EMPOWERING BODIES SINCE 2004

“... I was thrilled to find Synapse Arts classes two years ago and my kids are attending their third session this winter at Loyola.  I want them to experience the joy in the artistic expression of dance without being limited by antiquated notions of what a dancer looks like. ...I am grateful to Synapse Arts for providing this fun and enriching opportunity to them.”

 

Parent, 2023 Programming

Our Educational Programming

Our kids and adult movement classes are rooted in a values approach. We serve families and professional dancers year-round and periodically provide intensive study at other locations through workshops and residencies.

Current classes are taught at four locations: Loyola Park, Berger Park Cultural Center, Lincoln Park Cultural Center, and Clarendon Community Center Park where Synapse Arts works as an Arts Partner in Residence with the Chicago Park District.
