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.

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.

Lisa couldn't have been more exact. Every week my daughter can't wait to work with Stuart. He's so positive, fun and supportive AND she can actually play...really play! Since starting piano her interest in other instruments and music has grown. She has picked up the flute and the ukelele. Musical Chairs is able to provide lessons for these instruments, too. Rather than some big, over crowded music school, Musical Chairs is very personal and supportive with many ways for kids to explore music and perform. And the per lesson fee is very reasonable. Making up missed classes is also flexible per the teacher's schedule. I look forward to my daughter growing with Musical Chairs.

We signed up for the 4 week beginner salsa class…read more Alex, the building owner and lead instructor, and his co-instructor (whose name is somehow escaping me) were the nicest and most welcoming people. The progress we made in just 4 lessons was truly amazing. My fiancé did NOT like dancing nor the idea of dance classes (especially salsa) before we signed up but even he enjoyed it and was happy we did it. The studio was also very understanding and accommodating when we had to postpone our final dance class several weeks due to some personal circumstances. The prices are extremely reasonable. If you are looking for a good beginner dance class before your wedding, would highly recommend. Street parking in the area can be hit or miss but we never had to drive around the block more than a few times to find a spot nearby.

We attended six classes over eight weeks or so, which for us, worked out great. My dance skills are limited at best, but Alex put us at ease right away - he asked about the song we chose, our experience, and anything specific we had in mind for the dance. We deferred to the expert, and he choreographed a beautiful dance for us. He also gave us opportunities to provide feedback or revisit parts of the dance. It really made us feel comfortable and excited about the finished product leading up to our wedding - the peace of mind was invaluable. Alex is a patient, kind and understanding teacher. Highly recommend. My wife and I will definitely be back. Thank you, Alex!

The classroom itself was nurturing and fun, but what truly made it special were the directors, Candace and Christine. They made sure both my daughter's needs and my needs as a parent were always met. I felt supported and heard, and most importantly, I watched my daughter grow and thrive. After a move, she transitioned to the Logan Square location, and I was honestly nervous about the change. But I had nothing to worry about; the transition was smooth, and she continued to blossom. Her readiness for kindergarten has improved tremendously, and more than just academic skills, she's gained so much confidence in herself. The team at Logan Square has been amazing. Brittni, Megan, and Nina have gone above and beyond to make sure my daughter is safe, happy, and learning every single day. Knowing she's in such loving and capable hands while I'm at work gives me total peace of mind. She comes home excited to share what she learned and full of joy, and as a parent, that's everything. Thank you, Children's Learning Place, for being such a positive and foundational part of my daughter's early education journey!
