    I am so happy I discovered CSOD 3 years ago! the people at CSOD have become a second family to me…read more the training is top quality. we are here for life

    Location. Studio is sandwiched between a gambling place and a restaurant. Parking not great. You'll…read moreoften find beer bottles in parking lot. People smoking by studio door. Not the greatest location for a dance studio for girls. Staff. Cierra is the owner. She uses a yelling teaching method. I've seen kids coming out after class crying. Many kids (my own included) felt bad after class. Her conduct is why most people leave the studio. Tina is her mother & the face of the studio. You'll often hear Tina gossiping about other dance moms, kids and well her own family. Everyone is fair game. There are days you can walk into the studio and Tina is delightful. There are days you can walk in and she's in a bad mood and EVERYONE feels it. Classes. I originally signed up because I was told she did Saturday classes. That lasted 1 summer. When I'd ask about Saturday classes she said they didn't work in her studio due to no demand. Not a great class schedule for working parents. Competition Team. We really did enjoy the exposure to what competition dance scene looked like. Our 1st year on the team there were only 6 kids. Cierra really worked with this team and the dances were polished, clean and exciting to watch. The 2nd year the team tripled in size. Cierra was clearly in over her head. Dances not run enough to offer feedback or repetitive practice. Dances at 2nd year competition we're not stage ready. It was clear she needed more time to work with dancers. She didn't come up with solutions to offer the girls more opportunities by bringing in more help or offering another day so they had more time. Her ego gets in the way of what is best for her students. Events. She does studio parties. Those used to be free for company members and now it's a $20 fee. She participates in a parade. That usually requires heavy parent requirements. My favorite events were the Chicago Sky & Joliet baseball game. Events are unorganized. Parents would grumble about the late notifications and bad info. *Tip - Stay with your child at events. Cierra will say she's got everything under control and will bring your child back to you after the performance. She literally lost my child at the Chicago Sky stadium and didn't bring her back to the seats. A security guard brought her to me before I realized what happened. Be prepared to celebrate Tina/Cierra regularly. They have expectations that the dance family go big or go home when they want a celebration. Cierra will never thank you. If you provide her a gift at Christmas or heavily participate in her birthday extravaganza-there is never a thank you. You eventually realize that they simply expect people to bend over backwards for them. It's wild at the things they will ask for. COVID. I found her Zoom classes boring. She did zero creative items to keep kids engaged. I watched other studios online really keep their clients engaged and connecting. We watched Cierra for weeks sitting at her kitchen table via Zoom barking at our kids. We stopped Zooming in. It was daunting & boring. Final straw. I watched 5 families leave this studio in 1 year. That's HUGE turnover! The theme was the conduct & unprofessional behavior from Cierra and Tina. I have wanted to leave early in our 2nd year but vowed to finish our commitment on the competition team. Covid hit. Competitions and recital canceled. The parents all were anxiously awaiting refunds from recital costumes and competitions that canceled. Cierra put in writing to me that she never purchased costumes and never paid one the competitions. I was owed a refund of $285. She told me she spent all of that money on her personal bills and wouldn't be giving me a refund. I was supposed to accept that she needed to pay her bills and I basically needed to be fine forfeiting this money to her. So my advice is to RUN! She's a con artist. She will fraudulently spend parents money. You'll never get a proper invoice from her. She has no moral compass and runs an unethical business. The warning signs are all there. This studio is toxic. There are a MILLION studios out there. Do not go here. You'll find not many people stay here very long. Trust me when I say she is not a role model for young girls. Not unless you think stealing, unethical behavior and horrible conduct are values you'd like instilled in your child.

    This may sound like a glowing commercial, but as a parent of a student at this dance studio, I feel…read morecompelled to share just how wonderful it is. If you're searching for a dance studio that caters to everyone from first-time dancers to high school seniors aspiring to have a professional career in dance, this is the place for you. We recently attended the year-end dance showcase, and it was like watching a live, spectacular performance from the later rounds of "So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD). You know, the point in the season where the dancers are exceptional, looking like professionals and performing beautifully crafted routines? That's exactly what we experienced. Melissa, a professional dancer and now owner of the studio, has transformed her passion for dance into a studio where others can learn and grow. The teachers and guest choreographers (some names below are former contestants on SYTYCD), including Imani, Jacob, Trevor, Sydney, Jody, Abbey, Scott, Kaela, Patrick, Robert, Channing, Sienna, and Caroline, all bring their own professional skills and artistic visions to the studio. So, whether you have an 8-year-old who's never danced before or a 16-18-year-old on the path to a dance scholarship, look no further. Thank you, Envision team, for everything you do!

Through dedication, discipline and healthy constructive critiques, EDC will help build your child's confidence and self-esteem as well as provide professional dance education to prepare for a future in professional dance. Most importantly, EDC will do this while providing a schedule that offers balance to you and your family.

My daughter has danced at Inspire for over 8 years and is on their Company team. She loves every minute of it! The love and devotion of each dancer, high-level training, second-to-none instructors, caliber of outside choreographers, and access to dance experiences outside the studio cannot be matched.

    For a few different reasons, I want to keep my review anonymous, as it can be a bit of a conflict…read moreof interest for me. But with that said, Inspire is nationally known for creating world-class dancers. I have seen countless performances and videos of their work, and I am never let down by the technique, versatility, and advanced skill and artistry. I have had contacts/friends from inspire for over a decade, and I have seen so much growth from the company. They were always talented, as Anne Forrest knows how to train dancers, but they have started working with top-notch choreographers, which highlights the dancers' versatility and technique. I have never been a student at Inspire, so I can't speak on the culture or environment of the studio. But what i can say is that Anne knows what she's doing and know have to train technically-advanced and marketable dancers. Due to their reputability, they have kind of become a pre-professional company. This is a testament to the talent and training of the studio, but I also know that this is not for everyone, as some people aim to utilize dance as a hobby or outlet rather than a career path. With that said, a dancer will definitely get an advanced dance education here, and that can be hard to find nowadays. If you look into Inspire's graduates and their accomplishments, you will for sure see why they are so well-respected and nationally recognized. Another additive for some is that the studio is kind of a hidden gem... they are well-respected and very competitive, but they are not a studio that is all about social media presence and fame. this has upsides and downsides, but in the the long run, this is beneficial for your child's progression, privacy, and learning environment. All in all, Inspire is known for incredible training, and any child that is passionate about dance would benefit so much from attending.
