One of the best parts has been the friendships my daughter has made. The dancers support and cheer each other on, creating a space where everyone feels valued.

I'm so grateful for the experience we've had at Elite Dance Academy. It's more than just a dance studio--it's a place where kids can thrive, build lifelong friendships, and feel inspired every day. Highly recommend! Laura Vistine

My son has done a few classes with Patti's; Gymnastics, swimming and dance…read more The swimming is hit or miss. We originally did Saturday mornings and he managed to regress. One of the instructors that was subbing heard my complaints of his regression and worked more with him. She suggested doing the everyday for a week class with her. We did and he improved immensely. So much so that I did another week the following month while still keeping the Saturday. After that the Saturday class seemed a waste of time as my son was with kids still afraid to get in the water and he was floating, going down the slide by himself etc. A plus for Patti's swimming is as a parent you can sit by the pool and hear what's happening. There are only 2 classes max at the same time. As far as the gymnastics and dance go my son loves them both. He looks forward to his classes and will ask when can we go again, which is never the case for other programs. He's super excited for his upcoming dance recital and loves showing us his "moves" at home.

She was NOT nice to the kids she blew her damn whistle in peoples faces, in my ear!! Anytime a parent or kid would talk to her she had a shitty look on her face and rolled her eyes and had an attitude! She should not work with kids!!! Told one kid to sit down and shut up!!!! If parents don't bring their kids back it would be because of her!!! I understand she had to keep the kids organized and quiet but she did it very poorly!!!!

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!!

First let me say that we are NOT dancers and NOT very coordinated - which is what makes Teresa and…read moreSway Dance Chicago so amazing. She was able to make both my husband and me feel comfortable - both during the lesson and then later on the dance floor at our daughter's wedding. I booked a small group lesson for my husband and me, my son and his girlfriend as something fun to do and to help us all feel better prepared for my daughter's upcoming wedding. I sent an inquiry from the website and because of COVID, I wasn't sure if they were open and what their hours would be. They were very responsive and got back to me quickly. I can't say anyone but me was very excited about the idea of dance lessons. However, by the middle of the session, we were all into it. Teresa took any awkwardness out of it and we were having fun. Then about two weeks before the wedding, my husband actually suggested that he and I go back for a private lesson! Teresa was very accommodating and helped us out. She even recorded us, sent us a list of good songs to practice with, and gave us tips to work out with the DJ specific to the wedding. I should also add that the studio itself also impressive. It is very clean and well kept. The floors are in great condition and beautiful glass and mirrored walls. I highly recommend Sway Dance Chicago for private and group lessons. My husband and I are even thinking group dance might be a great way to get some fun exercise!

You will also find an art gallery, gift shop and another setting we did not see. The center is on the former site of Lanier School and the old library.
