Lou Conte Dance Studio offers FREE beginner classes March 10
"The open house is for beginners, people who just want to give a dance, yoga or Pilates class a try. There's a tremendous amount of energy and excitement from the people taking the classes. And if you don't like one class, you can leave and walk into another class. You can't normally do that!" —Claire Bataille, LCDS Director and founding member of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago
During the popular, seasonal LCDS Open House events, take FREE beginner classes in ballet, modern, jazz, tap, yoga, Pilates, hip hop, African, BeMoved®, Zumba® and more.
This is the perfect opportunity to try new classes for the first time or bring along a friend to try your favorite class.

How Carl von Linné Elementary brought dance into the classroom
Carl von Linné Elementary School chose Hubbard Street to broaden the artistic opportunities available to its students, specifically looking to expand their understanding and use of hip-hop dance vocabulary.
We developed a unique program customized to their needs, blending hip-hop technique with dance composition to build their middle school dancers' engagement and confidence.
The program evolved from an after-school offering into an elective for Linné's seventh and eighth graders.
The pilot elective was so successful that, within one month, Linné's administration expanded the program to two sixth-grade classrooms.
And the program now includes an advanced class for seventh and eighth graders who wish to participate in the elective class a second time.
Fitting in. Standing out.
“When we first started working together, everyone was very shy and eager to fit in, to be the same. No one wanted to stand out. It's exciting to see them take the risk of being an individual – to risk being unique and distinct from everyone else. More than that, it's rewarding to watch them appreciate and honor their classmates' differences in order to cultivate an environment that promotes and respects bold, creative personal choices.” —Hubbard Street Lead Teaching Artist Mandy Beck
