For 25 years, Studio One Dance Theatre (SODT) has leaped across the bounds of formal dance education, providing technical training in an environment that nurtures and supports each student. As a cornerstone of the Chicago arts community, our prestigious reputation stems from a talented staff of professional dancers who have an ability to give students the tools needed to excel in the arts, and learn that they can achieve anything. It’s a dynamic vision that strikes the perfect balance between proper dance instruction and the pure joy of movement.
Whether it’s jazz, ballet, hip hop, modern or tap - Studio One Dance Theatre students learn more than just technique. They learn how the art of movement can tell a story, argue a point, and evoke an emotion. At SODT, the arts are used as a vehicle to challenge students, exposing them to a wide range of careers both on and off the stage.
