Ballroom & Wedding Dance Studio: what do users think?

Barb Silk: Tom is great. His patience with your level of understanding the moves and rhythm of music is beyond compare. It is what made it possible for my husband and I to finally dance.

Katy Grandbois: Tom is AMAZING! He is a great teacher/instructor. Even if you have zero dance experience he will help you learn the basics to build your confidence and just that will make such a difference! The hour goes by so fast! My husband and I are SO glad we did this and will use what we learned forever- with any song or style of music. My only regret is we didn’t start sooner! We only had time to fit in 4 sessions before our wedding but we are so happy with how much we’ve learned and are so excited to show off our new skills.

corey carraher (Snowjeenyus1): He was awesome in helping us feel comfortable on the dance floor! Both father daughter dance and gave us tips for the bride and groom dance. Very personable and easy to take direction from. Would absolutely recommend 👌

Eric B: 5/5 stars, our wedding would have not been as good and amazing without our dance. Everyone thought it made our wedding. We had amazed all of our wedding guests with our dancing. Thank you. We hope to do more dancing another time.

James Bjorvik: Tommy was absolutely amazing. This is not typically something I would love to do but he made it super enjoyable, and definitely so much fun! Our dance was amazing. Thank you so much, Tom.

Anna Gustafson: Tom is an amazing dance instructor! With no prior ballroom dance experience, he taught us the basics in an easy-to-understand way and built on our skills each week. Tom made us feel very comfortable and confident with our dancing. He’s very approachable and even puts on fun events over the weekends. Couldn’t recommend his classes more!

Jennifer Parker Neal: Tom Larson gave us the confidence to go for it for our first dance at our wedding. He gives very practical advice that's easy to follow and helps you get you where you want to go. We had 3 lessons, and it was exactly what we needed. Definitely worth the cost. Highly, highly recommend!

Hannah & Todd Brandon: Dance lessons with Tom are fun and SUPER effective. We felt confident and our dance was the highlight of our wedding reception! We got a 5 pack of lessons and felt excited to practice at home. Tom taught us how our moves can be used to different types of music and now we go out dancing more often.

Jeffrey Givens: My fiance and I just finished a set of lessons with Tom, and we had such a great experience. Tom is very patient and approachable, down to earth and very nice. I was hesitant at first to take dance lessons because I didn't know what to expect and thought it would be a bit demoralizing and strict. But not with Tom, he teaches and leads in a way that makes you feel very comfortable and eager to do better. He helped us break down our first dance song and understand where certain moves would work best with the timing. We would highly recommend coming here for wedding dance lessons!

Christian Haudenschild: Wonderful experience. Tom is a great teacher.

Lauren LaVelle: . He made it easy to understand the basics and gave us a few great moves without making it difficult with counting steps. We feel so confident for our first dance at our wedding, and our family all have a few great moves and techniques that they can use for a lifetime! Highly recommend!

Kelli Besser: He made us feel comfortable from day one and made sure we were always having a good time but also made sure we got every minute out of every dance lesson we took.Tom is creative, patient and knows exactly what each one of his students needs to succeed in dance lessons.We walked into Tom’s studio not knowing how to put one foot in front of the other and showed up to our wedding with a dance that left people talking about it for days after. THANK YOU TOM!- Alex and Kelli Prince

Brian M: suggested Tom to others who are interested. Even if you're just looking for lessons rather than any particular purpose, please give Tom a shot. You won't be disappointed.5/5 stars given for a job well done.

Angela Johnson: Positive:Communication,ProfessionalismTom was an excellent instructor. We took 6 dance lessons before our wedding, and he was great at teaching and making things simple so it was easy to learn. We felt comfortable and confident dancing at our wedding and we are looking forward to using our skills in the future.

Julia: Tom was awesome! He really cares about his students actually learning and becoming comfortable with a dance. My husband and I learned our first dance with him for our wedding and I am so happy we did that! Our wedding guests loved it as much as we did! I had zero dancing experience and we were able to pull off a very memorable wedding dance thanks to Tom and his patience, thoroughness, follow-up, and awesome ability to teach! I highly recommend!

Ronald and Edith Reese: Exceptionally creative and patient. Created routines for us for two family weddings: bride and groom, father daughter, mother son dances. You can’t find a better place for this. Our daughter came from NC just for Tom’s lessons.

Emily Eckberg: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueTom does a great job tailoring lessons to your skill level and pace. He makes you feel comfortable and helps build confidence in your dance moves.

Margaret Miller: Absolutely the best dance class I have ever taken. I honestly don't know how they pull off having so many instructors per student but it is magical.

Basically I love this place and think everyone should try it.

Michael Kane: Great tango instruction from a diverse team of generous, qualified, and patient instructors. I love this place. I started here, and eight years on I still love learning here.

DeMure Dance: what do users think?

Craig Hutchison: Had so much fun! The instruction is quite clear, positive and low-pressure. But with just enough accountability that you will actually develop your skill. After 4 weeks I went from zero to feeling confident enough to hit the dance floor. Happily signing up for another session.

Lisa Willis: Demure Dance Salsa One was a great introduction to Salsa! The instructors are great teachers, breaking up the dance in steps that make it easy to understand as you progress. And it’s so fun!

Chiharu Miller: Shaleena is a wonderful instructor. I leaned a lot from her. Fun and casual atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Erin Raab: Wonderful! I was a little worried about taking group classes on my own, and I haven't danced in ages, but this was both super fun and great learning. I feel like I progressed a LOT in just four weeks.

Nahomy Arauz: I took Salsa class level I, and I really liked it! The instructor, Shaleena, is very patient and friendly. She really makes the class enjoyable. You don’t feel judge or out of place.

Trever Cramer: Great dance studio. Instructors are great and friendly. Had a great time with the level 1 class.

Carmel Do Rego: I have been taking Salsa classes for the first time through DeMure and have been loving the experience. The instructors are super knowledgeable and help us feel comfortable and more confident. 100% would recommend!

Its not always about dance, its about incredible people with incredible stories and from all walks of life. I'm grateful to have found my place for dance, community, and family!!!

Vinicius Silva: where we dance in a big circle and the callers call steps which we have to remember in order to perform the moves with you dance partners. It is fast pace and so fun.

The Dance Co-op: what do users think?

Jennifer Underwood: PDC is the most amazing studio. This is my daughter's third season and under the direction of these amazing choreographers her skills are improving by leaps and bounds. Technique and safety are carefully observed. However, their choreography is top notch. Love this studio. My daughter works harder than I have ever seen her work and still has a smile on her face. She voluntarily dances for 12 hours per week and yet after three years dance is still incentive enough for her to keep her grades high and for her to do her chores. Fabulous bunch of families and staff. You won't regret this decision.

Jennifer McKinley: My daughter has been dancing here for 4 years. She absolutely loves all of her classes and teachers! Highly recommend!

Skylar hall: This studio is my home and forever will be!!I have made so many amazing memories and learned so many new things.We have amazing staff , parents and students. Here I express my true self and I can dance all my problems away. Wouldn't trade them for anything!!

Inaya Hughes: i dance here everyday they are nice and u will learn fun things

Allison McElfresh: The fostering and teamwork from parents, dancers, and volunteers, is a place I will have my child be apart of. The genuine energy, TALENT, and passion for dance clearly brings life long friendships here. The artistic directors and teachers? Wow! Take my breathe away. This is the place to be. It has changed my life! Our family loves Phoenix Dance Cooperative!!!

Dance With Us America: what do users think?

Samantha Burwinkel: My fiance and I took wedding dance lessons with Jordan. She is so creative and thoughtful, and helped us develop an unforgettable first dance. Neither of us had any dance experience prior to this, but she took her time and helped us master first the simple steps, then some more challenging ones. She is so enthusiastic and encouraging. We had five sessions with her and feel that we are ready for our wedding day! This has absolutely been our favorite part of planning our wedding and I recommend everyone try a fun choreographed first dance with Jordan!

Orlando Rodriguez: Positive:Quality,Value

Matt Kane: They're the best.

Rachelika's Art: Great Dance Studio ! Proffesional instruction and all they do ! Knowledgeable instructors ! Always happy and ready to help their students to progress in their dancing , to achieve excellent successful results on a dance floor ! Costumers and students are very important and valuable here ! Amazing team people ! Great opportunity for everyone to learn all styles of Ballroom , Latin , Social , Competitive , Wedding , Fitness Dances and so much more ! Always make people feel warmly welcomed ! Great spacious ballroom dance floor , which helps to learn better footwork !

Liam Titan: Always a welcoming feeling and great environment at Dance with us America! Gene and Lena bring a lot of passion and love into everything they do! Highly recommended

Ashley Cooper: I have danced at one point or another at almost all the ballroom and latin studios in the metro and surrounding area. I wish I would have started with Dance With Us America. There is no comparison to other studios. All of the teachers have something unique to offer depending on your interests. From social to beginner on up to competitive dancing, you will amaze yourself at what can be accomplished even in just one lesson. You don’t need a partner. Truly anyone can learn to dance- from 4 years to beyond retirement age. The owners, Gene and Elena, are probably some of the coolest people you will ever meet- incredible dancers, passionate teachers and fun to be around. I look forward to every single group or private lesson.

Tari Sherry: By far the best studio in Minnesota. No matter what your age, learning to dance is hard work. But this team of instructors make it fun, exciting and challenging.

Rebecca Robinson: I love Dance with Us America!!

Stella Sick: .Our children has been dancing with the studio since 2011, and we are thrilled to bring them to the place where they see first hand how thoughtful and dedicated practice produces good results

christine dahn: Top quality instruction for both adults and kids. Instructors always give 110% to their students! And are truly some of the kindest people I've ever met!

Stephanie Riley: I love Dance With Us America so much!! The coaches have an incredible knowledge of all dance styles! From learning a wedding dance, to wanting to compete or just dance for fun this is the perfect place! This studio makes me feel like family!! Gene and Elena are the best!!!! I have so much fun here and I look forward to training here each week!!

Knockout Bodies Pole & Aerial Studio: what do users think?

Vanessa Zins: I went to a bachelorette party event where we were introduced to the Lyra and silks. As someone who has never done either, I thought the instructor was incredible. She broke down the steps in such a simple way, and built every new move on the previous one. I am far from good at it, but it was a fun experience. It is a clean and cute studio. The staff at check-in were helpful and patient during waiver signing. Street parking was easy.

Heather R Swensen: Great studio. The street has parking and felt safe. The studio is clean and the environment is welcoming. Teacher was knowledgeable and made it fun! Highly Recommend.

Danielle Pebbles: I am in my second round of "Intro to Lyra".I liked it so much I wanted to try it again before I move to more advanced classes.I received an email before the class started on what the expectations were and how the class would be structured. The instructor I have had is Jane and they are just so wonderful and funny. Besides being very informative Jane was very patient and encouraging of everyone in class. It's for sure a challenge, but rewarding as well.this studio is adaptive for all body sizes and types which I so grateful for. Thank you for such a fun class. ❤️

Jaclyn Bohm: It was a lot of fun. Sienna was great at breaking down the moves for us who have never done this before.

Alyssa Taubin: I stopped here while traveling, and as someone who owns a studio and has visited over 50 other studios around the world, this was among the friendliest group of dancers I've ever walked into. I was immediately treated like a part of the studio community. I'd highly recommend this studio to any locals or visitors looking for a space that feels like home. Y'all are always welcome at Positive Spin in Seattle 3

Sandra Shepard: I was pretty nervous starting cause i have almost no real experience with areal or dance, but I have had such an amazing time. The studio is beautiful. The staff are kind and patient and fun. The students are all so supportive. I’m obsessed and I love that I can feel myself getting stronger and more confident!

Allie Reischl: Enjoyed my class with Elaine Fontaine! Had a blast moving and grooving with my friends.

Brittany Duncan: This place is amazing! The owner/instructor is amazing with making everyone feel super comfortable and welcoming. As a 1st time dancer myself she went out of her way to make me feel empowered in my body! If I could give her 10 more stars I would!

Jennifer Zabinski: Do you need a way to get some movement in your life with some positive people? Take a class here. It’s a great community. It’s inclusive, safe and friendly. My favorite classes are with Steven!! He makes you feel so welcome and appreciated.

Emily D: . If you're looking for a studio that feels more like a chosen family, I can't recommend Phoenix Flight more.

Leah Medina: Such a blast!

Annie Foster: I've been doing pole classes here for about 2 months and it's absolutely amazing. All the staff, and the people who take lessons, are super nice and helpful. Everyone just wants everyone else to have fun and work out at a level that's comfortable for their body. I would highly recommend coming here!

Remy Herrera: Was introduced to this place by an instructor, and was just told to try it out and stop in for an hour session. I have no prior dancing experience or even touched a pole before. Let me tell you I am blown away with the teachings I was given in the hour session! Very impressed with the skills and instruction given! Quite a workout too but very much needed☺ looking forward to fully signing up to continue learning with all the beautiful ladies that are within! 💖

Maddie Seymour: I would highly recommend to any and everyone in the Minneapolis area!

Shelby Geldon: All the teachers are super helpful!

Four Seasons Dance Studio: what do users think?

Valerie Cooper: We just finished taking the 4 session wedding dance class and had an amazing time. Rebecca is so sweet and knowledgeable! We went in knowing nothing about formal dancing. Even though it's a group class, Rebecca is sure to spend some one on one time with each couple to make sure they know how to make the dance work for their song. She even uses your phone to video you and your partner dancing while also coaching you through it so you can go back and watch it anytime. We'll definitely be practicing before our big day, but I already feel like we know enough to surprise/impress our guest during our 1st dance at our wedding. If you're nervous about dancing in front of everyone at your wedding, take this class!! We might be back just for a fun date night activity!

Autumn Wonderlich: Dance classes from Rebecca at Four Seasons was the highlight of our wedding planning process! It was so fun to create a unique and special dance, and it helped us feel prepare for our big day. I highly recommend classes here!

Rob Cegla: . We were able to tell Rebecca our song at the start, and over the course of the month she choreographed our entire dance with us - teaching us everything from the basic step to a number of more complicated moves, at a very well-structured pace, adding little bits at a time until we had the whole song planned beat for beat.Rebecca is a great teacher - I can't tell you how many times we were shown a move and our first reaction was "How the heck are we gonna learn that??" - but by the end of the lesson, we had it down.During the group lessons, you also spend some time practicing your moves to the other couples' songs

Silka Schreiber: I visited Four Seasons Dance Studio for a one hour private class two days before my wedding. My husband and I have no experience dancing and wanted to avoid just doing the “prom sway” for our first dance. Rebecca was a fantastic teacher who worked with us for an hour and I’m still surprised how well our first dance went with only one lesson!

Madison Eckel: dance down for our wedding. We started at an Arthur Murray studio and after it taking 4 classes to even get an idea of what our full dance would look like, my husband had been taking classes here with his mom for their dance. Needless to say we switched over and Bruce opened up his schedule for us on a Saturday and Sunday two weeks before our wedding, and we had an awesome dance after just two lessons. He was so easy to work with and so helpful. Our dance was wonderful and I will never go to another commercial studio like we started at! Thank you thank you thank you Bruce!!

Thad “LeTree” Keomany: Very nice and spacey. If curious about sound proofing between rooms, its perfectly constructed. Bathrooms are nice, a lot of waiting areas to sit. This review is strictly for venue rental, does not describe the actual Dance Services.

Bill: Met my girlfriend here!

Stacy King: Took a kizomba class. They were so friendly and welcoming. They were patient, and the structure of the class is great. Highly recommend!!!

Caroline Jasper: After doing a bit of research to see what dance lessons were offered in the Minneapolis area my husband and I heard back quickly from Rebecca at Four Seasons. We purchased 4 dance lessons - used two for ourselves, one for myself and my dad, and one for my husband and his mom! Between the 4 of us we have little to no dance experience and minimal to moderate musical ability. Rebecca was an absolute joy to work with and made the process so fun!! She is a natural teacher and navigates beginners very well! She did a great job choreographing a realistic dance for all of us and we had so many compliments after the wedding! We would highly recommend Rebecca and the Four Seasons Dance Studio!

Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Minneapolis: what do users think?

Taree McCabe: Lovely studio with amazing and passionate staff. Went to a spring introductory workshop event they put on a few weeks back and loved the experience. They offered a complimentary 1 on 1 dance lesson and I had the opportunity to dance with the instructor Named Jason. I would recommend this experience for anyone who’s interested in getting into dance. It’s a lovely studio and a low pressure environment for beginners, with clear proof of the potential for success with some work put in with the awesome staff.

Noah Mwambay: I was wrong.This place was definitely worth the investment!

Blue: Arthur Murray is a great studio. I came to the Saint Paul studio with absolutely no experience in dance, and after about a year of lessons, I feel much more confident, have a range of skills, and can enjoy dancing when I might otherwise have stood and watched. Definitely worth stopping in, even just for the introductory lessons to get a foundation. 💙💃🕺

Colby Harris: Brie was a very positive and cheerful instructor helping our group learn the basic steps of Bachata and Rumba. The group lesson had multiple sessions simultaneously in the same space, which made for minor distractions and bumping shoulders, but all in all was fun.Thank you!

Katie Hepler: My wife and I began taking weekly private lessons at Arthur Murray four months before our wedding with the intention of pulling off an awesome dance in front of our friends and family. While my wife had a dance background, I had avoided dancing for most of my life because of feeling self-conscious on the dance floor. The weekly private and group lessons gave me the confidence and skill to actually get out on the dance floor and go for it with pretty much any kind of music.On our wedding day we had a fully choreographed dance routine that wowed our audience, and we went into it without any nerves, but rather with confidence and poise. This was thanks to practicing at home, attending free group classes and performing in front of our peers and instructors at Arthur Murry.Even after our spectacular wedding dance, my wife and I are continuing to take lessons at Arthur Murray. We love learning how to move together and feeling our progress at weekly dance parties. This is largely thanks to the instructors who give the feedback you need, encourage you as you improve, and nudge you into challenging yourself and getting outside your comfort zone which is critical for a performative art such as dancing. The instructors not only know their stuff, but they’re a lot of fun too.Bottom line, dancing is fun, it’s physical as you’ll learn how to hold and move your body, you’ll get the mental challenge of constantly learning and performing in front of others, and you’ll get to actually look good out on the dance floor. Arthur Murray has been a supportive, inviting atmosphere for us and dancing has been a unique, shared experience that my wife and I will continue to enjoy throughout our lives.

Ginnifer: I went to Arthur Murrays to learn how to bachata and found out there's so much more to dancing than bachata! Ballroom dancing has been a gift, a great outlet, a form of expression for me! Arthur Murray staff and teachers are warm and friendly, and provide a positive learning environment for me to grow as a competent dancer. There's so much fun and camaraderie! I enjoy my experience with Arthur Murray Studio and highly recommend to anyone who wants to give it a try!

Mark Flaten: I am now in my third year of regular lessons at Arthur Murray. It has proven to be a positive life-changing experience. I feel part of the dancing community of students and teachers, I love the instruction I receive, and I have learned great skills in about a dozen different social dances. I attend as many of the free group dances on weeknights and free bi-weekly parties to maximize the value. My wife and I love to dance. This is the best place to learn to dance well in the Twin Cities! I find all the staff at Arthur Murray to be competent and kind and they have helped me to become passionate about dancing!

Lisa Novotny: My husband and I came to Arthur Murray 3 years ago to learn to dance for our daughter's wedding, and we've never left! It is so great to learn together, in a fun and supportive community with teachers who are so skilled and so patient. It is exercise, music, education and social--all wrapped up together! The staff and the other students are tremendous!

Eric Duffert: I had my introductory lesson today. It was awesome! The staff are professional, personable, and super fun. Nikki was wonderful and more than patient for a first-timer like myself. I would definitely recommend!

NLoett: After my Dad and my Sister had spent about a year dancing at Arthur Murray they convinced me to give it a try. After over a year of dancing I can say it's one of the best things I've ever done. The first obvious benefit is that it's good exercise, but that's not all. As someone who is on the autism spectrum and also suffers from fatigue, learning to dance has given me an incredible boost to my confidence in social situations as well as boosting my stamina. It doesn't stop there though, because the community of teachers and students is amazing. Everyone has been very supportive of me as I worked my way through all the dances and I've made some very good friends during my time there. Overall I'd recommend that just about everyone should at least give it a try. We'd love to have new members join our Arthur Murray family.

Dancers Studio: what do users think?

Hailey Meshefski: My husband and I booked dance lessons for our first dance song at our wedding. Jessica was a fantastic teacher and took extra time and thought into creating the perfect choreography.

Prim Ilagan: Dancer Studio is a very welcoming place to learn to dance. Come as a couple or single, partners are rotated so there’s a chance to dance with everyone in the class. On this occasion the lesson was Rumba, the class starts out with the basic steps then more steps are added, usually a turn is added by the end of class you’ve learned a whole pattern. Everyone is kind and are all there to learn together. Jessica is a great instructor, her pink shoes are fabulous.

Rene Klein: Kate and Gordon Bratt have created the most amazing atmosphere! Highly recommend everyone get their dance on!!

Blake Pabst: Dancers showcase tonight. Incredible instructors and students. Fun time, and always a great crowd!

Sandy Pham-Vang: My husband and I are very new to dancing. We wanted to just get comfortable and learn something new. We had few private and group lessons with Jessica and she was very patient and a great teacher! She took the time and explain and showed us many different steps and how they work together. We had some group lessons with Quang also and he was great! Good pace for new beginners! We still have a lot to learn and we know it's going to take some time. Thank you Dancers Studio!

Lauren Zoellner: Dancers Studio is an amazing place! Kate and Gordon are truly invested in helping people learn to dance and they make it super fun! They are both very friendly, bubbly and funny people who are happy to help out or answer questions. I have worked with Kate both at their studio and at the University of Minnesota Ballroom Dance Club where she also teaches. I've never met anyone who didn't absolutely love Kate!!! If you're looking to do ballroom dance, this is a GREAT place to do it!!!

Justin S: This is my favorite studio!They have great group classes, and the most knowledgeable instructors!My private teacher is Jessica, who is incredible! Talk to Gordon if you really want to learn about the studio and dancing.Not sure if dancing is for you? Come to a beginner class! If you want to bring your dancing to the next level, make sure you take a private lesson! Sometimes they'll give free introductory lessons, so don't be shy.You won't regret trying this amazing dance school!

Callie Driscoll: intending to take some lessons and be a more polished social dancer. I took 1.5 lessons and signed up for a membership because my life was changed and I can't ever go back to pre- Dancers Studio days.You won't regret giving this studio a shot- it is the most warm, welcoming, instructive, and safe environment that may not change your life the way it did mine but it most certainly will enhance it.

I Recommend This Studio if you want to social dance or if u want to be a star like me!

Kristin Johnson: My husband and I did a first dance package for our wedding in May and it was such an INCREDIBLE experience! Paris, our instructor, was quirky and fun and did an amazing job choreographing our dance. We spent each lesson laughing and having a blast. Our first dance went perfectly on our wedding day and the absolute eruption of applause was something I'll never forget. I received numerous compliments saying it was the best first dance they'd ever seen. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

William Scripps: Couldn't imagine a better community. Personable, professional, fun people.

Zenon Dance School: what do users think?

Sarah Huntley: I recently signed my son up for youth hip hop and he loved the class. A youth coordinator sent out a welcome message as well which was very kind and unexpected. I have taken Adult belly dance, capoeira, African fusion and hip hop at Zenon in the past. I am happy that my son is looking forward to a dance future with the school.

Sasha Bariffe: I really appreciate this dance school. They're not offering the class that I wanted this season so taking it elsewhere, but really hopeful their offerings this winter are a better match so I can get back here.

Kristen Diehl: As always, the best place for dance lessons! In person classes enforce social distancing and mask wearing at this time. Zoom links are also available.

《Shadow Arts》: I always have fun taking dance here. Great energy.

Marianna Sanz: Ballet classes are wonderful here

M Anderson: The instructors here are excellent. I've moved further away but I still find myself coming back here. My favorite classes are with Roxanne, Lisa, Penny, and Marcia. Everyone here knows what they're doing and they make it fun and supportive, too.If you've never taken a class in dance before, Zenon would be a very good place to start. Even the students are supportive of each other.

Tapestry Folkdance Center: what do users think?

Red Red: dad and Madison Daddy Daughter Dance I

Stacy King: Five stars for zouk! Alli & Raj are the best!!

Suzette Wanninkhof: This was my first experience with ecstatic dance, and it was incredible! A really welcoming person at the door gave me a run down of the norms, and the vibe of dancing was perfect. Great DJ, very consent-focused space, so freeing.

Jacque G: A spacious place for folk dancing, well kept and attractive. There's a large studio for events and smaller practice rooms. Limited parking is available as well as street parking.

Daniel Jandrin: I went for Contra. Everyone is helpful and patient with a newbie. I had unfortunately arrived late, but still had a few people take their time to give me a crash course in how to do particular moves. The community here is top notch.

Tazz Films: I love bringing my family to Dance Church

Lydia McAnerney: A wonderful, inclusive, and genuinely welcoming place to dance. First timers welcome...all dances and steps taught.

Aaron Hodge Silver: Friendly neighborhood dance place - SO MUCH variety! 🕺🏻

Hollie Benton: A happy, friendly place. Great community and always welcoming.

Justin Savageau: Love this place! Been here for dance church/shake your bones. Wonderful welcoming space great tunes and vibes all around. Will continue to come back

House of Dance Twin Cities: what do users think?

Aleeza M: I'm always going to be proud to say I started my dancing journey at HOD. With an environment so focused on learning, it creates an openness for each dancer to truly express themselves their own way. I hope to see HOD expand across minneapolis so more people experience this dancing community. So thankful for HOD and the community it is building!

Alex Boeser: My 5.5 year old daughter just finished Hip Hop for Tots classes here. David was incredible at getting everyone involved, made lessons manageable and interesting for the kids, and had unbelievable patience. Bryn was another instructor who put a lot of effort and patience into the classes, and I will absolutely encourage my daughter to continue classes here if the other instructors are anything like them.

Ashley YangTao: 10/10 recommend! House of Dance is an amazing place for students of all ages to learn, grow, and build community all while having fun. Their staff is the best in Minnesota with amazing knowledge and technique. Highly recommend taking classes here or attending one of their battles!

Juice: This is the best dance studio in the world!

Nina Watts: My daughter had a great time

Jennifer Skavnak: We love love love House of Dance TC! Our son has been taking breakdancing lessons there for two years now. Jake, Leroy, and the rest of the instructors are fantastic. In addition to teaching the kids breakdancing skills, they also really emphasize with the kids how crucial it is to respect each other and learn from each other. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Susan: First day, great first impression!

E J P: but to also jam to their playlists! 😆 The staff can dance their butts off!? The studio is clean and inviting as well. I would definitely recommend! 🎧

Duende Dance Studio: what do users think?

David Dickey: 1st and 3rd Fridays rebels Westcoast swing dance club has their dances at duende dance studio.

Teresa Paetznick: I love Duende!! I have been taking both group and private lessons for 3+ years and have grown both my salsa and bachata follow capabilities substantially from when I first started. Not only are the instructors knowledgeable, they breakdown the movements so that I understand what I’m doing and not just copying the move they demonstrated. I expected to improve my dance capabilities but wasn’t expecting the wonderful community and friendships that I’ve built. I would recommend the Duende Studio for new dancers as well as more advanced dancers. There are classes available for all levels.

Dragana Jevtovic: Great instructors! All of them.A fine and professional setting, friendly atmosphere.A very good way to learn to dance properly while having fun. Confidence building. And, the more you practice the better you get.I enjoyed the social events too!Strongly recommended.I am in Minneapolis only occasionally but I will use every opportunity to go to this studio.Thank you all for your dedication.

Jennifer Day: Excellent classes! I learn a lot in every class and have made some wonderful friends at the studio!

Michael Mesfin: Amazing instruction. Very pleased with my experience at this studio.

Mike Kershaw: Dance lessons have been a real blast, and from my perspective doing them as a couple helps build chemistry and connection with your significant other.

Meghan Morris: I can’t say enough good things about Duende! All of the instructors are patient and helpful and make a dance newbie feel welcome. Shoutout especially to Melissa for wrangling us cats and for her 1:1 instruction!

Sandra George: Super fun instructors and great lessons. I always wanted to try this style of dance but always had an excuse not to try for many years. They welcomed me and I have fallen in love with the dance. So much to learn and grow in dance.If you’ve ever thought about it, try this studio. You will not regret it.

Erin Casper: I highly recommend Duende Dance Studio, they are very professional and have a great studio space. The entire staff and instructors want you to succeed in your dance journey and they will give you the skills you need for that success.

Daleco James: Duende is one of the best studios in MN, the instructions are super knowledgeable about technique. And, really support the goals of everyone no matter the level of dancer. All the staff are friendly, super nice to be around. I really feel welcomed when I’m in there. I recommend everyone to come and take lessons.

Olivia Rose: I love Duende! Byron, Melissa, and all the other instructors I’ve met are fantastic—they are welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and they really care about their students. Melissa also manages the front desk and somehow remembers EVERYONE’S names. All the instructors are friendly when they see you out at socials around the Twin Cities.The classes and curriculum are structured to provide the most effective lessons for the number and variety of students. I always feel like I get a lot out of the group classes, even on occasions where I’m already familiar with some of the moves.Because the studio is so popular, there can be a lot of door-traffic at the beginning of class. Make sure you register beforehand, arrive as early as possible, and follow all the guidelines on the website. Melissa is awesome and so helpful, but there’s only so much she can do when 80 people are walking in within a 10-minute window.I also highly recommend their monthly social! The music is always great & it’s a comfortable space for new and experienced dancers.

Neal Lewandowski: best instructors ever....sam and kathy...oustanding for anyone, beginner or any level. guaranteed fun.
