To sign up, you must purchase private lessons and within the package, you are invited to attend group dance classes as well. There are typically at least two private sessions going on at any given time along with a group session. Throughout our six sessions, we were paired with three different instructors - Austin, Ben, and Mitchell who were all 5-star professionals. We have primarily danced with Austin in our private lessons and working with him is such a pleasure. He asks questions like are you here to become a professional? For a big event coming up? Or for fun? Either way, all team members treat you with the utmost respect as this is their chosen craft. They are attentive to every part of their student's body to set you up for success to be the best dancer you can be. In our first group dance class, there was myself, my partner, and two other pairs of partners there. This is a great part of training for dance because you rotate partners around the class and therefore learn to take smaller or larger movements based on your new partner. Pro-tip for parking: park on N Marshfield Ave after 6 PM for free parking. I can always find a spot there - it is a quiet side street.

We were partnered with the loveliest of instructors, who is always upbeat and encouraging, which is just what we needed as newcomers to the world of dance. We could only afford the beginner's package which consists of four dances, but they allow us to add on individual classes down the road if we need a refresher prior to wedding day. Highly recommend!

Yoga Sound Bath Experience I've been regularly attending the…read moreyoga sound bath sessions as a complement to dance classes. Matthew has thoughtfully designed each session to be a high class experience, from the moment you walk in - you're greeted by a beautiful open space, mats, bolsters, blocks, weighted eye masks, and blankets. There's a printed card which covers the details of each session provided ahead of the class that outlines the experience. The session itself is calming, deep, and a much needed disconnect from the chaos of the outside world. Afterwards he offers herbal tea and some of us spend time socializing before heading out. It's a unique experience that benefits busy people with busy lives and offers much needed self care.

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.

My daughter had no problem switching over for tap and ballet. The education is based on the Cuban/Alonso Method and really focuses on dancers using their bodies athletically with balance and minimum harm. The parents have been welcoming, unlike our last school where no one spoke or smiled. Finally, there are two programs a year, and the costuming is included in the fees. Judith, who runs the front desk, does a darling job with the costumes. Also, if you are looking for it there is an ongoing adult ballet class (drop-in) as well.

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!
