About Studio 88 Dance

Every Step Counts.

Our Story

A family dance studio offering ballet, hip-hop, jazz and adult classes with recitals, competitions and a free first class.

What started as a two-person operation has grown into a trusted name in Chicago, thanks to a simple promise: treat every customer like a neighbor, because they are.

Today our team of specialists combines old-fashioned work ethic with modern tools and training to deliver results you can see and feel.
