Everyone trying to be one up to the person next to them. Yes, this place has lot's of very competitive mothers. Sadly there are not too many places to hide from them. And I have to stay here since my daughter will need to change from ballet shoes to tap shoes in the middle of the training. Ms. Holly is excellent with the kids. I think it is because of the way she talks. She is full of energy. You can hear her through the closed to door going "One and two and ......" . My daughter loves it, so she is here with me. Hopefully when I get old I can use this to guilt trip her and have her sneak booze for me at the retirement home :)

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.

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.
