About Studio E
Connecting passionate dance instructors with eager students since 2023.
Our Story
Studio E was founded in 2023 with a simple mission: Unlock confidence, creativity, and technical mastery for all.
What began as a series of conversations with dance instructors in Chicago grew into an idea for a marketplace that would connect thousands of eager students with top instructors who are experienced, trustworthy, and dedicated to achieving results.
Our platform was created to provide a space where creatives and hobbyists alike could achieve their potential and engage with their best selves.
We hold our instructors accountable for:
- The growth of their students through structured privates
- Model behavior inside and outside of their lessons
- Clear and reliable communication with their clients
- An inclusive teaching environment
- A path of continuous learning
