Ballet Schools in Illinois - Chicago north suburbs

[luvpointe7]

I was just wondering if anyone could recommend any good ballet studios that are in some of the northern suburbs outside of Chicago. I live just north of Chicago, but have a hard time commuting into the city. Currently, I go to a fairly good studio, but i was wondering if anyone knew of anything better.

My DD studies at Northshore School of Dance in Highland Park. Very very strong staff and wide variety of classes at all levels. 2 school companies. Web address: www.northshoredance.com

There was an article in a recent issue of Dance Magazine about Kerry Hubata at the Evanston School of Ballet. I met her once at a Joffrey performance and she seemed quite knowledgeable and personable. Perhaps some one who has studied with her could recommend?

I know you are looking for a studio in the north suburbs, but Chicago Ballet Arts is located on the north side not far from Evanston. Here is a link to their website, but you may only be able to get their street and email addresses and phone number since the site is currently under construction.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I looked at Evanston School of Ballet. it seemed like excellent instruction, but there were not enough classes offered, their schedule is on their website if you want to have a look. i went and looked at Northshore School of Dance, which looks like a pretty good school, but a bit too expensive. thanks for all the input everyone

Faubourg School of Ballet in Hanover Park, IL. The owner is amazing with the kids. We've been there for 3 years and I highly recommend.

Just a note that this topic was started in '08, and the original poster has not been on the board since 2011. I'm guessing she has graduated high school by now!
