DanceWest Ballet

By far the best training you could ask for! If you are a former dancer looking for an adult class that you will feel connected to, this is the place. They even have beginning adult classes in case you want to try something new. Also, checkout the tap, Mr. Marty is amazing and welcomes all if you are a first timer or a lifelong tapper. The beginning children’s classes are safe, appropriate and the sweetest part of the end of year performance/​concert/​recital. The performances of the Nutcracker each year are a balanced blend of professional and family friendly. The instructors are professionally trained and bring years of experience to the dancers and families here. I hope you give this place a chance to be your new home for dance. Bring a friend and try a class together!

Having children involved with the studio for over 10 years, I can objectively state that the training and performance opportunities offered at DanceWest Ballet are excellent. The classes are taught by former and current professional dancers. While the curriculum is steeped in the classics in both ballet and character dance, DanceWest Ballet also offers a range of contemporary dance (including jazz and hip-​hop) and tap from beginner to advanced. Students who elect to perform in DanceWest Ballet’s annual production of The Nutcracker or who are members of its pre-​professional company have the opportunity to interact and dance with high-​caliber guest artists and to compete in select competitions. Naperville and the surrounding area is home to many dance studios with emphasis in different genres of dance. For high-​quality ballet technique, pointe, repertoire, character, contemporary, and tap, DanceWest Ballet is the best choice for dancers as a career or as recreation.

I go to Dance West usually on Tuesdays & Thursdays when the kids have dance. Tuesdays is quiet and relaxed, but on Thursdays it’s hard to find a place to sit. The kids love it, though. I love how I’m able to watch them dance, and sometimes the instructors let you come in to observe. The shows they put on are amazing! Love it!

I have trained here my whole life and have become an accomplished dancer in a company now. The training is excellent, as well as the atmosphere. They have great facilities and are very professional. It is by far the best place to receive dance training in the Naperville area.

My daughter started dancing at DanceWest recently and we are very happy we made the move. Her ballet technique has greatly improved in just a few short months. Their instructors obviously love what they do! The were also extremely accommodating when my daughter wanted to switch classes.
Highly recommended!
