History

Established in 1999.

We first started teaching privately within our own home, but eventually we got popular as people enjoyed how we taught, we needed a larger area for dancing and teaching. So we officially started Dance Time With Friends in 1999.

Business Owner

The Dance Time with Friends, Inc. (DTWF) dance studio, which is owned and operated by Ed and Luming de la Cruz, is located at 8800-​A Dempster Plaza, W. Dempster St., Niles, IL. When students walk in the well-​decorated and spacious dance studio — 2400sq.ft. of wooden floors, mirrored walls, and high ceilings — they are welcomed with warm smiles. The environment is friendly, supportive, and professional. Ed and Luming wanted a dance studio that truly represents the main objective of quality and finesse in social dancing and ultimately for their students to develop self-​confidence when they set foot on the dance floor. Ed and Luming have studied privately with renowned World Champion Nadia Eftedal and U.S. dance champions, such as Ron Montez, Bob Powers and Julia Gorchakova, Brian and Susan Puttock, David and Carrie Kloss, Victor and Heather Smith-​Veyrasset, and Chris Morris.
