Summers Academy of Dance Moves to New Studio

Summers Academy of Dance has moved into a new state-of-the-art dance center on Route 14 in Crystal Lake.

The new location, at 5186 Route 14 next to Exceed Floors, has three dance studios, floor-to-ceiling windows, professional sprung floors in the 4,000-plus-square-foot space, and 10-foot tall mirrors, according to Raji Chadha, marketing coordinator for Summers Academy of Dance.

Dancers will enjoy practicing and performing on Marley floors, dance space designed for injury prevention, comfortable viewing for parents, Wi-Fi access, designated studying areas, a live pianist and digital surround sound technology, Chadha stated in a news release.

Summers Academy of Dance provides instruction in ballet, pointe, jazz, hip hop, tap, lyrical and aerial dance.

Having three resident companies - The Berkshire Ballet Theatre, Starr Dancers and Summers Dance Crews - allows every student the opportunity to find the right choice for her/ his personal interests and goals, Chadha said. 

With the move completed, Summers Academy is prepping for its six-week summer session, which starts June 24.

From June 24-29, Summers is hosting an “open house” for those people wanting to try a complimentary week of classes.

New students receive 20% off of their tuition if they register immediately following their class. More information is available on the Summers Academy of Dance webpage, or by calling 815-477-0033, according to Chadha.
