Best Dynamics Dance

oted One of the Best Dance Studios & Schools in Kane County, Dance Dynamics is a thriving center for imaginative artistry and creative movement with owner Brittnie Quinn at the helm.

After opening her first dance studio in Aurora in 2008, Quinn sought to be closer to home in Geneva. “We moved into Mill Creek and outgrew that space,” she said. “After ten years of being open for business, we found the 5,000 square foot storefront in Batavia and made our move.”

Dance Dynamics starts curriculum at age two, teaching the basics and foundations of dance. “We have a tot program to introduce the basics of ballet, tap and jazz to 3-5-year-olds. We also have a tiny ballerinas program for 2-year-olds,” says Quinn. “Then we go into our Level I program, which is geared toward ages six, seven and eight, and that’s where we specialize in ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop. From the ages of eight and up, our levels increase, the number of hours increase and we also introduce musical theater and modern. Once we get into a high level of ballet, we have Pointe.”

At the end of their fall semester, Dance Dynamics presents a Christmas show. Then, they perform a spring recital after their spring semester. “We love watching them onstage,” says Quinn. “That’s why we have multiple showcases a year.”

For as long as she can remember, Quinn has been a part of the dance world, growing up in her mother and grandmother’s dance studio. “I was born into the facility and started dancing as soon as I could walk – it became a huge passion of mine,” says Quinn. “I ended up attending Chicago Academy for the Arts for high school. There, you have academics in the morning and your art form in the afternoon. I attended that program for two years and then I homeschooled so I could finish early. Then, I went to Columbia College to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts.”

Quinn continues this legacy through her own instructors, ensuring they have the experience and knowledge to enrich their students’ craft. “All of my teachers are technically and competitively trained,” she says. “Most of our instructors have degrees in dance and we all strive to teach proper dance technique to all of our dancers from the very beginning of their training with us.”

With plenty of space for new students in their programs, it’s important to understand what sets Dance Dynamics apart. “The main thing we focus across ten teachers. We also have a competitive team, so we offer both recreational classes and competitive.”

Coming this fall, Dance Dynamics will be opening a competitive, all-boys team, augmenting their current all-boys recreational program.

“We also perform at local festivals like Elburn Days and St. Charles Scarecrow Fest,” says Quinn. “Please come out and see them perform this fall.”

Dance Dynamics attended nationals in South Carolina in June and won first overall as national champion winners for the 2023 season against other dance companies from all over the nation. They were also named “Studio on Fire” as well as “Most Entertaining” and “Best Choreography.” They’re looking forward to an amazing 2024 season.
