This is the only studio outside of downtown that I will actively be returning to for more classes. The adult options aren't great, but the up and coming girls I took class with are all very well-trained, very talented dancers. The real benefit to this studio is the owner: it is obvious how much Ashley loves dance, and how passionate she is about doing what is best for her students.

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.

We were in row N, which is definitely somewhere id sit again. I dont think there's a bad spot in the house! The graphics during the show were amazing, as was the sound. The actors did amazing work, they sang beautifully and had so many hilarious parts mixed in. I went with my husband and I, and I would say there was a mix of adult-only couples wanting to experience as well, so definitely still a great experience not as a child! They allow drinks inside the theatre, but no food. Bathrooms are located a floor below. Concessions line moved very quickly, especially with intermission. What a lovely experience!!

Our kids attended Curio for several months, largely because our girls enjoyed dance and had friends…read morewho also attended. 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.

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.

We have been trying to contact the owners about tickets to her dance recital but they have not returned our messages. We have been trying for over a week. We only want the tickets because we were required to buy them with our contract. And we would not miss her dancing for anything. (BTW, they charged us $25.00 per ticket. And we were required to purchase 5). When they finally answered their phone, we were informed that we were not welcome there, as they had read my first review, And we would not be getting our tickets. So I went down there in person. They did give me the tickets, and then proceeded to kick me off the premises. They also stated that they were going to call all other studios in the area and (I'm paraphrasing) basically have my youngest daughter blackballed. They also told me that they looked up my business and were going to write bad reviews in an attempt to put me out of business. I think that right there is proof of my earlier statement of them becoming the bullies. After all of this I think it needs to be said again. Do yourself a favor. There are LOTS & LOTS of dance studios in town. And most of them are higher quality than this one. Do your homework. You definitely want to steer clear of this one. One last thing. I see 2 - 5 star reviews after this from other "supposed" mothers that love this place. I will say that I'm glad they are happy there. We were happy as well. but once things go wrong, those reviews will change. I will update again after the recital.
