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.

I'll update my reviews since some of their policies have changed…read more They allow make up lessons now if your kid is sick! As a parent, this really helped relieve some of the stinging of the sticker shock. They started taking teacher consistency, more seriously, and I think it is made a huge difference. No more cycling of teachers as much. It's a warm pool, warm locker room, and Good curriculum where your kid will make progress. There's lots of repeating of levels, but that's true at any swim school. To avoid that, you just need your kid to have tons of pool time outside of lessons. They have a few family open swim times a month but not a lot, you almost need a gym membership with pool access such as at the YMCA in addition to foss lessons if you want to avoid repeating lots of levels. It's still crazy expensive, but you get what you pay for. I have yet to find another swim place that can produce the results that Foss can.

We faced the daunting task of teaching our son to swim. He likes to splash around in the pool with…read moreus holding him, but swimming is something different. We came to Foss as it was highly recommended. First off, it is hard to even get in here. They announce their courses (a slate of weekly sessions stretching over a couple of months) and they almost immediately fill up. It's like buying Superbowl tickets. I think the reason is that not many places have a curriculum of very organized, structured, swim teaching programs like Foss. The prices are reasonable, too. Our little guy was a bit scared the first class (groups of 4-5 kids plus 1 parent per kid), but we kept going and the teacher kept working with him and now he loves swim class and even dances around in the lobby when we get there. The facility is clean, well maintained, etc. and the people are super friendly. I highly recommend Foss for teaching your kids to swim.

I've heard of painting pottery places that turn out more professional - my canvas isn't anything I'll be putting on display. but what a fun way to spend a friday night with a few friends! I'm not sure I'd do the same for $25, but the deal was much worth it!

Foss has been patient to make sure my son is placed in the right group based on his skill level and his abilities. They've been really accommodating to what our family needs and not just placing us anywhere Willy nilly. Highly recommend foss if you're looking for a swim school!

I was in the market to get my child enrolled in swim lessons when this ad pulled up on social…read moremedia. We signed our child up and have been pretty happy with the lessons overall. They mentioned that they will do a preview lesson for children (which is free) and you can decide to enroll. What is doesn't say is that children under a certain age are not eligible for the preview lesson. I had called to ask a couple of questions about what to bring and that's when they told me, so I'm glad I didn't find out when I showed up. However, you can still do a tour and look around, so that might be worthwhile if you're considering it. The first day of the lesson was pretty chaotic. They have multiple swim areas and one big family changing room with stalls, so it was a lot of people with stuff everywhere. We were not prepared and had too much stuff with us, so the first lesson was a bit of a challenge (plus it was quite cold out, so we had coats). It was packed in there with few places to sit, so that was part of the challenge. As the weeks have gone on it's been less crowded and we have figured out a good system for changing and getting ready by bringing fewer things, so that has helped. The instructor Anna is really wonderful. We're in a baby/toddler group and she does a fantastic job. She explains everything and the parents are in there with the littles, although it is a little hard to hear at times because of the many groups at once. She is very patient when the babies aren't feeling it and has provided some good feedback to us. The lessons are 30 minutes long and it's a little pricey at more than $25 a lesson. You have to enroll in and pay for a whole semester at a time, which are 9-ish to 14-ish weeks. The groups are small (I think our group is 5 kids) and there seems to be some personal attention during the lesson, so that is a definite benefit. It's lots of cute songs and toys at that age to make it fun and engaging. Overall, my child enjoys his lessons and we are pleased with the quality of the instruction. I would definitely sign him up for another lesson if he is interested. Definitely recommend doing a tour or a preview lesson before signing up just so you know what you're in for.

I started at the Rock 201 level, (level 3 out of 6) and ended in Houseband, a performance based group who played at Summerfest in Milwaukee, the Mall of America, and the Xcel Energy Center at a Wild game. I've loved all of my instructors and their various teaching styles. They offer every aspect of a rock band, including all the instruments mentioned above. Kids are also able to pick from a variety of artists and genres to cover as a band, and make new friends and learn the importance of teamwork. I had the privilege of learning here, and went from fumbling through vocals on "Eye of the Tiger", to absolutely mastering every instrument on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and teaching a group of younger students how to play it as a band. I've not only improved musically, but also as a person. I've learned the importance of teamwork, respect, hard work, and consistency. I've become a better public speaker and more of an extrovert, but also gained more self awareness, and I firmly believe that my emotional development is easily owed to this program. If your child (or you!) stick with this program, it will definitely be worth your while! Even though the school is aimed at students, adults are also able to receive lessons and there is an adult band! Any level of music education and experience is welcome here, and will be greeted with open arms.
