The day we joined Dance Time with Friends marked the beginning of a healthier and happier life. The monotonous steps on the treadmill and the boring walks by the lake were all replaced by the magnificent sound of Ballroom music. We dance long hours and thanks to dancing our heart is stronger and the body is slimmer. We feel a lot younger and joy seems to be forever. Thank you very much Dance Time with Friends!

We learned to appreciate ballroom dancing only after 8 years of being under quality instruction from Ed and Luming. They taught that using our entire body can add spice and life to any dance performance. When I dance, I try to feel that my arms occupy the whole dance floor and try my best to define its lines - a technique I learned from Ed and Luming. Every dance that they choreographed always makes my husband and me crave for new styling and techniques. Dance Time with Friends dance studio, a place where you can find quality instructions at very REASONABLE prices; a place for FUN atmosphere and friendly people. They're the BEST here in Chicago land!

It was five years ago when my wife and I had our first ballroom dance lesson from DTWF.  Because of the friendly atmosphere at the studio, we've kept coming back regularly for the dance lessons and practice nights.  Dancing has added excitement to our lives.  Aside from improving our dancing skills, we also improved mentally, physically and socially.  If you are considering learning to dance or want to brush up on it, try Dance Time with Friends.  There is nothing to lose. You will be surprised at how much fun and how easy it is to learn how to ballroom dance at DTWF.

It seems so long ago that Phil and I requested your expertise in teaching us our first dance for our wedding. I just got the wedding pictures back and wanted to send you some. Although the wedding was last November, I still remember parts of the dance and how great it was. When we finished, there wasn't a dry eye at the reception! We still get compliments on the dance. Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special!

Shannon & Phil Reid

We are a couple who have been self-employed for over 20 yrs. and can easily make an excuse of being so busy to take dance lessons , but we never did. Dancing became a part of our lives. 

There's so much positive to say about DTWF. First of all, since we started in DTWF , we have built numerous valuable friendships , foremost of our close relationship with our patient, understanding and talented dance instructors , Ed and Luming de la Cruz. We have been dancing for a number of yrs. , but we never imagined we can do the complicated patterns of Advanced Rumba,Samba, Bolero,Cha-Cha,Tango which are both available in American and International Styles . People are in awe with the hand styling and dance techniques . These are all possible because of the diligent, patient teaching and coaching of Ed and Luming de la Cruz. They're so generous in sharing what they learn from the other professional coaches. 

Lately of course, we started learning the Argentine

Tango. We become so rich in culture, I should say , because we learn so much of the dances of other countries. 

Here at DTWF, students develop self confidence , posture and enjoy each others company. 

Life for us will never be the same again. Now, wherever we go, we know that we can always dance with confidence what we have learned in DTWF whether it's  a small get together, family affairs , dinner dances, doing dance performances or even dancing for a good cause and while you're in a cruise and most students feel the same way.
