I am very disheartened to have to write a review like this. While having a child enrolled at this…read moredance studio it turned out to be nothing but disarray. There was exceptional staff and then there was the not so exceptional staff. With that being said one of the dance instructors seems to take out their stresses on the parents and dancers. When you pay the studio, the atmosphere should be enjoyable. There are expectations from the dancers in regards to preparation, timeliness, and attitude, but only to find out the staff is opposite of what they expect from the dancer. There is always something that the parents are waiting on...shoes, music, costumes, and instructors at times. This studio can flourish if the studio and staff itself takes in consideration the changes that need to be made. It is also important that the studio realize the time commitment and other schedules these parents are dealing with. Timeliness in everyone's lives matter. Again, I am very sorry I have to write a review like this.

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.

The idea of a Hip Hop for Tots class was really cool, but I would not recommend taking this class…read moreto anyone. We take a lot of toddler classes around the TC. 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.
