Classes for Adults
Choose from hundreds of classes in music, dance, and the performing arts.
We offer classes for every interest, inclination and skill level.
Learn at your own pace in a relaxed, non-competitive group setting.
It's the Old Town School way - since 1957.
Come when it's convenient.
Most of our classes for adults are in the evenings and on weekends, at both our Lincoln Park and Lincoln Square locations.

Thursday Night Workshops
Every Thursday, learn dance, music and culture from around the world! These special 6:00 PM workshops have included, among many other things, Brazilian Percussion, Salsa Dance and Cajon!
Browse all Thursday workshops.
Classes for Kids
Music, Art, Dance, Theater - more fun than learning ought to be allowed to be.
Registration for current classes is ongoing for Wiggleworms, Kangaroos, Scribble and Yoga.
Wiggleworms | Piano | Violin | Art | Dance | Music | Theater

Classes for Teens
Anyone 13 and over can take an Adult Group Class - and we also offer a great set of classes for students aged 11 - 18: same quality, slightly more angst.
Private Lessons
Lessons are scheduled weekly, for 30, 45 or 60 minutes, and are available every day of the week at our Lincoln Square, Lincoln Park and Lakeview locations.
