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!

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.

I stopped by to visit the studio after over a year and a half of not being there. I was a little nervous to come in, but that changed as soon as I walked through the door. The staff is so welcoming and watching the students and teachers dance was so touching. Fred Astaire Long Grove shares true love and passion for the art of dance. The students eyes were shining as they were learning new skill and the teachers were very encouraging. Walking into this studio makes you feel welcomed, comfortable and eliminates any of your insecurities. No one is a great dancers right of the bat, but everyone has a chance to learn to become one. There is no reason why you can't be a great dancer, performer, all you need is dedication, perseverance and love for this art. Fred Astaire Long Grove staff will provide you with the rest. The atmosphere alone is a reason to visit this place. Who knows maybe it will enrich your life.

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!

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!
