I would recommend this studio based on interaction with the owner and the fair pricing of classes. The only thing I would like to see are longer classes or additional classes for competition team members. Practicing only one time a week makes it difficult to get the teams completely cohesive.

Avoid this studio at all cost. We paid a lot of money to be talked down to, disrespected,…read morepatronized, and treated as if we had little value at all. My daughter worked very hard, was dedicated and put in a lot of work to do well and succeed. The studio owner does not hold each dancer to the same level of expectation and standard, some have higher expectations based on how well she likes you. My daughter was told she would not be welcome back after studio owner was confronted with concerns and issues by myself, as I did not feel that each dancer was treated with the same respect and expectation. There are many other studios in the area, this is not one I would recommend and I know several other parents who feel the same way.

Everyone trying to be one up to the person next to them. Yes, this place has lot's of very competitive mothers. Sadly there are not too many places to hide from them. And I have to stay here since my daughter will need to change from ballet shoes to tap shoes in the middle of the training. Ms. Holly is excellent with the kids. I think it is because of the way she talks. She is full of energy. You can hear her through the closed to door going "One and two and ......" . My daughter loves it, so she is here with me. Hopefully when I get old I can use this to guilt trip her and have her sneak booze for me at the retirement home :)

Hidden Falls Park

Trying to be more intentional about exploring parks around Minneapolis this year, and Hidden Falls…read moreseemed like the perfect place to start. We usually default to Minnehaha Falls across the river, but I'd never actually explored this side--which looks to be really sprawling with new townhomes and modular single family homes. We parked near the dam and walked along the trail to reach the stairs leading down to Hidden Falls. Heads up: the walk down is a little precarious since there's no railing for most of the stairs, but it's not very steep and the trek itself is pretty short. The falls themselves were a bit disappointing at the moment--more of a trickle than a waterfall--but it is early in the season. That said, the forested park area it winds through was really nice, and made the visit worth it regardless. I can already tell this place is probably stunning in the summer when everything is green and flowing! Even with the lower water level, it was a great way to explore somewhere new and great to see there were so many people already exploring the park with it being chilly still!

Beautiful park near the city. Grabbed some take out and found an empty picnic table in the middle…read moreof the day - lots of parking! Watched a few boats launch, saw some geese, enjoyed watching people along the shore. Picnic tables near the water at the North Entrance. Check it out!

However, I have yet to go down there because it's always being used.

For our tweens, they loved the deeper part of the pool with the super fast slides. And of course we all love the lazy river. The season passes also include unlimited mini golf on their super cute 9 hole course that includes a fabulous waterfall. I even love that they have mandatory safety breaks at the top of each hour to ensure the lifeguards get a break and gives our kids a chance to reapply sunscreen.
