From the reviews
Eclipse Performing Arts is wonderful studio to get a dance education. When I was in high school I would drive over an hour to take classes here. The dance instructors have great insight, education, and knowledge.
Eclipse has a National award winning competition team but the best thing about it is the instruction. Our dancers have 12 different teachers that are experts in their genres. No other studio in the Chicagoland offers this many qualified teachers.
My daughters have had a great experience at Eclipse with fantastic teachers. One of the reasons we have stayed at Eclipse is because of their focus on proper technique and a ballet foundation.
My daughter has been with Eclipse for 5 seasons. The teachers are by far the best in the region. Ms. Rachel is fantastic with the younger kids, Ms. Jordan is teaching them proper technique and new skills, and Ms. Shannon is extremely talented.
Your first ballet class at Eclipse Performing Art
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.
