Just arrive early and sign up & pay with the person at the front desk. I've been to the Intermediate Modern and the Beginning Hip-Hop classes. In both, people are very accepting -- I have not gotten any judgmental vibes from other dancers, which is awesome! (Because growing up in the dance world, competition is all around you.) I have been driving here form the northern suburbs, and there is free street parking in the evenings. Just read the street signs & you should be fine!

Amber was exceptional to work with. She helped us with not only one, but two dances (Waltz and…read moreHip-Hop). Thankfully for us, she was experienced in both genres and started out as a Hip-Hop dancer. Amber is fun and also gets the job done. She was mindful of the floor space, the pacing of the dance, and our comfortability with the steps. By the end of our lesson, I felt confident and excited. We received many compliments on our wedding night from the dances. Lots of laughs and memories were also shared in our dance lessons. We now have this beautiful first dance and fun dance to look back on for years to come. If you're wondering whether to take lessons, do it!

Lots of practice and listening to her great instruction later, and we had an awesome first dance! Plus with all she taught us, I even feel comfortable to go out on the dance floor and put what I learned to work on many other songs! I definitely recommend Windy City Wedding dance if you're looking for a fun and knowledgeable instructor to help you through your first dance on your big day.

I entered the studio everybody was so nice from the first minute that I attended classes there everyday 3 weeks long! The teachers are all really professional and push you to your limits, but still they are strict in a caring way and motivate you to keep on working! Joel Hall himself still teaches classes and I attended his Jazz Dance Method, which is really hard work! He himself said: "We're gonna kill you, but you're gonna love it." and that's just the way it is! You develop such an ambition that you keep on stretching and tightening your tummy and it's the best work out you can get! The Jazz, Modern and HipHop classes with Will Gill were absolutely wonderful too! I always did 2 classes in a row, although I was already soaking wet, but he keeps making you want to dance more and more! I can recommend this Dance Center to really everybody! No other dance studio in Chicago makes you feel at home so quickly and every class is worth attending because I've never learned so much technique and also feeling for dancing and music before than I did in this 3 weeks at Joel Hall! I'm gonna miss it in Austria! I hope I'll come back soon!

My only complaint would be that the studio was way too hot and there is no water fountain. I know that studios are supposed to be warm but we were in the room by the front window so it got really hot really fast. I almost passed out only to find that there was no drinking fountain. They do, however, sell water from a refrigerator which was a saving grace. Overall, they were very welcoming and organized, and I would definitely come again!

Love, love, love A Fairytale Ballet…read more I was desperate to find a drop-in ballet class for a visiting three-year-old this summer, a task that is not easy to do in Chicago, despite the plethora of ballet studios for kids in the city. Most require that students sign up for the entire session, and our little one was only going to be in town for two weeks. After consider Yelping, I found A Fairytale Ballet and discovered that they offered summer camp options in the summer. After a brief email correspondence, I learned that A Fairytale Ballet offers a la carte options during the summer, meaning that children can go once or twice a week for as many weeks as they choose. It's perfect for families going on vacation or testing the ballet waters with a little one. What I really love about A Fairytale Ballet is that they bring literature to life. Each week, the summer camp classes focused on a particular story, such as Beauty and the Beast and Angelina Ballerina. The teacher reads parts of the story each day, and then the students act out the scenes from the book with props that they make themselves. For example, during Beauty and the Beast week, the students decorated notebooks with foam letters and stickers, then danced as Belle, visiting the "bookstore." They put on shawls to "search" for their father in the woods. It was such a wonderful way to help expand children's imaginations and instill a love for literature. And the studio! Absolutely adorable! They've painted the walls with bright, colorful murals that just make you happy to be there. They even have a little door for the students to walk through. Parents can watch the class through the windows, which isn't always allowed at ballet studios, but very much appreciated here since we wanted to take lots of pictures. The teachers are wonderful too. Miss Ashley was absolutely delightful - we really appreciated that she approached us after class to tell us how our little one did. And Miss Dana...well, our little one just loved her. I really cannot say enough good things about the teachers, or the studio for that matter.
