My name is Doreen Bickford. I am committed to providing quality dance, and I must have the same commitment from my students. I believe that ballet is one of the most precious arts. I provide semi-private instruction. My students learn and review the fundamentals and technique in dance.

Dance education remains priority #1. Performance complement, but education of dance is my foundation.

I am affiliated with American Academy of Ballet, and a member of the Chicago National Association of Dance Masters.

I have studied with both the American Academy and Royal Academy of Dance. My concentration is on the English method of Classical Ballet.

On My Toz dance studio offers:

Beginner Ballet

On My Toz originated in 1989. I started with two semi-private classes per week with at total of eight students. As of 1998, I am currently running fourteen semi-private classes per week with a total of fifty-eight students.

I am currently working towards my certification for Dance Educator with the Chicago Dance Masters Association. I meanwhile attend dance workshops and dance training schools with Chicago Dance Masters Association and American Academy of Ballet so that I may further assist my students in their educational program.

I am enthusiastic in the belief of giving 110% of myself now - for the betterment of the future.

Mission Statement: YOU CAN, TOO!
