You will not find better training in the northwest suburbs. The faculty is excellent, all of whom danced (or are still dancing) professionally.

Great teachers and great students. Adult classes start at fundamentals and go up to advanced for those who have the background and facility. Be prepared to work and have fun. They truly educate and focus on doing things the right way every time to prevent injuries and increase flexibility and skills. Classes are educational and fun.

I have two daughters age 7 and 11. They both started to take classes at Northwest Ballet Academy when they were aged 5 years. The instructors are very nice and give students age-appropriate instructions which help kids to understand and improve their skills. My daughters are looking forward to going to lessons every time and very happy to learn new movements! In addition to ballet classes, my older one are now taking jazz, modern, and character, and Cecchetti classes and those new dances classes gave her more passion on dance. My daughters have been learning discipline and balancing school and dance lessons and other activities. I highly recommend this ballet studio!

My daughter has been a student at Northwest Ballet for over 12 years. Unlike those fancy and expensive dance studios that focus on competitive dance, NW Ballet is a small, family-owned, dance studio that provides quality ballet instruction from ages 3 to adult. NW Ballet also offers jazz, modern, and character, with several performance opportunities throughout the year. In addition to ballet/dance lesson, my daughter also learned the valuable lesson about discipline, hard work, and school/life balance here at NW Ballet. The instructors have many years of experience in professional dancing and dance instruction. Other studios will start dancers on pointe at the age of 10, regardless of their ability. Here at NW Ballet, they will monitor the growth and development of your dancer and assess when she is physically ready to go on pointe. In the long run, this will avoid injury and protect your dancer's knees, feet, and ankles. They care about you not just as a dancer, but like family. My daughter will be graduating in two years and is already talking about missing everyone here at NW Ballet.
It is evident that the quality of ballet instruction they teach at NW Ballet is top-notch. My daughter has auditioned and been accepted to the summer intensive programs at some of the well-known dance companies in the country, such as: The Joffrey Ballet, Ballet West, and Cincinnati Ballet. Additionally, her friends at NW Ballet have been accepted to Alonzo Lines, The Alvin Ailey School, and Ballet Met just to name a few. This just goes to show that Northwest Ballet is an excellent dance studio that can stack up against the competition. I highly recommend it.

I started classes here in January as an adult student with very little prior experience (just a couple of ballet classes as a kid). This studio has everything I was looking for - classes for adults that actually teach technique and help you progress, multiple classes per week, and the opportunity to perform. In just 6 months there, I have had the opportunity to work with numerous teachers who have helped me develop my skills as a dancer, AND I got to perform in a recital. Everyone who came to see the show commented on how professional the students were and what a high-quality performance the studio puts on. This studio offers classes for children as young as 3 and is also one of the few studios in the area that offers Cecchetti classes. I had the opportunity to take a modern/jazz class in additional to ballet this summer, and I am amazed at how much my confidence has grown by doing something out of my comfort zone. Your child (or you!!) will be welcomed here and will learn so much! I highly recommend this studio!

Outstanding. We have tried others, and none compare. Professional faculty, personal attention, fabulous performances. They are disciplined (don't come if you don't want that), classes start on-time, all of the teachers are experienced adults, live piano to accompany the classes. We could not be happier.

Best ballet studio in northwest suburb! My daughter started at 5, when we moved further away, we looked everywhere, but nothing compared to Northwest Ballet. We eventually came back, driving an hour everyday so she can dance in the best studio!

Northwest Ballet Academy is a wonderful dance school. As an adult returning to dance after a long hiatus, I felt welcomed, encouraged, and very comfortable in class. The teachers are terrific; they are very experienced and insist on correct ballet technique and placement. I look forward to class several times per week! The productions are surprisingly high quality, as they regularly present full-length ballets such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. I highly recommend this dance studio!

As an adult (male) beginner, I was not sure what I was getting into when trying my first ballet class and was nervous to say the least. From the moment I walked into this studio I felt welcomed and comfortable. Seven years later I am in the best physical shape I have ever been in and have made some great new friends. The instructors have a variety of different backgrounds and experience which make classes at NWB diverse and interesting. If you are serious about learning what it takes to be a dancer and aren't afraid of some discipline, this is a great place to study.

We came to Northwest Ballet 5 years ago after trying a couple of others in the area. No comparison! The training at Northwest is fantastic. Professional teachers, disciplined environment (you can't be late for class or you can't take that day...love it!), and my daughter has achieved so much. Her dancing is great, her self confidence has blossomed, and she is progressing so fast. They fantastic performances that are so professional, not the typical shows where it you pay a whole bunch for a costume and then get a poor performance.
If you are looking for strong dance training, whether a child or an adult...I can't recommend NW Ballet more strongly. They are GREAT!
