Since 1999, we have trained dancers that have enjoyed professional careers at Boston Ballet, St. Louis Ballet, American Ballet Theater, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo and more. Today, we offer classes for dancers of all ages, ranging from two years old up through adult. With a background deeply rooted in the teachings of Cuban ballet methodology, the Chicago Ballet Center understands the logic and structure that is developing some of the world’s greatest dancers. It is our belief that dance develops both the body and the brain, so classes are constructed to introduce the proper exercises for specific ages and dance levels--to meet each dancer where they are at developmentally. Ballet not only improves things such as muscle coordination, physical stamina and memory, but it can help dancers with social skills and community building. The Chicago Ballet Center takes special interest in making sure ballet never becomes physically harmful nor boring, instead appropriately challenging students to be energetic, enthusiastic, and most of all to have fun!
