Ballet Royale: Summer Classes for Young Dancers

Ballet Royale is offering two different opportunities for young dancers to move and learn throughout the summer!

Each month, we are offering a different Creative Story Ballet Workshop! Give your young dancer the joy of dance and performance! The workshops include a short performance at the end of the workshop, with a different Disney-inspired story each month. Take one, two, or all three workshops! Recommended ages 4–9. Two workshops remaining this summer:

Saturday, July 16: Tangled Inspired Workshop
Saturday, August 20: Frozen II Inspired Workshop

We also have a 6-week session of Summer Evening Classes for all ages, from Mommy & Me and up! These classes run July 11-August 18, 2022. Please see our website for more information and the complete schedule.

Drop-In Classes at Hothouse

Open dance and fitness classes seven days a week! Class offerings include ballet, contemporary, jazz, hip hop, heels, yoga, 305 Fitness, bodyART, and more.

Hothouse is a multi-purpose studio space in Minneapolis featuring drop-in classes for teens and adults. Whether you’re already involved in the local arts scene, an aspiring dance professional looking to bolster your training, or just a human who loves to move, Hothouse offers classes that celebrate the bliss of movement, and embrace you for who you are.

Come as you are, leave as more.

MotionArt Adult Modern Dance Classes

MotionArt’s mission is to share the art of dance and the joy of movement with people of all ages and abilities. We strive to enrich lives by fostering creativity, body awareness and self-expression in a fun, non-competitive, welcoming environment. We offer ongoing dance classes in-studio, on Zoom and outside (weather permitting).

Paying the regular rate helps keep our organization afloat; however, no one will be turned away for inability to pay. There is also an option to pay what you can.

Please go to motionartmn.org to sign up for classes, or contact Pam Gleason for info.
