    My three year old daughter loves this school. She looks forward to coming every week. She has fun and her teacher is friendly and sweet!

    Looking for a great dance studio for your little one? Keep looking, this isn't it. BUT if you're…read morehaving a nice day and want someone to crap all over you, ask for Dana. I left a voicemail inquiring about their outdoor classes for my 6 y/o daughter. I got a call back from Dana the owner. She provides some info and starts answering my questions--k, so far so good. But when she asked if I wanted to be in a group chat for parents and I said I wasn't ready, that's when things took a turn. "I don't think you're calling for your daughter." Uhhhh... Then, she demanded to know how I heard about them and the names of who referred me. The TikTok drama effect music was basically playing with the amount of paranoia she hit me with. I started questioning my life like "Do I even have a daughter? Should I have breastfed longer? Did I leave the stove on?" Not sure what dots she connected that made her think I was calling from some program, but I hope she's good at pirouettes because her moonlighting as a conspiracy theorist isn't panning out. My advice? Take your daughter elsewhere--unless of course you aren't calling for your daughter.

    I pass by here all the time and decided to stop in for the KPop class. It was a lot of fun.

This class starts a new song every couple of weeks so they break the song into pieces and build each week. We showed up week 3 out of 4 and were still able to pick up the prior moves. For this class we payed $10 prior to the class and signed a waiver. I'd recommend following them on social media (Instagram or Facebook) to get updates on the class offerings.

    I have heard of Filament--a small storefront, black box theater in Irving Park--from my days as an…read moreusher for the Saints, but hadn't ever visited. It's only in the last couple of weeks that I learned they're a children's theatre. Their mission is somewhat radical, to be honest--adultism as a form of oppression and the need to eradicate it. I totally dig it, and what a thought-provoking place from which to produce programming and events. We went for Forts!, which seems to be a perennial experience here at Filament. Although it seems like just a time for kids to play, it is structured. There's a portion of the event where the kid just get to knock down the boxes. Then they bring down some sheets and blankets for the kids to drape over their forts and make them more fort-like. There are couches littered about the place for children and adults alike. Throughout the rest of the performance they add other elements like flashlights, music, and so on. My babe had fun and I'd bring her again when she's older, as I assume this will return. I'm keeping an eye on Filament for future plays and events so that I can enjoy some time at the theatre with my girl.

    Filament Theatre is a cool little place for kids to catch a play. It has a cycling schedule of…read moreshows and seems to cater to you a younger audience. It is intimate and the 30 or so seats are arranged in a circle around the interactive stage. The theatre is located on Milwaukee Avenue in Portage Park and there is plenty of meter parking. We saw "The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles" which was a very unique performance. In the middle of the room is a large sandbox and the kids all sit on pillows and get to play with the sand during the show. The actors were all very talented and they story was interesting. It lasted about 1.5 hours and was the perfect length for youngsters. There was lots of audience interaction to keep the kids engaged. They also do acting lessons here and a variety of camps. There are many options on their website so check that out. Pricing was pretty affordable and they have many options. I highly recommend checking out a play here if you have little kids who show an interest in theatre.
