    Glenwood Dance Studio - Post-jazz class

    I have found Glenwood Dance Studio to be a much needed component in not only the Far Northside…read moreChicago area, but in the arts community in general. Started by a group of dance students with no extensive professional experience, GDS has managed to cultivate and grow pretty much exactly what a good dance studio should be: a welcoming space with a variety of classes taught by capable and professional instructors. GDS is an adults-only studio which can be nice for students who are in a different headspace than their younger contemporaries. This also means that class times are purposefully created to be accommodating to most's usual 9-5 weekday schedule. There's also plenty to do on the weekends, so you have the option to dance every day if you want to. The bulk of the students tend to be beginners and non-professionals so this can help provide those who have no professional/performative aspirations a less-stressful environment in which to learn. Shy and new dancers don't worry - you're not the only one. However, despite this, GDS is also very welcoming and able to accommodate dance professionals and has had students from various Chicago-land companies come through. The studio is quite small - fairly wide though only roughly 3-4 panels deep, but for the most part (of course depending on enrollment) the teachers do their best to keep it a safe and effective learning experience - even for long-limbed dancers over 6'! I've attended classes at GDS for about seven years now and though I of course take classes elsewhere every now and then, I am happy to call it my dance home.

    LOVE this neighborhood studio. What a refreshing change from a stuffy gym to get in a variety of…read morefun and challenging workouts. The space is beautiful and the staff is friendly and personable. The owners get to know you by first name which puts such a nice personal touch on a workout place. My favorite is 'kickin it cardio' at 6:15 am with Kate. She truly gets you sweating before seven and you just feel great and toned. I also like barre fit on Monday night, it is a great change to my typical workouts. I highly recommend checking out this place!

    Literally the only part of my kids' childhoods I wanted to fast forward through was their time at…read moreDovetail over the last year, previously in classes there it was better tho!. The teacher had the kids sign a contract about commitment, teamwork etc (cool!) my daughter took it super seriously bc she's like that. The teacher himself then proceeded to come late or not show up at class at all (no notice or group txt would even come from dovetail after the fact- we just show up and it would empty the majority of times. After months of this they gave us a $100 credit and 1 email about it. They transitioned it to a new teacher who was really dependable. They told my daughter they "thought we would place in top 10, like 6 or Better." My daughter is type of person who latches onto that so when they didn't place, she felt it more Than needed. It was clear her time at park district (McFeteridge) brought out waaaaay more talent and she grew waaaay more there and with very strong routines. Great artistry from Dovetail tho. Teachers were nice. They txtd us during paid sessions they wanted to walk the kids to 7-11 instead of class time. The other families were nice and we vibed with them- not competitive etc. did pizza with them couple times over year. my wife took a class at dovetail for adults and loved it. My daughter had classes (not completion) that went well and she really loved all the teachers.

They offer classes in ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, acro, kick, technique, and conditioning. The only thing I would suggest is maybe adding classes in pointe, tap, or hiphop?

    I've heard about Chicago's dance history and I was looking forward to learning more about it. For…read moreme in particular, it was the hustle scene. It may not be as big as bigger cities (LA, NY) but I'm glad they had one. Here was my experience here. AMBIANCE: It's in more of a suburban area of Chicago. Relatively close (15 minutes) away from the airport and from downtown. The place itself is on the 2nd floor of a building. It seems like a pretty historic brick building with a spacious layout. The layout is basically one big floor to dance on with ceiling lights and string lights to bright up the place. The class consisted of a lot of talented 40+ which was cool as they had a lot of knowledge to share. The size is great for group practices and socials. Parking - Pretty much just street parking. Customer Service - Awesome! My instructor was Dawn Lara and she was great! Knowledgeable and friendly. I felt pretty welcomed in this place. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. I had a great experience here! The instructors were awesome and my classmates were pretty fun. One of the main things for me was always feeling will people be condescending and whatnot, but the vibes were pretty welcoming here. This was a good start to learning more about the dance community and scene here in Chicago, I just wish I stayed longer to learn more! Advice: * Check out their schedule online and on social media for events.

We have tried other dance schools but Skunkworks is in a league of its own. Our daughter became so invested with classes and all of the camaraderie and positivity that Skunkworks exudes. They not only teach dance techniques but also mentor the students to be become better people. The dance performances by the students has been nothing but amazing. The shows are so well choreographed and performed that my chin dropped the first time I watched. We never knew our daughter even had this talent prior to coming to the school. Her self-confidence has grown stronger since being part of the Skunkworks. We owe it all to Skunkworks for their wonderful influence. We highly recommend Skunkworks!

My daughter has excelled in not only dance, but her confidence and self esteem is at a level most parents don't get to see in this day and age. Jana has not only taught Ceci how to be an amazing dancer (in many disciplines), she has walked/talked her through challenges and skill building that is far beyond anything I've ever seen any studio/company achieve So thrilled for Jana and her company!! Even more thrilled for my daughter! Cheers to you Jana!! Any child would be lucky to join your amazing group of dancers!!
