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.

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.

What we found interesting is that when they moved to their new space this past year, we were finally able to watch each dance session (which wasn't the case at their former studio). Our girls had their occasional "off days" as young children often times do. Yet the overt frustration and impatience on behalf of the staff became more and more apparent with each subsequent week. The tipping point is when one of our girls instructors (who happened to be the owner) literally raised her voice in anger and threatened not just our daughter, but any child that did not meet expectations. Specifically, any child whose shoelaces weren't properly tied (I wish I were exaggerating) were scolded and told laces will be cut off with a scissors if the parents don't do it themselves. Our child never wanted to go back after that day and we immediately withdrew her from the remaining calendar year. What's heartbreaking is, as a parent, you trust particular people with the wellbeing of your child (we did our research, we talked to other parents, etc) and despite a seemingly safe and trusting environment, Curio proved to just the opposite.

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.

We have been happy from day one. Melissa, the owner, has a wonderful disposition and truly cares about her dancers. All of the teachers have been wonderful... And I really feel like this school is challenging my daughter to be a better dancer. Further, they take dance seriously here. Dancers are expected to behave appropriately in class... At our former dance school it was not uncommon to see the girls misbehaving with the teachers not doing anything about it. The teachers here demand respect and the girls follow through, while having fun at the same time. I'm also pleased with how the school does at dance competitions... The teams tend to rate on the higher side consistently... And they work hard to get there. If you're looking for a dance school for your child, I highly recommend the Dance Connection in Rosemount.
