  • Favorite dance / creative studio in Chicago, hands down. SUPER welcoming and friendly vibes - I’ve literally made new friends in class! The space is clean and airy and I’ve never had trouble finding parking (I also know they have good rental rates).
    Psychi is an incredible teacher, amazing at breaking down moves and creating a positive and judgement-free class environment. - K.F.

  • amazing studio with wonderful vibes!! highly recommend taking classes here or just renting. super friendly staff who work very hard to make an incredible, safe, comfortable space for Chicago dancers!! - K.P

  • I've been going to this place since it opened and it rules. It's the best place for beginner friendly classes, and its a low stress small group vibe. 10/10 would recommend, plus there is a dog - E.O.

  • ​We are so happy with Psychi! They are an excellent teacher. I'm impressed with how much my daughter has learned in such a short period of time. - A.V.

Psychi

Hello I'm Psychi! (They/Them) I started AOA to provide an open and welcoming place for people of all walks of life to train. I am always happy to work with absolute beginners and offer adaptive options for challenging choreo. While private training is more intensive than my classes, all of the above still applies. I can't wait to sing and/or dance with you!

Hi, I’m Emma (She/Her), a visual & performing artist with a love for K-pop! Since I was a kid, this genre has been one of my biggest inspirations and the reason I started to dance. It’s my goal to share this love with others— everyone deserves to express themselves freely & confidently no matter their background~ I look forward to dancing with you all in my K-Pop Style Choreo class!

Hi, I'm Doctor! (He/Him) I am super friendly, love pets, and I greet every guest at the studio. During class I nap tucked out of the way and once class is over I walk everyone to the door! I take my job very seriously and can't wait to see you soon!
