I Dream Dance Reviews

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I'll start my review off by saying if I had the ability to give a 5+ star rating to Marta and Nick, I would! Their warmth, expertise and passion for dance made every lesson feel like a special part of our wedding journey. I initially came to Marta with somewhat of a vision for our first dance, and not only did she take my ideas and bring them to life, but she (along with her husband, Nick) made the entire experience fun, memorable and completely stress-free.What stood out the most was her ability to truly understand our story. From my very first encounter with Marta at Riverside Receptions in Geneva (in the midst of finalizing the details for my bridal shower, as fate had it!), there was an instant connection—we could tell Marta genuinely cared about making our dance a reflection of us. She took the time to take our desired first dance song and tailor every step to our style and comfort level, and encouraged us in a way that made us feel so confident on the dance floor.Their talent speaks for itself, but what makes them even more incredible is their kindness, patience and unwavering support. Every session (which Marta would make as convenient as possible for us) was filled with laughter and excitement, and by the time our wedding day arrived, we felt so prepared and at ease. Our guests were completely blown away by our dance, and we owe it all to Marta and Nick and their guidance.We also want to give a special congratulations on the grand opening of their stunning new studio! The space is immaculate—clean, contemporary and sophisticated—truly a reflection of the passion and dedication they bring to their work. It’s more than just a dance studio; it’s a space where love stories are brought to life through movement.If you’re looking for choreographers who will not only create something beautiful but will also make the journey just as special, look no further. My now husband and I are beyond grateful for Marta and Nick and can’t recommend them highly enough!
February 19 · Renee ZagozdonMarta and Nick Rodriguez are wonderful instructors! My husband and I are ballroom dancers who have taken group and private lessons from many instructors around the city and Marta and Nick are among the best!! We are competitive dancers and they do a great job of challenging us technically and stylistically but they do it in an encouraging way. Dancing may be their job but they make it fun!If you are hesitant to try taking dance lessons, I would definitely encourage you to try I Dream Dance. They make it fun and relaxed - but if you want to do showcases, or competitions (or figure skating competitions), they can help you. Their trial package of a private lesson and a practice party is a steal. They also have group lessons which we haven’t taken yet - but they’re both really good at explaining and demonstrating - so I am SURE they will be great.
April 06 · Edith SilverBecoming part of the I Dream Dance family has honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The instructors are not only incredibly skilled but also so supportive and motivating, making each class both challenging and fun. The studio itself is spacious and has such a welcoming atmosphere. I love the variety of classes they offer, catering to all levels, and the sense of community here is fantastic. Whether you’re new to dance or looking to refine your skills, I highly recommend checking this place out!
January 30 · Dana LeoI truly can’t recommend I Dream Dance studio enough!Marta and Nick—both world-class professional dancers and incredibly experienced teachers—have created something really special here.From the moment you walk into I Dream Dance, you can feel the warmth and positive energy. The atmosphere is so welcoming—it genuinely feels like family. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned dancer, this is a place where you’ll feel supported, inspired, and encouraged to grow.Their passion for dance and teaching is contagious, and their dedication to each student’s journey is something you rarely find. On top of all that, they’re simply amazing human beings.If you’re in the St. Charles area and looking for a dance home, I Dream Dance is the place to be!
April 05 · Paulina RonowskaI Dream Dance is a great place to learn salsa and more. Nick is an excellent teacher—experienced, patient, and able to adjust lessons to your level. He focuses not just on steps but on how to connect movements naturally, which makes learning feel smooth and intuitive.While we’ve been focusing on salsa, Nick knows other styles as well. His wife is a dance smooth champion, so there’s a lot of expertise between them. If you’re looking for solid dance instruction in a relaxed and supportive setting, this is a great place to learn.
