At the Des Plaines School of Dance we take great pride in offering professional, studio quality dance instruction with the convenience and affordability associated with a Park District. Our goal is to provide our students with a positive dance experience in a fun and creative environment.

Along with a solid foundation in dance, students receive encouragement and reinforcement of a positive self-image. The staff is committed to the development and growth of our dancers through nurturing, discipline and dedication. Classes focus on technique, coordination, flexibility, poise, strength, understanding of dance terminology and basic combinations.

The Des Plaines Park District offers a 9-month dance instruction program, in 2 sessions, that culminates in the annual June recital. You must be registered in both sessions to be eligible to perform in the recital. Session I classes start in the fall. Session II classes begin in January, continuing the instruction from Session 1 with an intensified focus on the recital numbers. Non-recital classes are offered seasonally for preschoolers, youths and adults.

Our Dance a la Carte program lets you select the individual classes you want to attend.
