“We couldn't be happier that our daughter discovered GUS®. My daughter participated in the Pre/Professional Intensive this summer. They teach dance at a very high level, while maintaining strong values and a wonderful sense of good sportsmanship. It's truly wonderful to see our daughter dancing her heart out each day. The teachers at GUS® have absolutely gone above and beyond and created a learning environment that brings so much joy to my daughter. I am blown away.” — Parent of Dancer 16yrs

“My daughter has been dancing for a very long time… This past summer she attended the Pre/Professional Intensive program at Gus Giordano Dance School in Chicago, and the experience was truly amazing. The GUS® faculty offered a variety of techniques and disciplines as well as personal feedback that she needed to push herself to the next level. The special guest instructors added a unique sense of inspiration and professionalism. Thank you Amy and faculty for providing such a high level of quality instruction and experience.” — Parent of Dancer 13yrs
