My son and I have been attending music classes here for over a year (since he was 10 months old)…read moreand we both look forward to it every week! Celeste is a wonderful teacher, singer, and guitar player, and her classes are perfectly tailored to the ages they serve. The children have opportunities to play, sing, dance, ring bells, beat drums, and much more! In addition to having fun, the kids are also learning -- from sharing, to taking turns, to rhyming and keeping tempo, the kids pick up all sorts of early learning skills through her well-planned weekly lessons. These classes are a very fun, educational, and affordable way to keep little ones busy!

While keeping a similar structure each week, every class offers new games, puppets and songs. Unlike other kid music classes where the teacher simply sings/plays kid-versions of adult songs, Celeste connects deeply with children, at their level, and they grow in surprising ways because of this connection. My children love to move and sing, and I credit Celeste with helping to develop this love of music. I am so grateful for the time we have spent with Everybody Move.

If you want a place where your girls are huffing, puffing, and gasping for breath like the big, bad…read morewolf because they are still forced to wear m-a-s-k-s, if you are more concerned with maintaining p-a-n-d-e-m-i-c standards in normal times,  and if you don't mind your children NOT doing serious ballet for who can really do ballet when they are so focused on huffing and puffing in m-a-s-k-s, then CBA is the dance  place for your children.   Also, if you want a school that is ignoring s-c-i-e-n-t-i-f-i-c data on c-o-v-i-d virus levels and making personal interpretations of the data, CBA is it. Needless to say, I was disappointed by what I saw during their observation week when I went there to find a place for my child next year. But don't worry, I heard that there are other classical ballet studios, one in Highland Park and another one in Schaumburg.

Lynette's School of Dance is a wonderful studio to learn ballet and other types of dance. It is…read morelocated in South Park, Park Ridge and always has easy parking right in front for drop off / pick up. The studio is very inviting and decorated to make the young girls feel at ease when they start to learn to dance. Pricing is on par with other studios in the area. Miss Lorena is an excellent instructor. She is kind and really helps the kids to focus on dancing. Our daughter has really enjoyed learning basic ballet here and she has made some good friends there in the process. They have classes from 3 year olds all the way up to high school, so kids can work their way through the program and stick with the same group of friends. They put on 2 recitals per year and the girls get fancy outfits to wear. It is awesome to see all of their work pay off and perform in front of a large audience of family and friends. I highly recommend Lynette's to help your child learn dance.

I would consider this an average dance studio. My daughter has taken classes here for the past…read moreyear and while she enjoys the class and teacher, I had hoped for more from a dance studio. The preschool classes do not have a limit on the number of kids enrolled which makes the small classroom feel tiny by the spring time (for example, my 4 year old's class started with 10 girls in the fall and ended with 23 girls in the spring, with only 1 teacher and 2 school-age helpers). Miss Lorena is great with the children and is the reason I kept my daughter at the school for the entire year. I will now be looking for a new studio that limits the size of their classes so that my child can actually learn some things about dance.

5/5 -- Big Blue Swim School Has Been Incredible for Our Family…read more We've had an absolutely outstanding experience at Big Blue Swim School, and we want to give a huge shoutout to the amazing team that made all the difference for our children. Our 2-year-old can sometimes struggle with new instructors, and there was a moment where he didn't want to get in the water at all. Brex, Josh, and Xzenia went above and beyond to turn the entire situation around. Their patience, energy, and compassion completely changed the day -- within minutes, he was not only comfortable but laughing, splashing, and having fun. It was such a heartwarming transformation to watch. We also want to give a special side shoutout to Ross, who consistently goes out of his way to accommodate our scheduling needs. He always helps us find class times and instructors that work best for our family, and that level of thoughtfulness truly means a lot. Big Blue has become such a positive part of our weekly routine thanks to the incredible staff. We're so grateful for everything they do and highly recommend them to any family looking for a caring, encouraging, and professional swim school.

The kids love the lessons (or we would have quit long ago), and I love how easily you can start/stop weekly lessons and pick right up where you left off. I also love that the app shows you exactly what skills they're working on and when they've mastered something. My only complaint is that I wish they made it clearer what age/height requirements there are to move to the next level. Sometimes it can feel like your kid is stagnating, but really they just have to age into the next level. Highly recommend trying it out!
