A new dance studio will soon be opening on 95th Street.
A storefront that was once a popular destination for Evergreen Park feet could be on track to becoming that once again after the Evergreen Park Village Board unanimously approved a business license for the Morgan Dance Academy at 3850 W. 95th St. In the 1980s and ‘90s, the building was home to Red Wing Shoes, which outgrew the locations and moved about 14 years ago to its current home at 3347 W. 95th St. Most recently, the space was a tax services office.
