From September through May, classes are offered from Monday to Friday in the late afternoon and evening,
as well as Saturday morning. From June through mid-August, we offer a full compliment of classes from
Monday to Thursday in the late afternoon and evening and on Friday mornings. Special workshops with guest teachers from
all over Chicagoland are also offered in the summer.
Our children's classes range
from Music and Movement for 3 & 4 years olds, to Pre-Ballet, Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Character. We also offer graded
Cecchetti method classes for the more serious ballet student. For teens and adults we have Ballet,
Jazz, Modern, Character, and a Pilates Mat class for dancers. For the intermediate and advanced level dancer,
we have a wide array of classes including Pointe, Jazz, and Character.
Northwest Ballet has a large
contingent of adult students. The faculty is very supportive and encouraging to adults or teens who wish to
begin ballet or to refresh their skills. Adult students enjoy the exercise and intellectual stimulation of professionally
taught dance classes. They find dance a great way to make new friends and relieve stress!
New students are encouraged to take a complimentary placement class. This allows them to try out our studio
before registering, and allows us to guide the student to the correct class level.
