From the reviews

My 4 year old has always love to dance and she absolutely loves this place besides the amazing staff that are child friendly. In a few months we will be also putting her in ballet since once in a while they let them see performances from the other class and now she wants to be a part of it.

My 3 yr old daughter has learned a lot from Ms. Lydia and Ms. Zoe in just a few months and felt comfortable and confident at the spring recital. Ms. Lydia and Ms. Zoe are super sweet and patient, and my daughter loves coming to class each week.

My son has been taking dance classes at this location for over a year. Great clean facility with parking on site. His teachers are all wonderful and responsive. The dance recital they put together was just adorable.

Your first ballet class at Dance To EvOLvE in West Loop at Chicago Children's Theatre

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
