Testimonials
McKenna Clark
Former illFX Student & Faculty Member
I’ve had the pleasure of watching illFX Education grow into a home for so many dancers including myself. What I admire so much about illFX is whether there are 40 students or 200 students, illFX never lost that feeling of community. illFX gives you the tools and training necessary to develop into the dancer you want to be, whether it be a teacher, performer, or artist. The artist I am today is beautifully shaped by the amazing community that makes up illFX Education, and I couldn’t be more proud of that.

I love dancing with illFX because they don't just bring hip hop to the table but they give you a variety of different dances styles for you to try. Like House, Afrohouse, Popping, Locking and way more! Lastly, I love illFX because they are so welcoming and it really makes me feel like I'm part of a big happy family! ❤

illFX to this day, holds such a special place in my life. illFX was a place where I quickly found my second home. Soon after joining a team, the people whom I was surrounded by became more than just teammates, but a family. The relationships that I made from the beginning are ones that I still hold close to me to this day.

“I don’t think I [could find another] studio that looks at family the way illFX does!”
“All of the teachers are so knowledgable and are always learning about the history/roots of the various styles offered so that we can also learn about the culture we are partaking in.”
“illFX is one big family that excludes no one.”
