Until I'd come to the Bollywood Rhythms class and had met this beautiful, fun-loving,…read morefull-of-energy crowd, I didn't realized that I needed some fresh air in my life, shall we say, a new bold move :-) People are just great and the instructor is fantastic! Routines she creates and teaches are amazing, really fun to learn and challenging. I would say she teaches not only moves, but the dancer attitude as well and it really matters. Never thought that in so no time I can get so much dancing skill, fun, energy and so many new awesome friends! Dancing is my passion and Bollywood Rhythms completes my search for the perfect platform to express myself through dance. I love the classes and the people. I've been to one of their dance shows (Annual Recital Program) and it was awesome experience to witness it. The coordination they had between close 100 dancers was eye pleasing. This is the best dance studio in Chicago..

I cannot speak highly enough of Clint and the Swing Assembly band, but I'm going to try…read more From the moment we booked them, every question, every concern, every comment was answered within 24 hours. They were prompt with responses and knowledgeable with their recommendations, and very accommodating to our (many) requests (even going as far to lend us a microphone and speakers for the ceremony). As for the night itself... I think every single wedding guest made it a point to compliment us on the band. Their song selection was spot on, keeping interest from all the generations present and the keeping the dance floor packed until the night ended. And while it probably goes without saying, they are all outstandingly talented musicians (and how awesome is it to have both a male and female lead singer?). I highly recommend this band for anyone looking to liven up an event at what I think is a steal of a price.

This band is incredible!! If I could give them more stars, I would! My husband and I decided to…read morehave a 1920s themed wedding and were looking for a band that would help create the swanky atmosphere that we envisioned for our event! Once we heard Swing Assembly, we knew our search was over! Our guests entered the venue to the sounds of the most exquisite jazz trio, were escorted through dinner by a jazz quartet complimented by a muted trumpet, and danced the night away to the swinging sounds of the incredibly talented ensemble and the two epic singers!!! Their music kept our dance floor packed all night (from the older aunts and uncles to our college friends to the tweens) and our guests are still talking about the band! I have to also mention that Cliff was incredibly easy to work with and super professional!! He had the band arrange a special song for my dad and I and he was a great MC!!! If you are looking for an amazing band for any event, look no further!! As Cole Porter would say, "They're the tops!"

Our family members in Illinois treated us to seeing Million Dollar Quartet for Christmas & it did…read morenot disappoint. The immersive experience into the evolution of Sun Studios & the birthplace of Rock n' Roll did not disappoint. Our group included 4 kids ages 6-11 & 10 adults ages 30's to late 70's. Everyone had a great time. I was the only one with prior knowledge of Sun & its legacy, but everyone learned something new. The actors/ musicians playing Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins & Johnny Cash were amazing (and a few were even understudies). The guy who played Sam Phillips was brilliant. Everything about it was well done & I highly recommend it. Theater is nice & right by River. This play was very limited seating(100 or less people). Parking garage is right next door (they beware the parking spots are very tight for SUVs!).

This is such a gem, everyone around me was excited, not only for the band, but they seem to genuinely enjoy the venue too.

What it lacks in size, it makes up for in extremely high quality displays with very attractive panels that provide detailed stories and videos to supplement some of the items. This museum also uses the wall space very efficiently, packing plenty of artifacts and information without much space between each item. Though most of the information is in one room, it takes quite a while to read through everything which provides a great sense of important people and buildings throughout St. Charles' history.

One enters through the gift shop; there is a timeline set up that one follows through the room, with several standalone glass cases, and a few cases shoved up against the walls behind the railing showing the timeline. A few costumes (half a dozen) are featured, including a reproduction Civil War uniform and some authentic World War 1 uniforms, a flapper dress and a dress Miss USA 1977 wore during her reign. Standout pieces include an old dentist's chair with various items from a dental office and a beautiful woven cane baby carriage with beautiful lace trim on the canopy. Do spend a minute to stop at the tiny pickle display to read about how St. Charles was the Pickle Capital of the World, even though no pickles were ever made there. There's also some very nice cut glass in a small display. A couple of pianos and a traveling trunk are jammed into the foyer. When there are visitors they turn on several different documentaries; one, from WTTW, includes a fairly interesting bit on Garfield Farm down the road on the 38. There's a lot of information jammed in here, and I came away with an appreciation for all the various industries that once called St. Charles home, but not a good overall picture. They just need more space. Still, donations are voluntary only,they're not getting any support from the city, and they're only asking for two bucks.

This was the ceremony site of a friends wedding and it was a great choice. Very cute little cathedral with very high ceilings that connected at an angle. The father speaks Lithuanian so he can perform a dual language ceremony for you (and apparently they have classes in the language here as well). Beyond the cathedral this place is huge! Classrooms, bathrooms, a bathroom with a tub and shower, a kitchen, a beautician on site, a banquet hall, and a dining room that leads out onto a lawn with extra seating. We had the rehearsal dinner here with traditional Lithuanian food, wine and beer catered in (so alcohol is allowed). Definitely a place to keep in mind if you are looking for traditional Lithuanian. i sveikata!

It's perfect for kids -- pony rides, train ride, paddle boats, playgrounds and little farm animals to see.

Everything was clean and the staff were patient and kind with the kids. It's a calmer vibe than big amusement parks so parents can actually relax while the kids play. Great for younger ages especially. Such a good spring/summer activity and worth the price for how long you can stay and how much they can do. We'll definitely keep this in our regular rotation
