I could not recommend this studio more! My daughter has been dancing at TDL for years now, and I am…read morethankful to send her to a studio with amazing instructors who emphasize technique and integrity.

I've taken many different classes here and will continue to in the future. Overall, I've seen…read moreimprovements in my physical health, mental health, dance skills, and confidence. Quick info: Small classes All women, age 18 and up No drama Pole dancing focus Other dance/fitness classes Drop-in's okay for certain classes Affordable The main focus is on pole dancing classes but this studio is not just limited to pole dancers. They offer other classes for dance and physical fitness, such as Flex Appeal (flexibility) and At The Barre (adult beginner ballet). They allow drop-in's for certain classes that are affordable, in case you want to try a class that's not pole dancing and don't want to commit to buying a whole class session up front. They also offer a virtual "punch card" online so you can try different classes. There's no drama here: the students and instructors are women aged 18 and up. All shapes, sizes, and fitness levels come here. No one is too big or too old. The classes are small and the instructors can decrease or increase the challenge of the class for your own personal needs. I like that I am encouraged to strive to be better but am not pressured to keep up with the girl next to me. Everyone's goals, needs, and abilities are different.

Honestly one of the best workouts you will get in Palatine - and you can't find a better value for…read moreyour workout anywhere! Walk-in prices have gone up $1 to $6/class since the pandemic, but that's still an amazing value. The workouts really push you, but are also quite adaptable. There are people (mainly women, although the occasional man) of all ages and fitness levels in the classes and the energy is great. Perfect for someone looking for a fun way to get back into shape or someone who has been working out for a while and wants to add something new to the rotation. I had done Zumba before, but none were quite like this - and I mean that in a good way! I had driven by for years before attending and this studio is truly a local gem!

We moved and were so sad to have to leave such a great dance studio. We tried another place and decided we would make the drive back to Palatine just to get back to Borne 2 Dance! Not only do they have a great dance program, they are involved in the community. They have a great family atmosphere and we are proud to be a part of it.

This is the opposite of "Dance Mom" hyper competitive style dance classes. Instead, the teachers are kind and gentle, while still allowing the kids to learn and grow as dancers. My kids have gained confidence and maturity, as well as dance expertise. I can't imagine sending them anywhere else.

Taking a dream and turning it into reality is not always easy, but Brittany has managed this with tremendous success and it is reflected in her dancers!

I cannot say enough good things about this studio. My son and daughter have been dancing here for…read moreyears. We moved out of the area a while ago and but still drive the distance to continue at this studio. My son (14) and daughter (9) will not even consider going anywhere else. They love it here. The new owner is one of the kindest people I have met. All the teachers have a true love for dance, and it shows in their teaching. This studio focuses on proper technique to avoid injury and create beautiful dancers. The spring recital is the cherry on top. Instead of watching a million individual dances by class level, NWBA puts on an actual ballet. The costumes, sets and lighting is top notch. My kids love feeling part of a show and dancing with other levels. They get a taste of what a professional ballet dancer gets to do. For family and friends in the audience following a ballet story is way more enjoyable than a traditional recital.

You can…read moreenroll with complete confidence due to NWBA's impressive professional teachers, high quality dance productions, and many dance art forms (Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Tap, Character, Cecchetti, & Yoga). NWBA is a family run, caring studio where teachers and students support and encourage thoughtful development and solid ballet technique. My family has been dancing with NWBA since the doors opened in 1985 when I started my ballet journey, I've recommended friends, and now my daughter studies at NWBA from an early age. Of course their children/young adult programs are great, but they also have fantastic Adult Ballet classes where the teachers will actually teach and support you at whatever level you desire. I highly recommend this 5+ star dance studio!

Couldn't ask for better teachers for helping my wife and I get comfortable with our wedding dance…read more Victoria had been our main instructor from our first lesson and got to know us personally and made sure to understand what we wanted to gain from our dance lessons. She has an amazing energy that she brings to every lesson. Once we started to get our dance down she started to make small changes to really make it come to life. We couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Daniel and Riley also jumped in to help us with our dance and gave some great small adjustments to make. This studio has more instructors who will also watch and help make adjustments and give you advice. I'm forgetting all the names to mentions but everyone there is so friendly and helpful you can't go wrong with anyone. Overall this experience was amazing and we got some many compliments at our wedding about our first dance and that's all thanks to everyone here who worked with us. We were so happy with the dance and the confidence it gave us going on the dance floor in front of 160 people. I would tell anyone getting married to come here and take some dance lessons. Even if you don't want a full choreographed first dance, come here to get comfortable and learn a few basic dance moves to help you look and feel great. A big thank you again to Victoria, Daniel, Riley, and everyone else who helped us!
