The dedication, love, and thoughtfulness of the instructors, especially Mr. Dillon, create a warm and inviting atmosphere. All the staff are fantastic. The owner, Ms Anne Marie, is amazing --passionate, caring, and a true steward of the community. I appreciate the convenient two-way mirrors so parents can watch practice without being a distraction. The recitals are memorable and showcase the incredible progress of the students. AMA offers a variety of programs and dance and music classes for all ages, including adults. We are immensely grateful for the confidence and camaraderie the studio has instilled in our girls. AMA Dance Studio is a fantastic place for children to learn, grow, and shine!

We just recently started at AMA and our experience here is far more than I expected. The owner was…read morevery accomodating and very professional. She answered all of My questions promptly. She tried her best to pace my girls who are ages 5 and 7 in the same class to keep each other company since they are both shy in the beginning. She emails me feedback and photos after each class. And my kids just loves being there too! This place is top notch! I highly recommend it!!!

Move the Beat is a fantastic, welcoming, an energetic and friendly dance studio that is worth a…read moretrip even if you're in the city. We worked with Natalie and Krystal to learn a choreographed tango for our first dance at our wedding and they were so full of enthusiasm and warmth all throughout that we knew we were at the best place to create something special and memorable. We were looking for a location primarily in Chicago to learn a choreographed wedding dance just a month out from the special day. Due to the time constraint, most places were skeptical or only wanted to teach the basics. We were referred to Natalie and from the first introduction, you can tell she would not only be fun but also invested in your success and confidence when it comes to the performance. At times, it also felt like a collaboration as Natalie was always open to incorporating our ideas and also didn't shy from challenging us to go bigger with moves we might not have considered but she believed we could accomplish. We switched to working with Krystal midway as Natalie recovered from a broken ankle (but who still showed up!) and it was a seamless transition. We also got extra practice time thanks to Natalie's husband, who also helped capture video, opening the studio while there was a winter storm. There are not enough compliments to give the Move the Beat family for how personable and genuine they all are. Come wedding day, we felt prepared, comfortable and excited to dance thanks to the creativity and instruction from Move the Beat. Their ability to break down, encourage, fine-tune and guide you through everything was natural and great. Well worth the visit from the city!

I was nervous going into the first lesson because neither of us have any experience, but Cinnamon made both of us SO comfortable. Not only did we learn some good moves (and easily learned them too due to Cinnamon's amazing teaching style), but Cinnamon also helped us choose our first dance song (something that I have actively been trying to choose for the last 2 years (not exaggerating here)). He asked us a couple questions, read our energy, and played a song...right then and there, I knew it was the one we had to go with! But most importantly, Cinnamon made it FUN. My fiancé and I left our first lesson feeling more connected than ever and so excited for our wedding. I can't wait for our next lesson!

It's very different than my regular Gym classes. It teaches you a series of choreographies that they put together. And you get to dance to the almost the whole song at the end of the class They do have a few different classes I know there's a Tom's class a lyrical class some has floor work in them and it would tell you on the description so you are aware. They also build community is so it's a great way to meet new people and have new friends. I love it because everyone Hypes ever everyone up you don't have to be a great dancer to be able to join the class it's a judgment free zone when you're in class.

She is great at reading the room, challenging the group and then giving a simpler dance to let you regain your bearings.

My wife-to-be had little experience with formal dancing as well, so I knew we needed some teaching. I looked around the Internet with the desire to have more personal lessons versus a studio setting. We were so glad to find Michael. We took five lessons with him in preparation of our first dance. He put us at ease, was clear in what he was teaching, honest with criticisms (but nice about it!), and when we weren't dancing just a really down-to-earth, funny guy. We always looked forward to our lessons. He was also so easy to communicate with about setting times for our lessons. I got them as a gift for Valentine's Day and he even created custom 'coupons' I could give to my wife. When the big day came, we were confident and ready for our dance. We got a lot of compliments on our skills (all my family and friends who know me well were pretty surprised). We learned so much! Now whenever we're out at a bar or something we get on the dance floor and actually seem to know what we're doing. What a change! Thank you Michael.

Michael was very patient, knowledgeable about his craft, and down to earth. On our wedding day both dances were beautiful:) We truly enjoyed our lessons with Michael before our big day and would highly recommend him!
