At Affinity Illinois Dance Center, we believe in teaching dance in a way that is sustainable to lifelong body health and stamina. Our passion is providing students with a healthy body mindset and image. We teach our students foundational skills in multiple dance genres, and then give them the freedom to create movement and flow through those newly acquired skills. Dance will become a creative outlet for their entire lives and will help them succeed in any avenue that their future takes them.
