A big factor in her long history is easily the positive and nurturing approach from the School founders - Denise and Rick Vogt - which extends faithfully to their faculty, and better yet, to the student body. (Aside - their students have begun participating at the Youth America Grand Prix, and we routinely get to hear that some are being awarded scholarships to prestigious schools across the country. Quality wise, they're truly top-notch) If nothing else, my daughter's dance experience gave her a supportive, safe environment to pursue her talent and learn to bring out her best. The camaraderie she built with her fellow dancers remains genuine and is a real gift - as girls get older, they don't always have these positive and encouraging cliques. The experience she had is a real testimony to the Vogt's commitment toward creating a healthy, creative, and excellent dance community.

All of their teachers continually seek out growth by being involved with the actual dance community and industry so they give the best to their students. They not only teach counts, but give tools for dancers to freestyle/improv while bonding with their classmates, using their critical thinking and problem solving skills, and improving their overall confidence. Their students range from age 3-76! It's never too late. Tucked in downtown Hopkins, this studio is well-worth the commute from where I live. Plenty of free parking. Near many businesses so you can go shopping or go to a restaurant while you're waiting for your kid.

Classes at Children's Theater, MacPhail, The Little Gym, Minneapolis and Edina Parks and Rec etc... Bottom line = not everyone has the skills to teach this age group. In our experience, HOD does not have the ability to teach this age group. We attended one class. There is a class for older kids going on at the same time and there is no acoustical separation between studios. They have a flimsy sliding wall separating the two spaces. This is not a good set up for any age group, but particularly 3-year-olds. Also, the teacher told my 3-year-old he was going to write him up. He did this because that was the best he could do with this age group. My son sometimes does not listen and has been in numerous classes as mentioned above - not one of those places has EVER said anything like that before to him. That they would give him a warning and write him up? Needless to say, we never returned. And of course they have a no money back policy (its a fine print thing). Many other places (listed above) have a prorated refund policy which I applaud.
