Overview

Founded in September 2015, Dovetail Studios has become a community space for the arts on the North Side of Chicago. Dovetail Studios provides high quality dance training for dancers of all ages in a fun and encouraging environment.

Like a sport, dance has a trajectory. At Dovetail, we prioritize individual growth in whatever technique a dancer chooses to study. Our studio has training opportunities for the very young all the way to the working professional dancer. Our younger dance students get to witness the trajectory from beginner to professional just by being in the space. The mix of ages and levels under one roof makes training at Dovetail quite a unique experience.

Dovetail offers affordable performance and rehearsal space for professional dancers as well as creative residency programs.

3 dance studios (1,875, 800, 1,125 sq. ft)
