 Welcome to Dance Impressions
Saint Michael, Minnesota
Dance Impressions is a premier and unique dance organization that is specifically designed to educate the dance performer in all avenues. We know that in today's world the most successful dancers have a triple threat of solid technical training in dance, acting, and music. We believe that for the dancer the strongest foundation begins with proper ballet technique.  Our specialized program is based on the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus with Vaganova and American influences.  We provide enhanced training in Pointe, jazz, lyrical, tap, contemporary, modern, ballet fusion and musical theater.

We add to that incredible dance training with creative acting which includes such elements as character development, musical theater, vocal training, script reading, monologue reading, improvisation, camera work, comedy work, reducing stage fright and so much more. Finally, dancers must live a healthy lifestyle, so our expanded program also offers education in injury prevention, Pilates/stretch, Yoga, stage makeup, costume styling, and nutrition. 

Dance Impressions offers a variety of classes from the beginner to the professional performer with age ranges from two years old to adult. We have two educational tracks:

We also have number of open technique classes for all to attend. Our dance and fitness teachers are certified and/or in continuing education certification programs. Many of our staff have long resumes, experience and degrees in music, acting, psychology, art etc.

Finally, in order to become a whole dancer, one must learn many life lessons such as respect, hard work, and honesty.  These are a few of the principles that guide our program. Please read further or click on one of our tabs above to learn more about our amazing studio.  Call for an appointment, or stop by during our business hours. 

We know that once you experience the Dance Impressions difference, nothing will compare.

Best wishes,

Performance Company Explores Self Choreography! Sign Up For Dance Today

Our Las Vegas Performance Company is learning self-choreography techniques.  The class is divided into groups and they must use techniques they have learned and their own creativity to choreograph movements to specific themes. This technique is used in our acting and dance classes to teach creativity, communication, self-sufficiency and art form application.  There is still time to join any of our performance or recreational teams.  Call us at 763-488-1611 or click here to email us.

 

New Acting Classes Being Added

We are adding new acting classes to meet the demand.  We are opening up classes earlier in the day and later in the afternoon/early evening. We will have new options for young children in the late morning or earlier afternoon.  We are also adding options for kids who need more time after school to get to class, so we'll be starting some classes later in the afternoon or earlier evening. We may even add a second Saturday class. Please inquire at the front desk for more information. You can also call us at (763) 488-1611 or click here to email us.
