From the reviews
We came to the Chicago School of Ballet after training at a larger, well-known area school because we were looking for more individualized attention and a stronger technical foundation. It was one of the best decisions we made.
There are many dance schools in our area but none that specialize in the art of ballet. If you are looking for a premier pre-professional ballet school with outstanding contemporary training as well, you need to attend a school where all the instructors are or have been professionals themselves.
If you are looking for a dance school that will help to increase your child’s confidence and discipline, this is the place. The level of professionalism is unrivaled. I can’t thank Steve and his staff enough, for all that they do!
Your first ballet class at The Chicago School of Ballet
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.
