With all of the bad and negative that’s been going on in the year 2020, Rebecca McCarthy School of Dance has been a HUGE positive that my family is so grateful for. Rebecca has AP 3000 purifiers placed throughout the studio which makes me feel comfortable with my daughter going into the studio during these times. I also know that I’m leaving my daughter in good hands when I drop her off at dance. The teachers at RMSD teach their students to dance while building a relationship with them so that it’s easy to motivate them to be the best dancers that they can be. I have also watched older dancers help teach the younger dancers in class which teaches the older dancers how to be leaders and roll models to the younger dancers, not to mention that my daughter thinks she’s cool when hanging with the “older girls” who are so sweet to her. All good things to say about this studio!

Rebecca McCarthy School of Dance is a wonderful, professional, and family oriented dance studio. The studio makes everyone that walks in feel like family. The teachers really care about the dancers and want the best for them! They perform all around the area. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone.

My kids absolutely loved dancing with Miss Rebecca! She is kind and patient while teaching technique and helping kids grow as dancers. This is a place where they felt comfortable and welcomed from the second they walked in. Thank you for developing their skills and making it fun at the same time!

Love! Love! Love this dance studio! The instructors are wonderful and put so much into teaching their classes. The love and concern for each girl shows! My daughter has grown so much in her years at RMSD. Love our dance family.

When I drop my daughter off at RMSD it is nice to see so many happy little faces. It is also comforting to know that Rebecca McCarthy School of Dance has installed the highest quality of air purifiers and air scrubbers and ALWAYS has the best interest of all her dancers at heart.

RMSD is the most family oriented studio around! With all the negativity in this world right now, this place has brought nothing but positivity. Constantly pushing to keep the kids and be families happy through such hard times. Beyond grateful for RMSD and doing everything in their power to make it a happy and healthy place!

Absolutely beside myself that Rebecca McCarthy (our former dance studio) took her Dance Troup to downtown Crystal Lake on November 28th, 2020. During the height of the Covid Pandemic, she had over six teenage girls dancing and hugging in the street with NO masks and NO social distancing. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of behavior to the community of Crystal Lake, surrounding communities and to the girls whose safety is in her hands. Shame on you Rebecca McCarthy! You put many lives in danger for no reason, all they had to do was wear a mask and dance to the rules of social distancing!

Our daughter started ballet at 18 months and intermittently participated at another studio in town and at the park district. When she was 3, we started her with Rebecca McCarthy. This is where her love for dance truly fostered! She immediately took to Rebecca and the studio, and is in her 3rd year of dancing with no end in sight (which were excited about)! Our experience with RMSD has been nothing short of wonderful. The program is excellent, the instructors are phenomenal. Everything is organized, articulate, and well thought out- the schedule, special events, picture day, recital, etc. The energy and passion Rebecca has shows in all she does, and most importantly, shows in the dancers. We are grateful to be here and highly recommend.

By far the best dance studio! All the instructors are so great with kids & incredibly attentive. My two daughters (8 & 11) have been taking dance lessons & love it so much. They are more confident & poised, I love seeing them improve & enjoy themselves so much.

We have been with the Rebecca McCarthy School of Dance for 7 years now and both my daughters LOVE it!! I researched many studios in the area and RMSD was by far the best! They offer a wide variety of dance styles, the instructors are very professional, structured, and great with kids. Every time my daughter performs with the dance company at different events, spectators will come up and say how wonderful the dancers are and how impressed they are! I have recommended this studio to many families and will continue to do so. We are so lucky to have a studio that makes us feel like we are a part of their dance family!

Rebecca McCarthy School of Dance has come to our preschool for the last couple years during March (St. Patricks Day Season) and we have ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! She teaches the children all about St. Patricks Day and teaches them all Irish Dancing! What a great program this dance studio has!

Hands down the best studio in the area. We researched and visited many studios around but nothing compared to RMSD. My daughter’s dance career started right before her 2nd birthday and she has loved all her instructors every step of the way.

My daughter is enrolled in the Rebecca McCarthy School of Dance and absolutely loves it. To be honest, I looked at other schools in the Crystal Lake and Algonquin area and none come close to what this school offers. The prices here are better than the others and the staff and instructors are friendly and courteous. The McDance Company offers endless opportunities to perform.
