    I came to NWBA as an adult male beginner several years ago. I appreciated the welcoming environment, and continue to enjoy the physical and mental challenges.

    Love this studio, both as an adult dancer and as the parent of a younger dancer. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging, and the studio community as a whole is incredibly supportive. So glad I found this studio!

    NWBA is THE place to go for adult ballet in the Chicago suburbs. I have tried several studios and none even come close to the rigor that NWBA offers. If you start as a true adult beginner, expect to be in the adult beginner class for the unforeseen future, because you are expected to build your foundation like a true ballet student should. But if you truly are more advanced, they offer several adult classes at higher levels, too. This not only creates class environments where dancers are more or less on the same level, but also provides inspiration and room to grow. Lots of corrections from extremely skilled and personable instructors. I drive far to come here- it is worth it. The prices are comparable if not cheaper to other studios offering adult dance, too!

    My daughter loves her classes here! I love that you get to watch the first and last class of the semester to see where your child starts and how much they've progressed. Her teacher did an amazing job of teaching her while simultaneously managing a group of young (3 and 4 year old) students. Solid instruction (I'm a former dance instructor), comfortable environment, and a fun experience. Great job!

    You will not find better training in the northwest suburbs. The faculty is excellent, all of whom danced (or are still dancing) professionally. An addendum to my original post. Besides the excellent faculty, the operation and administration of the studio are outstanding.
