From the reviews

We’ve been with Storm for 3 years already. My daughter really likes it. Dance helped her to develop a lot of good qualities as being on time, organized, work in a team, great friendships and of course they still have fun. Their Nutcracker and recitals are amazing.

★★★★★ — Daniela, Aug 2024

What an amazing way to start the holiday season with Storm Dance Alliance's production of the Nutcracker. This is our third year and my daughter lives for this! So many great people that are a part of this production on the stage and behind the scenes.

★★★★★ — Donna, Dec 2018

Storm Dance Alliance sets the standard for excellence in dance. From YAGP to The Nutcracker and many other elite programs, the studio offers unmatched training, artistic growth, and a positive, team-focused environment. A truly inspiring place where dancers thrive.

★★★★★ — Lory, May 2025

My daughter (8 yrs) has been dancing at storm now for 3 years. We left a previous dance team in Naperville IL to come to Storm after not feeling she was getting an acceptable level of dance education. Storm has been nothing but wonderful! My daughter dances roughly 4 days/25 hours a week.

Your first ballet class at Storm Dance Alliance

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.
