My daughter came from Alaska and attended the College/PrePro Dance Intensive and had an amazing time. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The staff was amazing to work with. Her sisters and I came down to see an amazing well put together show at the end.
Our daughter started here when she was 5 last year. She was so nervous, and really froze up when doing anything in front of a group before. At the end of year performance, she was so excited to perform in front of hundreds of people without issue. The quality of the dance and instructing is obvious, but the growth and development of a young kid and her confidence was just amazing to see. At the performance, the older kids (12 or so), just WOW. It is a kind, inclusive, supporting, and just all around amazing place. Cannot be happy enough that we found Gus.
My daughter participated in the GUS Pre-Pro 3 week program this summer (2025). It was an amazing experience for her. Communcation about the program details was superb. She felt very welcomed by the staff and company members. The teachers/choreographers were excellent working with the high school age group and are incredible choreographers. We feel this was an opportunity of a life time to travel from out of state and participate in this outstanding program in Chicago. Thank you to Lauren and Amy for continuing the legacy of GUS Giordano!
