It's been two years since my last review of this place so I figured I'd give it an update. We are…read morestill attending this dance company and are still very happy. If you want a place to have your child learn dance this is the one I highly recommend. Everyone here makes you feel like you are part of a large dance family. All the instructors are very nice and caring. There is plenty of different opportunities for anyone to dance at any age. Come give it a try and you will not be disappointed

Zenon is a dancers hidden gem located in Minneapolis. I discovered it last winter and have only…read morebeen there a couple times. I now live in the cities so I plan on becoming a regular. The staff and dancers welcome dancers from all levels and backgrounds. The open houses are worth checking out, so you can see what types of classes you are interested in taking. For now my favorite classes are the Hip Hop classes. I have a feeling as I explore Zenon more that will change. The people take dance seriously, but are also there just to dance and have a good time. So girls and guys, if you are new or already know the cities but you are looking for a place to dance - Check out Zenon.

What a fun dance studio! A friend has been dancing here for years in the adult female team. They…read morehave been to (and won) several competitions in the past all over the midwest. They also offer an adult program for guys - the dancing dads! So if you've got your daughter or son in dance you can also dance and do a recital with them. That's pretty cool. The instruction is top notch. The dancing dads - a bunch of guys with no experience in dance were able to even make it on tv last year on So you think you can dance. The instruction is that good! I've joined the dancing dads this year, and it's been a blast. Really cool guys to work out with - even if the rugrats and kids are always showing us up. It's a great workout and a fun time.

My son is in dance class here. We will not be returning next year, and I would advise people to…read morelook for a better studio. The place is always dirty. The chairs for parents to sit in are disgusting, the floor always has food on it, the tables in the cafeteria are always dirty. To make it worse, they completely ripped us off on his "costumes." He got 2 shirts and a pair of black pants. It costs us $130! The girls in his class got 2 beautiful dresses, and all of the accessories, for the same price. He's completely heartbroken that his "costumes" look like clothes that he already has in his closet, and that he didn't get any of the extras that the girls got. When I tried to talk to someone in the office, I felt like my question was completely ignored.

Straightline is fantastic! The live at-home workouts are a godsend. The instructors are…read moreknowledgeable and enthusiastic. During class, they also dole out individual attention and take the time to be encouraging with a gentle nudge toward better form or a compliment. I enjoy the mix of barre, yoga and HIIT classes. Every instructor varies her class each time, so it's never the same workout twice. In a strange surreal year, Straightline has been amazing and a consistent source of inspiration.

I cannot get ENOUGH of this dance studio. Women owned, local, wide variety, welcoming, inclusive,…read moreexciting. I found them because I asked a friend who loves dance where the best place was for beginner level hip hop and then grabbed an unlimited membership during a deal. Best choice I've made for my health in 2019. Straightline is a great place to meet new friends, and I do exactly that almost every single time I attend a class. Every class I take is challenging but modifiable. The variety is great. Even though I came for hip hop, I love 305 Fitness (think cardio clubbing), yoga, piloxing (pilates and boxing!!!!!), pilates and barre, YOU NAME IT. The app to sign up the classes is super easy to navigate and gives you an option to add the appointment to your calendar when you sign up. Love that. The studio is also very active on social media and responds to any questions in a timely manner. I am here at least 3 times a week and tell anyone I can how great it is. Join their email list to be in the know for their events and special offerings - worth it even without a 'deal!' This community gives me something to look forward to throughout the day when normally in the winter I'd stay home, holed up in the dark. I'm not saying Straightline is curing my seasonal depression (hello Minnesota winter) but it certainly helps!! The two things that I'd change: the bathrooms are downstairs and there's nowhere to shower after a sweaty class. Literally the only two downfalls of this studio. If you're still reading this review, CHECK THEM OUT! I can't recommend Straightline Dance Fitness enough.

We went to Costa Rica Ballroom for lessons on our wedding first dance. We worked with Eli, and…read morecould not have asked for a better experience! My (now) wife has a physical disability, and she was nervous about what dance lessons would look like - but the lessons ended up being her favorite part of wedding planning. Eli brought comfort and confidence to both of us, as well as humor and joy! We both truly enjoyed the experience, even though it was a bit out of our comfort zone. Our first dance went off seamlessly - we managed to remember all the steps and it was a hit! For anyone with physical limitations - please be aware that accessing the studio does involve a flight of stairs (there is a railing!). We have no doubt Eli would be willing to explore other options as necessary. Regardless, do not let any physical limitations deter you from taking lessons here!

Lovely ambiance, wonderful music, great dancing on a nice wood dance floor! I'd go back there…read moreagain. Eli, owner, is a beautiful dancer and teacher.

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

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!
