Ok I'll admit, I started dancing because of Dancing With the Stars. I even started at that national chain that they keep advertising on television. But after being unimpressed on their teaching methods (which was teaching the same 3 dances and same moves for 10 straight lessons without progressing) and a horrible 45 second "routine gone wrong", it was time for a change. What did I do? I asked an unlikey source, my (ahem) "ex gf", where she and her parents used to dance and hense I wound up here. Over a year later I'M STILL HERE =)!!! If you want to learn from a place where it's about what YOU want to dance and not about what you "HAVE TO" dance then this IS the the place to learn. On my very first lesson, my instructor asked me "What do YOU want to learn?", not something like, "I'm teaching you 'this & that' and you're gonna learn to like it". Ever since then I was hooked. Fast forward to the present and I'm dancing still dancing away. I don't think if I stayed at that other place I would've gotten anywhere, let alone competing. And what about Tommye & Gregory? Yes, they are REAL former World Champions and would gladly show you how good you can potentially become. I can honestly say, everytime I see them dance (whether on PBS, live at Chicago Dance Festival in Grant Park, or just in the studio) I'm totally blown away; almost as if they can step on any dancefloor and wow the crowd without rehearsing. I started dancing as an "experiment", now it's part of my life. I'm glad I made the switch and the results show. This IS where Chicago learns to dance, no doubt about it =)
Pros: 1st class instruction, BEST in Chicago, Excellent kids classes, Learn from World Champions, Dance packages for all occations
Cons: street parking, facilities could be updated
