Sentiment Analysis
Not only have they learned to dance with the most talented teachers, but they have also learned perseverance, team work, time management and have made life long friendships.
It was awesome
You can see how much Madame Makkai, Miss Lilla and all of their wonderful teachers love what they do and love their students.
We re-located to Lake Zurich and still make the drive back and forth to HP because Makkai truly cares about their dancers and has been an incredible experience for our daughter.
Highly recommend - this is our first year, but to see the growth and pride from those graduating after 10, 12 and even 16 years was amazing.
Dancers come to Ballet Makkai from throughout the surrounding suburbs and even as far away as Chicago, and the studio is always open to newcomers and maintains a welcoming, friendly atmosphere among veterans and newcomers alike.
It is a real deal Ladies, this class with get you in shape in no time!
The teachers that are teaching have danced before and understand dance.
