Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“My husband and I took dance lessons here before our wedding and loved it. Christa is the absolute best. You’ll have a blast with her, and she’s a fantastic teacher. She’ll carefully listen to your song and figure out the best dance moves for you/your music. She’s very attentive, always checking in to make sure everything is going just great. We ended up with a great routine, and it was the most fun part of planning for the wedding. Now we want to keep taking lessons with her, just for fun.” – Elizabeth M.

Not Your Average Dance School

We wanted to know what makes Illinois’s number one dance school so special, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Christa Hamran.

The first question we had for Christa was what makes Dance SPA unique compared to their competition in Illinois. Here’s what she had to say:

“We offer private ballroom dancing, social dancing, wedding dancing, lessons for people who just want to learn how to dance, private classes, Zumba and Latin dance classes. We provide an intimate environment. We are able to do this because we have a small staff. With us, there aren’t 10 people on the floor and 10 different songs playing. It’s all about the time they put in with me. They are learning to dance, but they have to like spending 40 minutes with me and my staff. Some people need a hand or hug, or even a compliment. We actually care.”

We also asked Christa about Dance SPA’s mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Christa told us:

“Dance SPA offers an energetic and comfortable environment to learn dance, get fit and have fun. Our instructors have more than 15 years of experience in professional dance training, and they know how to have a good time, too! If you’re a beginner, we will have you feeling confident on the dance floor in no time! Even if you have the basics down, let us teach you some new and hot techniques to refine your skills.”

Christa went on to share the company slogan with us, which is:

“Anyone can learn to dance. Let Dance SPA show you how!”

Building Success Through Customer Service

When we asked Christa what their secret is to such a strong online reputation at Dance SPA, she said:

“I think it all boils down to great customer service.”

Christa told us that, once you have the great customer service piece down, your clients will want to support you by leaving you positive online reviews.

Apart from building the kind of online reputation any business would envy, Dance SPA has spread the word about their service through word of mouth:

“We thank our clients and tell them to go rate us or share us with their friends.”

Every business owner wants to grow their business and build their online reputation the way Dance SPA has. After we asked Christa what advice she has for those business owners, she shared a little bit of advice someone gave her:

“You can’t win the game unless you’re in the game. Constantly try to keep up on it. Get uncomfortable for success. Constantly be learning and pushing yourself to learn new things.”


Congratulations to the team at Dance SPA for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Christa, for taking the time to speak with us!
