We are open!

In light of recent inclement weather, we have received many inquiries as to whether we are open. At this time, we remain open, and will continue to operate on our regular schedule unless otherwise indicated right here on the joelhall.org homepage.

We are Chicago’s Global Destination For Dance!

We offer dance classes seven days a week for children and adults in jazz, ballet, hip hop, modern and more. This link will tell you more about the different styles of dance we teach.

The Joel Hall Dance Center is located on the North side of Chicago in Edgewater.

Why should you or your children attend Joel Hall Dance? Our students take dance lessons from the best instructors in Chicago! We have dance instructors and even dance studio owners come here to take lessons.

Are you thinking about enrolling your children? This link will teach you more about how children benefit from dance lessons.

We are a non-profit Chicago dance school whose purpose is to awaken the dancer in everyone’s soul.
