Our Mission

Forevermore Dance & Theatre Arts is founded on a love for the arts and a passion to educate and enrich lives.

We encourage our students to explore their potential, inspiring them to dream, and challenging them to do their best. The dedication and discipline they learn will instill them with the ability to make those dreams come true.

Our friendly, professional teachers and staff help our students develop their talents and special skills in a fun-filled supportive environment.

We give our students opportunities to perform and build self-confidence.  This, along with the quality training we provide, helps to inspire an enduring love for the arts and opens doors to the empowerment of self-expression.

So whether you are young or old, or in between, let's share in the spirit of the performing arts now, and Forevermore!

Steven Kellert  Ballroom NEW CLASSES FORMING SOON!	Steven Kellert has taught, competed in, and enjoyed social dancing for over 11 years. After a simple phone call to his sister Lynne, they took their first ballroom class. Seven weeks later they wound up in their first competition. They placed second in Foxtrot and Waltz (having learned Waltz two days prior) and first in Tango. They went on to win many other ribbons (including one in Samba, which continues to baffle them both) and perform in front of crowds all over the Washington, DC area. Competing is now a thing of the past for Steven, and his main emphasis is on FUN! He has taught classes and workshops for all levels and ages while adhering to a strict philosophy: Just smile and keep moving your feet. Originally a musician, he started modern dance in college and fell into ballroom shortly thereafter. A few years later, he discovered country dancing and enjoys all of them whenever he can. Steven moved to Chicago on Labor Day, 2005 and works as a freelance editor to support his artistic endeavors in writing, music, and dance.
