Founded in '09 with the intent of nurturing arts and culture in the far south suburbs of Chicago, Room To Move was formed as a studio rental co-op. Our co-op Residents offer classes, workshops and events in many disciplines and styles of dance and movement based arts; including our big yearly showcase 'Time To Groove'. The studio is a home for instructors, artists and the community as a whole. New Residents and renters are always welcome. Whether you are interested in taking or offering weekly classes, workshops, master classes, rehearsing, pop up retail events, trunk shows, craft fairs, meetings, birthday parties, bridal showers, or any suitable gathering of people in a space, we could be the perfect option for you! 
Warmly decorated, the space was designed to make you feel comfortable and at home. The studio measures 20' x 36' and offers many features such as:
