That winning mix of amazing virtuosos and enthusiastic beginners, in Avondale, the neighborhood that built Chicago. A place to move body, soul and spirit.

Such a fun place to see a show is not like any other. Sonya seems to be not only a great dancer and instructor but a great mentor as well. Her dancers truly take their training seriously but make it seem like a casual evening of smiles and incredibly self created costumes. If you get a chance to see a show here, do it. You won't be disappointed. And while you're there clap very loud for my daughter. She has been taking lessons from Sonya for I think possibly 12 years now. More...

Thank you Sonya and all great instructors for sharing your knowledge and skills! Yallah Habibi!!! More...

Have been taking classes here for over 11 years, I absolutely love this place! It's the type of place you feel right at home in from day 1, Sonya creates a beautiful and comfortable space to grow as a dancer, whether you have never taken classes before, or you are a pro! The teachers are great, no pretentious vibes here! Everyone is truly passionate about dance, Sonya is truly an inspiration and has a great teaching style. You will learn so much and make new friends! If you have a chance to check out any workshops or try a class at Arabesque, I highly recommend it - you will not be disappointed!! More...

The place is beautiful. 2 huge dance rooms, a large waiting area, merchandise and more. The teachers are great, plenty of classes to choose from, the ability to make up missed class, performance ops, plenty of FREE parking and good prices. This is the best place you are going to find to learn the art of belly dance. More...

Arabesque is one of the best bellydance studios in the Chicagoland area. Miss Sonya Blacker and Miss Christiana Raqs are great teachers and the occasional shows are fun to attend.

You will never find a more supportive and accomplished community of dancers, both professional and amateur. Excellent instructors, great variety of class offerings in many different belly-dance styles, and a welcoming, inclusive environment. No matter your age, ethnic background, or body type, you will find acceptance and encouragement here! Beautiful, spacious studio and boutique always meticulously maintained. Fun events and performance opportunities. Reasonable fees. I have been a student here for almost 10 years, and I cannot recommend Arabesque more highly...give it a try, you will love it! More...

My Very Best Experience in Living in the USA. I am going to miss this place the most. It is a very welcoming place with great teachers, Sonya, Jonsey, and Christiana are soooo good in breaking down down the steps for beginners..I wish I found this place earlier.

I have been dancing at Arabesque Dance Studios since 2008. It is my home away from home. I love the teachers and the friends I've made over the years. Dancers of all skill levels are welcome. Come check it out - you are bound to find something you like. Register for a weekly class or come to one of the many haflas (performance parties) hosted by Arabesque Dance Studios throughout the year to see teachers, students and special guests perform. More...
