone until 2 weeks later demanding my card be on file, and stating my daughter will be dropped from the class after attending 2 classes. I even offered to pay the 17 dollars since they prorated June. So basically they wanted me to pay 51 dollars for one class in June. Also they advertise giving one free complimentary class, to see if your child loves it or not. That was honestly a whole fairytale as well. I don't know where on God's green earth they do business like this. My daughter will be going back to her old dance school, where they are parent friendly and welcoming to their dancers. I guarantee you will not receive it at Transcendance.
