Linda’s Dance Studio was established in 1994 to offer quality dance instruction to children, teens and adults. The studio is home to “Flores de Mexico”; a traditional folkloric dance company dedicated to preserving traditional dances of Mexico. The company, which began in 1995, is open to students of all ages and ethnic groups. The studio has also become the home of our young adult Latin dance troupe “Proyecto Latino”, and “Affinity Dance Company”, which showcases our talented students in jazz, tap, ballroom, ballet, hip-hop and musical theater productions. Together these groups have performed at many venues including Six Flags Great America, the Taste of Chicago, Univision’s “Despierta America”, WGN’s Around Town, Night of Latinos in the Arts Gala Ceremony, the Family Book and Fun Fair sponsored by Edward James Olmos, Mayor Daley’s Neighborhood Festival Kickoff, Latino Art Beat awards ceremony, and many public libraries, museums, private and public schools and churches. This past June, thirty-one of our dancers performed in Downtown Disney in DisneyWorld. As we celebrate our seventeenth anniversary this year, we look forward to many new and exciting opportunities for our students in the upcoming new season including another trip to Disney World in 2013.
