ABOUT US

The Best Dance Studio Now In Both Wheaton & Geneva

LOVV first opened its doors in 2014 with the promise of a studio where dancers can grow and develop together as a family; a studio that will become a fundamental piece in their personal growth. Over the years, we have had a few different homes within our community of Wheaton, IL. From our first classroom which we rented from the basement of a ballroom studio to our current state of the art facility with 5 studio rooms, we’ve always built and designed with our students and their families in mind. In 2025 we will be opening our second location in Geneva. We are so honored and excited to spread LOVV to this new community and can't wait to meet all our new students who will become family there.

A Mission of Movement

Mission

Our mission at LOVV The Dance Studio is to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where every student is valued and supported on their dance journey. We are committed to offering the highest quality dance instruction across all dance disciplines, emphasizing proper technique, artistry and performance. Through mentorship and a focus on character development, we aim to empower students to grow not only as dancers but as leaders, instilling discipline, confidence and resilience both in the studio and beyond.

Vision

We strongly believe that dance as an art form is one of the most beautiful and exciting experiences one can have in life. Our vision is to be a leading dance studio that nurtures a passion for the arts while shaping confident, well-rounded individuals. Our goal is that we have inspired and guided each dancer to reach their full potential in order to foster a lifelong love of dance and personal growth. By prioritizing both exceptional dance education and character-building, we aspire to create a community of dancers connected for life.

Why Us?

We stand out because we care about your dancers and we want everyone to get the encouragement to progress whether it’s their goal to be on the competition team or to dance for fun. It’s our job to make sure they get there with the best instruction, the best knowledge, with the most support and the most convenience.
