    Anna Strojek is amazing!!! I know nothing about ballroom dance at all, so I took a private class with her. She is very professional and has a lot of techniques, very patient and make me feel very comfortable to dance. I had learn a lot form her Salsa, Rumba, Hustle, East coast swing, Cha Cha, and Waltz. The way she explains and show me, make me get it easily and I really enjoy dancing. Thank you Anna.

    Empowering lives through Dance I’ve thought about that line at the top of Anna’s page many times as she has enthusiastically corrected my attempts at dancing. It has been a life long desire for me to learn to dance, and I think I can say with some confidence that I have achieved toddler status. That is not to mock what Anna has accomplished, because thanks to her excellent teaching, I have accomplished a couple of things in addition to the basics. I had the joy of a choreographed dance with my daughter at her wedding, and I was able to go onto the dance floor after the ceremony and have a great time. In addition to that Anna challenged me to learn a choreographed dance routine that she created for a regional showcase. I had the privilege of dancing with her in front of a crowd, as did several other of my fellow students, and it was very challenging and rewarding. Anna seems tirelessly creative, and impossibly patient. I wanted to say thank you this holiday season for the way she has changed my life with dance, and came up with a simple acrostic that speaks to some of the tools she’s taught me on this journey.
    Determination: when those feet just will not go where theyre supposed to, relax and try again
    Attitude: stay positive, have fun
    Natural: Everyone learns at their own pace, be yourself
    Confidence: Believe you can do this and hold that damn frame! Excellence: Always seek your very best, wherever it is that day.

    I’ve been dancing with Anna Strojek since i started more than 3 years ago. She’s a perfectionist. All the details from the routine down to the costume should be perfect. Feels like it’s just yesterday when we won at the 2015 WSDC. That was one of the best days of my life. It was really a pleasure having her as my dance partner. She’s a great teacher...And a good friend as well.

    Lake Shore Dance Academy is operated by professional ballroom dance instructor Anna Strojek. Anna is one of the best ballroom dance instructors in the Chicagoland area! Her ballroom dancing expertise and professionalism, together with her charming personality, patience, and sense of humor, make her an ideal dancing instructor at any level from beginner to advanced student.
    When I started lessons with Anna, I knew little about ballroom dancing. But in just a few months, Anna taught me how to dance with confidence to the dance styles I was most interested in learning! And we had so much fun doing it!
    Anna understands that dancing can change lives and is more than just teaching dance steps. She tailors her lessons to the needs and desires of each of her students.
    Whether you are beginner or an advanced dancer, or are getting ready for a wedding or special event, you will really enjoy your lessons with Anna!!

    Anna is an amazing teacher. She challenges and pushes you to do better all while having fun at the same time. Her enthusiasm for dancing is contagious and inspiring. What seems like an impossible dance move becomes fluid and almost second nature with her instruction. Im always looking forward to our next class together. I highly recommend her.

    I recently restarted ballroom classes after a several year hiatus. I was excited yet very nervous about restarting lessons. I lost, in my opinion, so much of my movement ability from the years without dancing and a recent Achilles tendon issue. Anna was able to get me moving...and not be as frustrated with my perfectionist self as I have been known to be. I have a goal of performing a dance later this year, and, in just a few lessons, that goal is becoming more of a reality... I highly recommend lessons with Anna...even if you are filled with self criticality...try... step outside your boundries...youll learn more about your self, how you can push through the limits you may or may not have realized you have, and learn the grace, poise, and elegance that all of us can use as we go through this journey of life!
