We love DanceWorks! My girls are always excited to go, make sure they’re on time, and come home smiling every time. They even practice their steps during the week because they enjoy it so much. The teachers are amazing and truly professional. Such a positive, fun environment—we highly recommend it!

Danceworks is the best! With such a variety of classes, and new ones each session, there's really nothing else like this in the Chicago frum community!
My daughter loves the classes that she takes! She has learned so much from them. I love how many choices there are!
Your first ballet class at DanceWorks by T
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.
