Opened in January 2014, our new facility offers 25,000 square feet including 8 studios for dance instruction, a full service retail store, a deli, sewing department, and spacious lobby. Our current enrollment is just over 900 students, including approximately 200 students who compete in regional and national dance competitions. We have students from all areas in and around Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota (including Wisconsin).
We currently offer over forty classes for recreational students of all skill levels, ages three to adult, who wish to take class once or twice a week. To allow each student an appropriate amount of one-on-one attention, classes are typically limited to 12-15 dancers. All students will perform in our end-of-year recital in the spring.
We currently have ten competition lines (including two adult lines) for students ages five to adult. The competition lines are for dedicated dancers who wish to take several classes a week and compete in regional and national competitions. Even though these students are busy dancing, many still find time for other sports.
