My daughter isn't a dancer, but we've been coming to your performances as one of our favorite holiday traditions since she was 5 and she's now 11. Your production values get better every year and it's so special to have this incredible, intimate and affordable option to see the Nutcracker. The skill and passion throughout every aspect of this production are apparent, your ticketing is user-friendly and everything is very well organized. While I never have a dancer in your shows, I always tear up a few times thinking of all the hard work and training that goes into each performance. There is something so powerful about the way you tell this lovely story through music and dance. Thank you for all you do for promoting fine arts in the Northshore; it is much appreciated!!

I have been going here almost my whole life. I cannot express the family I have made in my time…read morehere! The instructors make an effort to connect with you on a personal level and I have become close to many of them. They really care about technique here and, as I have visited other studios, I have noticed that DMA does a really spectacular job. Not only this, but they are really well-rounded. You can get a quality education in ballet, jazz, modern, musical theater, tap, and hip hop with teachers that are great in their field. They are home to even some professionally-affiliated companies like the Chicago Repertory Ballet Youth Ensemble which I was a part of for 2 years, and the Trifecta Youth Ensemble which I have been a part of for a while. No matter what style you're interested in, they have something for you. They have a musical theater program that brings in agents and gives help with self taps from working actors, they have a ballet conservatory, they have hip hop companies, a tap company, jazz company, and a modern company, as well as a mini Glenbrook South poms "prep" company and an Edgebrook All-Stars poms "prep" company. If you just want to take classes with no companies, they have that, too. Don't be fooled, just because they have many different styles doesn't mean they are lesser quality, because DMA puts care into every style they have. As a mainly ballet-lover, I am able to do a variation (dance) en pointe as well as be in the modern company. It's great because even though I did not like ballet as a kid, I grew to love it in the classes I took and was able to decide to take more of them because of the opportunities here. I was even able to go to the YAGP National FInals in Tampa because of the fantastic ballet company. Needless to say, please consider DMA. I am close to being a senior in high school and will cherish the time I had here. I really feel well-prepared as a dancer and a person because of my time here. They really instill in you that a dancer is worth more than their body, the titles they won, or what style they do. To us, dance is an art form and a sport. I have loved it here and feel like a part of a family. Please consider coming here! (also I know there are some negative reviews from a while ago but the place has come under new management)

Supreme is a wonderful dance studio with a lot of heart and enthusiasm for what they do. I cannot…read morefathom the number of performances the Supreme kids do on a monthly basis, but each performance is done with passion and gumption. The owners of the studio, Gino and Elmo, as well as the variety of staff teachers have a lot to do with that. They have fostered a wonderful positive culture here at Supreme and it really pays off. If you're looking for a place to send your kids to get into hip-hop choreography, Supreme is my number one recommendation in the Chicagoland area. They deal with young children to high schoolers, so as long as your kid is old enough to walk and talk and young enough to not be able to legally buy lottery tickets, you can send them here! I myself am NOT a kid, contrary to popular belief, so you might be wondering what exactly Supreme has to offer since it's primarily a place for youth instruction. Well, the studio is a top-tier choice for various pop-up classes, workshop sessions, and team rehearsals due to their low rates, accessibility, and fantastic customer service. This place is like home to me because of the hundreds of rehearsals and classes I've been to here. It can also be rented out for non-dance events as well; just inquire about it. The one downside of the studio is the neighborhood. This isn't a problem with the studio itself, but the neighborhood is extremely uptight and FREQUENTLY makes noise complaints to the Skokie police when stuff goes past a certain time. The neighbors have been super problematic from my experience and kind of frustrating; it's not a nice experience when the cops are showing up once a month because of a noise complaint. Can't really do much about this though; the boomers just need to deal with it. You will not find a better recommendation from me for a youth dance studio in the area. Please go and support this wonderful studio!
