The studio is…read moretemporarily located in a storefront on S Bridge St. They are building a new location just north that will have multiple studio spaces. Here's what I love... They offer drop in classes. This is a huge plus for kids of divorce- sometimes we can't commit to a weekly schedule. I love that this studio accommodates our schedules! Classes range in time. The 30 minutes classes are perfect for my daughter as she is starting out. There studio offers a huge selection of classes- ballet, tap, hip hop, lyrical, performance, etc. The staff is super friendly. Everyone was very welcoming! They teach discipline, too, which is a huge component to dance. They also offer a free trial, so check it out!

I've also been involved in a few of their productions. The location is easy-to-find with ample parking right in front of the building. The inside is clean, well-maintained, and has 2 studios spaces (one large, one medium-sized) plus a couple lounge areas, one of which is used for music lessons and as a waiting area for clients and parents. The large studio has plenty of room to accommodate many dancers, adequate vertical space for leaps and jumps, very sturdy barres, and a comfortable, marley-covered floor. Though I have experience in music and am rhythmically capable, I was completely new to ballet when I started here. Heather's experience in the ballet world and in teaching the methods become apparent right away. She provides instructions that are very clear and offers cues that help to easily address form issues. Between exercises, she'll share the history of the movements and techniques, the origin of the words and phrasings, and the anatomy/kinesiology and physics behind the movements. This makes the class very interesting to me. She's also able to accommodate everyone in the class regardless of ability level, providing individual instruction equally among the dancers. Heather's great at assigning challenging routines that are just at the top of my abilities so that I'm pushed towards improvement. Ballet is physically demanding no doubt, but a lot of the difficulty for me comes from the mental and memory aspects of learning a routine. It is hard work, and I find it very rewarding. During my time with the studio, I've been given the opportunity to perform in a couple of their productions. It's great to be able to put all that hard work into a final product that my family and friends can enjoy! It's also wonderful to be able to do this alongside her other students and company members as a team. I've witnessed firsthand that this studio forges hard-working young individuals who learn to take criticism as opportunity for improvement, work hard for results, and take pride in their accomplishments.

If you're not in the "in" group forget about being seen. They do push their dancers however it is to the point of injury and then allow them to continue to dance with it. Hard pass on this team.

This place is toxic. I realized this multiple times throughout my experience here. From being…read moreignored by the owners mother who works the front desk when I asked to speak to the owner as we were a new family - this was a big time and financial commitment for me as a parent, to being disrespected by the owners sister and yelled at by one of their ballet teachers when I volunteered my time to help with dancing with santa and the nutcracker... YIKES. Multiple times throughout the season the owner talked negatively about families that have left the studio. This is a pretty small world we live in. I know the side of the story they won't tell with some of those families. That's when it clicked that they will stop at nothing to make people who don't put up with their crap look like the crazy/unstable one. The last straw was them blaming my daughter for something someone else did... the week before nationals. It was horrible. Her trust was completely broken with one of her teammates because of it and no one cared how much they hurt her... The pictures of my daughter on stage from nationals, she looked SO SAD. It was heartbreaking. That being said, even though I detest the people that run this place. My daughter is still super kind and supportive of every single kid she danced with here, even the one who lied and got her in trouble. The problem is the people who run it and the group of moms that act like spies and gossip about children. It's weird. Do not recommend this place. There are way better options in the area.

My husband and I take ballroom dance private lessons from Marta Rodriguez and Nick Rodriguez - in the rhythm styles: Chacha, rhumba, east coast swing, bolero and mambo. Love them! We've also observed Marta giving lessons to a competitive figure skater improving her musicality and expression and a couple preparing to dance at their son's wedding. Really kind instructors who teach you at the level where you are. My husband/dance partner and I are competitive dancers came to Marta looking to add more advanced styling and improve some areas where we weren't in synch. She is a champion dancer (in her native Poland) but is able to "push" us just enough (a little at a time). We've seen Nick for years teaching at other studios and dancing with his students at competitions and showcases. He always makes his students look great -dancing well and feeling confident. Next month it will be us dancing pro/am with Nick (me) and Marta (my husband)! We will also be dancing with each other.

It's a long trip for me to come to Steps from Chicago, where I spend the rest of my time working with my professional dance company Chicago Repertory Ballet, and the reason why I make the trip every week is because the students are polite, hard working and focused, and my colleagues are hard working, passionate professionals. I think Steps Dance Center works hard to offer professional, top notch training while still working to create a caring environment that is student focused. I believe this is a place where students learn well, and have fun, and one does not always see both of these at every dance school. Stop by, check it out. You'll see students smiling, dancing, training and learning.
