    A decent alternative when TCSwing.com classes are full. Unfortunately, Peter's obsessive teaching methods killed the fun for me.

    Peter is very focused on getting people dancing, but once they're off the ground, he cares a lot about form.

    Authentic! HOD offers Hip Hop, Breaking, and Locking. Many studios in MN that offer Hip Hop are…read moreeither taught by their jazz/contemporary teachers or they're fitness-based. 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.

    I've only been here once but my goal is to go again, I'd like to even get private 1 on 1... Essence…read moreof Prodigy is a Hip HOP dance studio in Minneapolis, run by the man the myth the legend PaZzAz - Yup that's his name! I know what you're thinkin', 99% of the world does NOT have tattoos and piercings allover their body, and have the foggiest idea what they're doing when the beat starts playing, PaZzaz is one of those types... but I assure you.. i felt completely welcomed and felt part of an elite club. Now for the dancin'... if you're alot overweight I'd maybe go some place else. This place will rock you to your core. You'll leave wondering if your heart has ever beat that hard before. It's face paced. Extremely ALIVE. ANd INTENSE! A month pass is dirt cheap so you can go a few times a week and should be pretty bad a$$ by the end of month on the dance floor. The moves you learn are very aggressive. Hip hop hippy to the hip hop you don't stop move your feet to the rythemy rop. :-)~ S to the D Chacha is me. HA

    Essence of Prodigy Dance studio is amazing. I've been going there for years and it never gets old…read more I love the down to earth atmosphere, and the choreographer PAzAZz is a true genius at work. The moves he comes up with is impressive and I always leave the studio with a sweat. Also, the music he plays is GREAT! Sometimes, I just go there to hear all the hot new hip hop and dance tunes. Check it out if you have not done so already. You won't be disappointed!

    With the recommendation from one of my friends I heard about the Ragamala Dance School…read more They teach bharatanatyam style of dance. Bharatanatyam is a classical dance form originating in Tamil Nadu a Southern state in India. It is one of the oldest of the classical dance forms in India and is usually accompanied by the classical music. It has its inspirations from the sculptures of the ancient temple of Chidambaram. It's mostly noted for its sculpturesque poses and the fan-like costumes of it's dancers. I'm actually not a Bharatanatyam dance, I've had over 10 years of dancing Kathak which is a more graceful and floaty style of dance from India. I was very fascinated by this dance studio and really wanted to take a class. I registered for the summer session, where I met with a diverse group of students, the age range of the class ranges from small kiddies to adults. In the non-air conditioned rooms, you learn the basic steps of Bharatanatyam, which uses a lot of core muscle balances. At the end of the hour long session, I felt as if I ran a marathon. It really is a great work out, and something unique at the same time. My teacher, Tamara is attentive, and gives you constructive feedback. It's a lot of fun learning from her. If you're interested in learning something new, or a great work out, you should give them a shot. They also preform in collaboration with other dance forms, which makes for a very creative experience.

As choreographers and performers, Ranee and Aparna create dance landscapes that dwell in opposition--secular and spiritual life, inner and outer worlds, human and natural concerns, rhythm and stillness--to find the transcendence that lies in between. As mother and daughter, each brings her generational experience to the work--the rich traditions, deep philosophical roots, and ancestral wisdom of India meeting and merging with the curiosity, openness, and creative freedom fostered in the United States.
