Dance Instruction in Illinois

The Dancexpress Dance Studio is a private dance studio serving students of all ages. The studio has two large sprung wood dance floors and offers small class sizes. Classes include ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, hip-hop, modern, musical theater and more. The studio is part of the Chicago National Association of Dance Masters. 

 The Dance Center of La Grange offers classes for all ages in Pre-Ballet, Creative Movement, Ballet, Pointe, Modern, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Tap and Choreography. DCL believes dance should be enjoyed as an art form versus a competitive event. Since their opening in 1996, Robin Hill's (Teacher/Director/Owner) teaching philosophy has remained the same, to "Emphasize technique and style in all my classes. I also encourage a high level of motivation, energy, and most of all, fun!" DCL has two studios in the same building fully equipped with professional spring floors, ballet barres and mirrors. 

Check out their class schedule and special offers on their website.  For any other questions, contact Robin directly at [email protected].
