From the reviews

My BFF and I took the Beginners/Level 1 Salsa/Bachata Class. We had a lot of fun together, and we got our steps in! Teresa is a wonderful teacher. She is a great demonstrator and leader. In this small group class, we rotated partners, which allowed for more practice with different leaders/followers.

Salsa has been so much fun! We went from absolute beginner to having fun on the dance floor.

★★★★★ — Karl, Nov 2025

I’ve been taking classes at Sway Dance Brookfield for a few months now, and I’m so glad I found it! Especially since most dance studios are north of Chicago. Having one this close to home has been amazing. Teresa makes every class fun, welcoming, and full of great energy.

I have taken beginner and intermediate Latin dance classes at Brookfield Sway for almost 2 years, and I love it. Teresa is an amazing and welcoming teacher.

Your first ballet class at Sway Dance Brookfield

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.
