Enriching our Chicagoland Area communities for 20 years, we highly value knowing each student on a personal and artistic level. We are proud of the culture we’ve established wherein we cultivate a connection between the art we create and the communities in which we reside. We are thrilled to present new opportunities for our students to receive personalized training from, and exposure to, the professional community, as well as grow in an atmosphere that inspires service and excellence. Our priority is to produce confident students who feel empowered to make an impact in their community, both socially and artistically. As part of the Expand Community Arts Alliance, our studio strives to facilitate the growth of both strong dancers and community leaders. We ensure that every child has their needs met and has the chance to share their gifts with others. With two locations, the DMA offers instruction from highly qualified teachers who are dedicated to igniting community dialogue through an artistic lens. Our summer session is designed to offer students the opportunity to explore our vast and diverse programming. Our summer class series encourages dancers to try new styles to expand their technical and artistic knowledge as well as be inspired to grow into a more well-rounded artist. The series highlights technical, educational, and artistic components of a variety of styles and will challenge students of all ages and ability levels to grow in a positive, energetic environment. The weeklong summer camps foster creativity in the musical theater and performing arts realms. The summer dance intensive provides access to the professional dance world for our Prelude and Advanced students; complete with guest master teachers, a collegiate resource fair, and a showcase highlighting the work of the dancers for an audience of casting agents, professional dancers, and college scouts. We invite you to explore our programming and encourage you to contact us for more information. A NOTE ABOUT COVID-19 AND OUR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: The safety and care of our students is a top priority for us. After consulting with medical professionals and applying the governmental and World Health Organization guidelines, we have have created a business Code of Conduct that represents the high standard of integrity that our staff feels confident teaching under. These guidelines have reshaped our summer business structure to ensure small class sizes with many health and safety precautions clearly defined and executed. YOUR CHILDREN ARE OUR TOP PRIORITY. We will do everything in our power to keep them safe under our care.
