Going to college for dance???? In the Chicago land area! PLEASE HELP?

Question:I've been living in California going to college for interior design... but I'm not happy, and i want to spend my life doing something I love! not something I'm doing just to make a lot of money...

Can ANYONE give me colleges they know of or seaches for colleges that have a dance program in Chicago, or the south suburbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to open a studio, so anyone who works at a studio or owns one.. if they could tell me how they got started!

Well, it depends what kind of dance you'd like to do... There's the Dance Center of Chicago (http://www.dancecenterchicago.com/), Columbia college (http://www.colum.edu/Academics/dance/ind... NIU (http://www.niu.edu/theatre/), Northwestern (http://commweb.soc.northwestern.edu/danc... South Illinois University (http://www.siue.edu/THEATER/), and the University of Illinois (http://www.dance.uiuc.edu/intro.html). I hope that helps a little.
