Five things to look for when researching Chicago dance classes

Find the best dance classes in Chicago

Finding a dance class in Chicago is much harder than you would think. Struggling to find a suitable class? Here are five things that every parent should consider before deciding on a Chicago dance class for their child…

Dance class location

Nobody wants to have to drive or take public transport to a studio on the other side of town. You want to be able to find a class that is close by and convenient. When you’re searching for classes, do a search by your zip code. This will help to narrow down the hundreds of Dance classes offered throughout the city of Chicago.

Dance class type

While a lot of people simply want to take a class that they have never taken, many will have a specific dance class in mind. If you are looking for a particular class, you need to make sure that the studio you are researching offers it. Don’t waste your time trying out a studio that doesn’t offer exactly what you want. Be sure to find the class that is right for you.

Dance class schedule

Every studio has a set class schedule. The most frustrating thing can be to find a studio close to you that only offers the class you want while you’re at work. That’s no help at all. Always look over the studio’s class schedule before committing.

When you find a class you connect with, dance can be a really fun way to exercise

Dance class teachers

Teachers make or break a class.  When it comes to younger children, a bubbly instructor is always great!  For more adult classes, make sure that the teacher has experience of working with older dancers.  Adults need to be wary of injuries and no one wants to be injured because the teacher was inexperienced.

Dance studio customer service

Some studios offer front desk staff while others are managed by one person or use a third-party vendors’ space.  Whatever the situation,  customer service should always be on point. The studio should be communicative and helpful. If you call a studio and they don’t know half of the answers to your questions, then this is not the Chicago dance class location for you.

Finding a Chicago dance class that suits your needs can be like finding a needle in a haystack if you’re unaware of what to look for. Take the time to pick a class that suits you. Don’t be intimidated…you deserve to have the best class possible.
