my name is Brittni Thorne. I have been dancing since 12 years old. Since i was very young I always wanted to teach people and I loved to dance. I realized at a young age that dancing taught me more than just some dance moves. It improved my confidence, made me more social, gave me a great form
of exercise, helped me with coordination and balance, made me more sensitive to touch, and taught me a skill I could use all the time. I am truly blessed i can continue to learn something new everyday and work with fantastic students.

My fiance and I wanted to learn to dance together and learn choreography for our first dance. After working with Brittni for only five lessons, WOW. She is patient, but still tough. My fiance had ZERO dance experience and the improvement I've seen in him is amazing. She is definitely giving us our moneys worth with her choreography as well, the dance so far is beautiful. I can't wait to continue to take classes with Brittni, I would highly recommend.

My wife was a dance teacher herself, and when it came time for our wedding dance, she searched tirelessly across all of Illinois to find the very best teacher for us. She found that teacher in Brittni.
If you're a first-timer, nervous about stepping into the world of dance, Brittni will make you feel like you belong. She has this incredible ability to welcome you with warmth and encouragement, making you believe in the progress you're bound to make with her by your side. Her kindness, patience, and sweetness shine through in every lesson.
And more than that. She knows what she's doing.
Brittni won’t just teach you how to dance—she will transform you into a dancer, and she'll be so proud of your journey that she'll want to show you off to others. That's the kind of pride she takes in her students.
But the true magic of Brittni lies in the way she makes you feel. Not only does she nurture your growth as a dancer, but she also nurtures your heart. For couples, her lessons bring you closer together in a way you never imagined.
Through her lessons, my wife looks at me like she’s seeing me for the very first time every time we practice. And it's not just me; I see how Brittni’s influence radiates in every life she touches, transforming people, bringing them closer to the ones they love.
I could never put into words the gratitude I feel for Brittni and all that she has done—not just for me and my wife, but for herself as well. I am just as proud of her as I am of the growth we've made together.
Stop searching. Simply go to Brittni. You'll understand why.

We had an amazing experience at The Dance Lab! Brittni taught us our wedding dance, and it was a huge hit with everyone. Her teaching style is fantastic—she's patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled. Brittni made us feel confident and prepared for our big day. We couldn't have asked for a better dance instructor. Highly recommend The Dance Lab and Brittni for any dance lessons!

My fiancé and I are currently taking lessons with Brittni for our first dance, and we can’t say enough great things about her! Neither of us had any professional dance experience, and we were initially pretty intimidated, but Brittni’s patience and encouragement have made the process so much fun. She takes the time to understand our learning styles and adjusts her teaching accordingly, which has helped us feel more confident with each lesson. Her experience and guidance have truly put us at ease, and we know we’ll be fully prepared (and excited!) for our wedding day. Plus, her studio has such a great ambiance—it’s a warm, welcoming space that makes every lesson even more enjoyable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dance instructor!

Brittni made the reception! With Covid restrictions in place we were limited on what we could do at the restaurant. Brittni saved the day. All ages participated. We also took private lessons with her before the wedding.

My husband and I took dance lessons from Brittni so we could dance at a family wedding we were attending. Brittni was so knowledgeable, wonderful to work with and a patient teacher. Brittni dances beautifully and passed those skills on to us. We have continued with our dance lessons with Brittni . We highly recommend Brittni
