The difference is night and day. Culture - The instructors at Lundstrum do a great job of instilling a culture of encouragement rather than competitiveness that filters down to the students. The older kids encourage and help the younger kids and everyone cheers for each other. Expertise - Every instructor is a trained professional in their field. Most of the younger instructors perform all around the Twin Cities and several instructors had careers on Broadway before working at Lundstrum. They challenge their students to really work on precision and technique and it really shows. My daughter's tap skills, for example, advanced more in her first year at Lundstrum than in four years at her previous studio. Scheduling - Group classes are scheduled so that age groups can have classes back-to-back. No driving to the dance studio five nights a week if your kid is taking six classes. This INCREDIBLY nice for busy families. Range of classes - If your kid loves the stage, it's not enough to just learn to dance, they have to do it all--singing, dancing, and acting. The main programs at Lundstrum do a great job of melding the three into a Broadway curriculum with expert instructors in each classroom. Clear costs - Unlike most dance studios, Lundstrum won't suprise you with a bunch of hidden costs. Many studios charge extra for approved rehearsal clothing, recital costumes, etc. In our daughter's last year at a different studio, we spent over $400 on costumes that she used once and then never wore again! All of that is included at Lundstrum.

They are in their early 70's and will take your money and run as he did mine. My husband purchased a wedding dance package from them for $300.00 and that was to get us 3- 2hr private dance lesson. We went to our first lesson at a leased space, and never heard from him again. I tried calling for 2 months and he ignored all of my calls, so I finally called the lady that he leased his space from, she told me that he had also stiffed her from the money he had owed her. So please be careful with this guy!

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.

My daughter came home every week saying Katie made her feel like garbage and she was scared to go to class. Not only is she mean to the girls, but she treated many of the parents horribly as well. She is rude and unprofessional. If you're lucky enough to be one of her "favorites" you might have an enjoyable experience there. But if you're not, you will be subjected to her constant verbal abuse and shaming. It's easy to see why the studio lost over 15 of it's competitive dancers this summer. #karma Also, her recreational dance classes are not taught by professional instructors. They are taught by her 14 year old students who have no experience teaching and are unable to control a large classroom of young dancers. There are many great dance studios in the Twin Cities that treat their dancers with kindness and respect, but sadly, this is not one of them.
