Heart & Soul DanceThere's a new place to dance in town!

Congratulations to Maren Oslac of Heart & Sole Dance!

A gorgeous studio was just opened by one of Chicago's Finest Dancers, Maren Oslac in Tinley Park.
 

For south side Chicagoans, this is what they've been waiting for as couples dance locations and schools are 'almost' non existant south of I-88.

Maren is a nationally recognized judge, instructor, and competitor know in the Ballroom, Country, Swing, Latin, and Hustle circuits.

The new address is 7038 183rd St.,Tinley Park. - in the same building with Dunkin' Donuts, Vito and Nicks II and Intimo (a Martini Bar!) Phone: 708-5-DANCES!

For more information and to see the studio in different stages of it's construction, click here Heart & Sole Dance

WOW EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT DOUBLE DANCE ! ! !
 
Double Dance is a Major Hit!  With fantastic attendance by people from the ballroom, swing, and country communities, it has become the crossover dance of Chicago!

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK! ! !

In an effort to continuously improve the Double Dance, we want feedback of every kind from the music to the pizza to the contests.  Let us know what you think. 

NEW THIS DANCE!

Music Changes:  As requested, more of the music will be slower tempos allowing for dancers to fully enjoy their dance!

Swing Room Music:  The awesome music will continue in the swing room but this time it has been tested for continuity.  We will also have more fans in the swing room and it is now well ventilated!

Prizes for EVERYONE who dances in the Renegade Competition

The renegade will be a mix of different dances... you never know what???  The winning couple will be the one the puts on the best show with the dances they know and 'improvs' with the ones they don't...
