Dance Center Evanston

Director Béa Rashid founded Dance Center Evanston in 1994. Since then, DCE has worked hard to develop its reputation as one of the best centers of dance training in the area. Our commitment to inspiring young people to be the best dancers they can be is one of the primary reasons for our growth, along with our highly trained and experienced staff, and the sense of community fostered within our walls. We have grown from a two-room studio on Davis Street to a six-studio facility complete with a professional, state-of-the-art theater and a 20+ person teaching and administrative staff. We support Evanston Dance Ensemble, the not-for-profit youth dance company in residence, and provide opportunities to our students for both training and performance. Our goal is to continue to offer the highest quality dance education and serve Evanston and its surrounding communities by providing arts programming to residents.
