My daughter has only been going there a little over a year and her goal was to master the cart wheel. Now she can not only do a cart wheel,but she has learned front and back walk overs,head springs and just last night she did her first back flip all on her own. She also takes ballet and jazz and amazes me every day with what she has mastered. Besides the fun she is having she is staying in shape and learning to never give up on herself. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a dance studio for their child. They are very affordable and really care about their students.

5 Stars - Tease Dance & Fitness is a Jewel in Aurora/Naperville!…read more If you're in Aurora, IL or Naperville, IL and looking for a place that blends strength, empowerment, and stunning artistry--look no further than Tease Dance & Fitness. I've had the pleasure of working closely with this powerhouse of a studio, and I can confidently say: these are not only fantastic people, but even better performers and teachers. From the second you step into the studio, you feel it--the warmth, the joy, the unapologetic confidence that this community radiates. Tease isn't just a fitness studio, it's a safe haven where LGBTQ+ individuals, people of all body types, and dancers of every skill level are not just welcomed, but celebrated. Their message is clear: Everyone deserves to feel powerful in their body. Their instructors are simply top-tier. Whether it's burlesque, pole, chair, flexibility, or heels--you're learning from seasoned professionals who are at the top of their game. But what truly sets them apart is their ability to uplift others. They don't just teach movement--they help you reclaim your confidence and own your story through dance. Their commitment to community goes beyond the studio walls. You'll often find Tease performers lighting up the stage at The Bit Theater, just a few doors down in the same Aurora complex. The Bit is known for being a diverse, inclusive comedy and performance venue, and the partnership between the two is a beautiful reflection of shared values: accessibility, authenticity, and a fierce celebration of individuality. I've watched Tease's performers bring down the house with jaw-dropping routines that mix precision with pure personality--and I've seen their teachers guide beginners with patience, humor, and genuine care. That kind of balance is rare, and it's why so many people--from across Aurora and Naperville--flock here not just to train, but to belong. If you're searching for a studio that is inclusive, empowering, LGBTQ+ friendly, and deeply rooted in the Naperville/Aurora performing arts scene, Tease Dance & Fitness is it. Whether you're learning to walk in heels or preparing for the stage, this studio meets you where you are--and then helps you soar. Tease is more than a dance and fitness studio--it's a movement, a family, and a fierce force for good. Highly, highly recommended.

Please don't come here if you actually care about the way your child is treated. Long read but worth it. This was my 5 year old's 1st dance class experience. She is quieter than most kids. She started in February 2025 and her last class was early June 2025. We noticed right away that the instructor, who I believe is the owner, Vienna had little patience with kids but we wanted to stick it out. She is usually running behind on classes so you'll start a few minutes late for a 30 minute class but she makes sure that she's done on time. She's on her phone most of the time & trying to figure out what music to play rather than having it ready before class. When she was showing the kids the recital, she was constantly changing moves & making the dance up on the spot. At the last class my daughter attended, you could tell she wasn't feeling class and not doing her best moves. Vienna kept calling her out and telling the class they had to start over because my daughter was doing it wrong. Naturally, that brought my daughter down & she checked out (understanding since again, she's 5). Vienna kept calling her out the whole 30 minute class then grabbed her arms aggressively to do the move properly, mind you she almost never even acknowledges my daughter the whole time she's been enrolled. My daughter came out very sad telling me she doesn't want to come back & of course I don't want her back there either since I did witness everything. I emailed them the following week letting them know she won't be back & asked when we can get her recital costume since we paid for it & she loves playing dress up. Vienna asked if there was something we can work out so she can do the recital at the end of the month & said we can pick up the costume during open business hours if not. The manager, Camille, who is Vienna's mom called me & left messages. I honestly didn't want confrontation so I figured I would respond once we got the costume with the reason we made this decision. My aunt went to pick up the costume for me & they asked if I can call and confirm that my aunt is allowed to take the costume. When I called and told Camille that it was ok, she asked me what happened. I told her what happened & she got defensive & said kids need to be corrected. I agreed but said not to the extent Vienna went to & my daughter was no longer comfortable coming to their "Housee." She asked what I would do when my daughter was corrected at school & I told her she is already great in school & we don't have issues like this. I then told her that I felt Vienna was aggressive when moving her arms and she said she found that hard to believe. Then Vienna took the phone and said I needed to email that it was ok my aunt take the costume which I was trying to do but then she started yelling and I couldn't even understand what she was saying at this point. I told her I wasn't arguing with her & this is exactly why my daughter wasn't coming back & why I didn't tell them why until I got the costume because I KNEW this kind of situation would happen. My mom took the phone from me and told them this wasn't the time to do this since we were at gymnastics so Vienna put the phone down & Camille hung up on my mom. My aunt was cordial with them the whole time but they were being snippy with her. Then they were talking negatively about a 5 year old while my aunt was right there; saying she never listened anyways (which is not at all true plus she's been in gymnastics a year & has absolutely no issues, never wanted to quit either). Then again infront of my aunt, Camille told Vienna that they shouldn't give my daughter the recital shirt but Vienna said just to give it to her because we paid for it. I've seen and heard them acting this way to kids & parents & was hoping I wouldn't have to do this review but here we are. My family nor my daughter never gave them problems but they don't like being told they're wrong. A simple "I'm sorry you feel that way" would have been fine. Extremely unprofessional & I bet they will respond to this with something passive aggressive like their last negative review. This all just shows what kind of people they are.
