Our philosophy is simple; we encourage our students to enjoy what they learn, and we have built a 30 year tradition on it. We encourage our students to reach further, to try harder, and to have fun while doing that. It's really very simple. Lively Arts Academy developed a program that allows students from the ages of 18 months through adult to explore, continue, and excel. Our instructors have diverse cultural and educational backgrounds, and also offer students something from their professional experience. Each step our students take has impact beyond mere footwork; our school provides discipline for the dancer's body, mind, and spirit.
You have taken the first step by showing interest in our program. Lively Arts Academy believes in offering classes that can help our students develop their dance skills, their personalities, and their appreciation for the arts. Our schedule is formed around times that work for today's "busy kids" and their working parents.
Our Countryside location has two studios, both specially equipped with "Neo-Shok" shock absorbing dance floors. Our goal is to protect our dancers' bones and joints from the rigors of years of training. We are centrally located in the midwest, in the Chicago, Illinois western suburbs, just minutes fromBurr Ridge, Brookfield, Clarendon Hills, Indian Head Park, Hinsdale, LaGrange, LaGrange Park, Western Springs, Westmont, Darien, Willow Springs, and Willowbrook.
