Here's the latest news!
Learning Pods Are Here!
With the introduction of limited in-person classes comes a new concept: Learning Pods!
What is a Learning Pod?
Any group of 4-6 students (dependent upon the class), be it from the same family, social group, etc. that feels comfortable safely taking in-person group classes together.
How many people can be in my pod?
To reserve a music or art Learning Pod, you must have 4 participating students. For dance, you must have a minimum of 4 students and may have a maximum of 6 students.
What classes are available for a Learning Pod?
Any Art, Dance or Music class (with the exception of voice for the time being) can be converted into a Learning Pod! If there is a particular class that interests you, give us a call at (630) 654-8426 and we can arrange that for you.

Virtual Learning: The Academy Goes Global

The best part of online learning? You can take lessons from anywhere in the world!
We’ve had students get creative and take their lessons everywhere from their living rooms to Walmart parking lots! We wanted to share a special greeting from Ms. Elena who has been teaching her Academy students from her home country of Bulgaria (and taking dips in the Black Sea every day!).
Ms. Elena teaches dance classes on Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning. Her classes include Ballet, Hip Hop and Pop Star. As a bonus you can tell your friends that you study dance with a teacher in Europe. ;)
Ms. Elena is also featured on our YouTube channel. Her most recent series teaches the five positions for ballet.
