Strut Dance Studio
Community of Independent Dance Instructors with a mission to help you find confidence in your dance The iconic Ballroom City has now become Strut Dance Studio.
Brittney Valdez, one of Ballroom City's dedicated dancers and instructors, took ownership of the studio in February of 2021. Ballroom City had a 25-year history of providing the Chicagoland area a place to social dance, take dance lessons, and most importantly, make lifelong friendships. The many cherished memories made over that amazing 25-year history provides the foundation for Strut Dance Studio. While the studio's name has changed, the mission to provide the dance community with somewhere to call home remains. The multi-talented group of instructors at Strut will continue to share their passion for dance with students, building on the sense of community that came before it.
