DuPage Dance Academy was established over 30 years ago in Elmhurst, Illinois. Our qualified and experienced instructors have taught the art of dance in ballet, pointe, jazz, tap and pre-ballet to students ranging from five years old to adults.

Our resident dance company, “Elmhurst Dance Theater”, provides performing opportunities for intermediate and advanced level students, including our very popular annual “Nutcracker Highlights.” Also in residence is Elmhurst’s own professional contemporary dance company “MC Squared.”

We are quite proud to have many students receive college dance scholarships and move on to professional careers in dance and dance education.
