FAQS

As you go about finding a dance studio for your child, there are certain things that you should consider. Certainly most schools have friendly, knowledgeable instructors and your child will have fun learning to dance. However, there are a number of issues that will determine how well your child will learn and how much time and possible frustration your child's dance program will cost you.

How flexible are the age requirements for classes? What if my child is mature or has previous experience with dance?

Unfortunately, we cannot enroll a new student in a class outside their age range. Once we know your child better, however, we are happy to work with you to find a class appropriate for their level, if they are too advanced for certain classes.

How many students are in the classes?

We know that young students learn best in environments where they get individual attention from their instructors and have fewer distractions. As a result, we’ve capped our classes at 6 students (for ages 3-5) and 12 students (ages 6 and up). For even more focused attention, we also offer private lessons for children.

Does the monthly tuition decrease when the school is closed for holidays?

Although the school is closed for some holidays, there are also months where classes meet for extra days. Tuition is based on the average number of classes your child will take per month, so it does not decrease when the school is closed.

If I have questions during my child’s class, will someone be available to assist me?

To ensure that our teachers’ full focus is on teaching, Chicago Dance employs a friendly and knowledgeable customer service staff. They are available seven days a week to make recommendations, answer questions, and handle payments. In many schools, teachers are asked to handle these tasks, which creates a rushed, stressful atmosphere for instructors, students, and parents -- and that isn’t what we want for Chicago Dance.

Do you offer classes for adults?

Why should kids have all the fun? We offer a full selection of ballroom, Latin, and dance fitness classes for all levels of experience. You can see our schedule for details on all classes, or stop by the studio to pick up a paper copy.
