This studio is such a gem and has amazing instructors, philosophy, and a supportive environment for all ages/stages of dancing. The owner is so responsive and excellent with communication. My daughter absolutely loves dancing with NIDC--so glad she joined!
My daughter loves dancing at NIDC! The studio's atmosphere is easy going and welcoming. The staff are very caring, patient and understanding with the dancers. My daughter has danced at other studios and happily calls NIDC her second home.
Our daughter has been with NIDC for a year now and is already signed up for another full year! She loves her class and her teacher. She has come out of her shell and found her place in dance. Can't wait to see the shows this year!!!
Great staff and teaching philosophy. It's amazing to see the kids grow and the older kids are such great role models. It's been great to be a part of this dance family for the past 8 years and I look forward to the next 6.
Your first ballet class at Northern Illinois Dance Center
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.
