About Dixon Dance Academy

Dixon Dance Academy, nestled in West Dundee, Illinois, has been a cornerstone of dance education since its founding in 1994. Originally established at The Loft Studio on Main Street, the academy quickly evolved, relocating to its current, expanded facility on Route 31. This growth, aided by acquiring adjacent space, now houses one large studio, one small studio, and administrative offices, serving as a cherished second home for over 600 young dancers. Our dedicated faculty, comprising 12 part-time instructors and a full-time Office Manager and Artistic Director, is committed to instilling a profound love for dance. We offer a diverse curriculum designed to foster technique, artistry, and passion across a wide array of styles, including Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, and Line Dancing. Our program empowers students to develop into confident artists, consistently challenging them to shine on stage. Dixon Dance Academy is proud to nurture performers through dedicated competitive teams such as the Teen Company, Teen Jazz Team, Teen Tap Team, Ballet Ensemble, Hip Hop Team, Sr Jazz Team, Sr Tap Team, Infinity Company, and Line Company, who regularly showcase their talents at regional and national competitions like Applause Regional Competition and Ovation National Competition. Performance is a key element, highlighted by an annual recital and opportunities for Master Classes. Our vibrant community is kept informed through a packed calendar of events. The artistic team, including instructors like Cathy Dixon, Gianna Capobianco, Chelsea McKone, Katie Harmon, Kristine Wedra, Kyla Duewel, Marisol Hernandez, Noa Greenfeld, Noelle Giacomuzzi, and Vicki Rios, along with office managers Maddie Castillo and Pernelle Maxwell, ensures a nurturing and engaging environment for dancers of all ages and skill levels.
