Jan 20, 2025 · Francisco DiazChicago Ballroom, Latin & Salsa Dance Studio has been an incredible journey for me! When I first started, the lessons began slowly with the basic counting steps, allowing me to build a strong foundation. Over time, the instruction progressed into full routines for each dance style, helping me develop not only technique but also rhythm and confidence.Through a combination of group and private lessons, I saw my self-confidence grow tremendously. The instructors are patient, supportive, and truly passionate about helping students improve. Eventually, with the encouragement of the dance group, I even entered amateur competitions—something I never imagined I’d do! To my surprise, I won more than a dozen heats, and I credit the studio for making that possible.Beyond the dance floor, the community at this studio is warm and welcoming. I’ve met some amazing people who have become great friends, making the experience even more rewarding.If you’ve ever thought “I can’t dance”, this is the perfect place to prove yourself wrong. I highly recommend Chicago Ballroom, Latin & Salsa Dance Studio for anyone looking to learn, grow, and have fun along the way!
