Dancenter North
After 45 historic years in Libertyville, DCN relocated in 2019 to its current home in Gurnee under the direction and ownership of Stacy Joy Keller and Geno Kett. Carrying on rich tradition, including the annual production of “The Magic of the Nutcracker”, DCN has become a home away from home for countless students in the northern suburbs; providing a nurturing, body-positive, and healthy environment in which to train properly.
Whether a student is interested in studying recreationally or aims to pursue a career in the field of dance, one can be assured that our methods of study and our professional staff of instructors will allow a student to learn and develop in a most correct manner.
