Our teachers are dedicated to providing every student complete preparation for a professional career.

These classes allow students to experience all the benefits of dance training. Open classes do not participate in the annual recital with the exception of Hip Hop. Open program classes include Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Leaps and Turns.
We look forward to helping your child develop grace, poise and confidence. Our students enjoy personal growth as they learn the discipline of dance and experience the joy of performing in our June recitals.

As a result, many McDonald Dance Academy students have won scholarships from Chicago National Association of Dance Masters, and performed in both Joffrey Ballet and Schaumburg’s productions of the “Nutcracker.”
