"Our daughter was strongly encouraged to give Dance Tech a try from a family friend. Having been at two previous large studios we thought we knew what to expect. Much to our surprise, we were dazzled with the "one big HAPPY family" feeling we received almost immediately. You will NOT find a more loving or caring dance studio. While change is always hard and sometimes unwelcomed this one proved to be a strong, positive and rewarding one. Madisons technique and passion for dancing has become a way of life for her over the last twelve months. In fact, she has a new weekly chore...polishing all the feet marks off of the wood floor at home from the spins she constantly tries to perfect. While Dance Tech may not be the biggest...but we feel it is the BEST!"

I met a lot of new friends and I have learned a lot from the teachers, the teachers are great and they are so talented and nice to everyone! Robin the owner is so caring, she teaches me a lot and we work hard but have fun! :) I am soooo happy my mom brought me to Dance Tech! I love going to dance and I know each day will be fun and its like having a family away from home .

My daughter has been at Dance Tech since she was 4 years old. She is now a Senior and in her last year. Not only is she a beautiful dancer, but she is a strong confident person which I know comes from the love and guidance that Dance Tech and her teachers have provided through the 14 years she has danced. This is not just a studio, but a family!

“There are so many reasons why I choose Dance Tech Studio for my daughter. When I first met Robin, she made my family and I feel comfortable and welcomed completely into her studio. She knows everyone by name and takes the time to get to know us personally; Dance Tech is truly an extended family for us. Robin and her staff have been such great role models for my daughter Emilee. I’ve enjoyed watching her grow physically and her enthusiasm and passion for dance over the years; we love Robin, the Staff and everything about the studio.”

"Last year we switched studios, and as "new comers" to DT, the staff made us feel welcome. Almost immediately, I could see positive changes in my daughters. They began practicing their new skills at home and were more enthused about dance. Their progress has been amazing! My daughters have grown because the instructors are truly dedicated to each and every student. The studio also instills good values such as team work, sportsmanship and fun. The owner provides out reach opportunities where dancers can give back to their communities through local charity fund raisers and events; another way to set a good example for our sons/daughters! DT is reasonably priced and is a wonderful investment in the growth of your child.”

“This is our second year at Dance Tech and we love it. We have made many new friends. The teachers are very nice and everyone is very friendly. The teachers are the best and are so talented. You should come to Dance Tech so you can have fun, meet new friends and become a better dancer. They do amazing things at Dance Tech. We love Dance Tech!”
~Emily and Alison Cunningham
“Four years ago, we decided to switch studios. Since the move, I have seen a BIG improvement in our daughter's dance technique and a big growth in her confidence and self esteem. All of the instructors have contributed to her growth and I am grateful for that. They are wonderful with the students and they give them so much support which is an important factor when considering a studio. We are very pleased about the "move" we made and would not consider changing studios again. We hope that you will join!!!!”

“I enrolled at Dance Tech at the age of four, just to have something to do. Now at the age of 17, dance has quickly grown into my passion. I know for a fact dance wouldn’t be a large part of my life, if not for the supportive environment of dance tech. It’s loving staff along with its amazing students make up my second family. I cant wait until you too, join the Dance Tech family.”
~Megan Walsh
“We have two daughters on dance teams at Dance Tech and they love it. The lessons are challenging, the instructors are caring and engaging, and there's a real sense of family between the instructors and students. We get such a kick out of seeing how much our daughters improve from year to year - it's definitely rewarding! One of the things I am most impressed with is the creativity and uniqueness of the choreography... At competitions, the choreography is always a step above other dance studios - it makes us proud to be part of the Dance Tech family!”

“We switched to Dance Tech last year after going to a local studio for 8 years. The improvement in my daughter over the last year is amazing! She has done a complete 180 degree change in her technique, performance, and ability. The staff and the dancers were so welcoming when we switched, she seemed to "blend in" right away. Dance Tech has truly enhanced her love of dance!”

"Since the time my daughter was old enough to walk, she has enjoyed entertaining our family with her personally choreographed dance solos. For years, we kept it at that – mini dance recitals in our family room. Then, we signed her up for a one-day dance camp at the local high school. At the end of the camp, the girls performed a short dance, then several groups from local dance studios performed as well. Although all of the dancers were great, one studio really stood out – Dance Tech! I was amazed at the talent and choreography. Each dance was unique, entertaining, technically precise and very memorable. So much so that after returning home, my then 4 year-old daughter began adding some of Dance Tech’s choreography to her own dances! Realizing the impact this studio had had on her, we quickly enrolled her in a class at Dance Tech. What we expected from this was a fun class for our daughter with the opportunity to perform in an end of the year recital. What we got was so much more!
From the moment we walked in to Dance Tech Studios, we saw what made this studio so uniquely special. Not only were the dancers and instructors working hard, they were having fun doing it. Along with creating beautiful dances, they were creating beautiful friendships. We quickly realized that Dance Tech was a very special place and we knew we were fortunate to be part of it.
My daughter is now 11 years old and loves Dance Tech more than ever! Dance Tech has given her the opportunity to not only perform in an end of the year recital, but also at several competitions throughout the year. Beyond the dance classes, she has participated in acting classes and conditioning classes at Dance Tech, all which she has loved! She has learned that becoming a good dancer is not just about working hard to build your skill level, learning proper technique and remembering choreography, but about loving what you do and cherishing the relationships you build along the way."
Because of all of this and so much more, Dance Tech has truly been a gift to our daughter and our family!

"I enrolled my daughter in Dance Tech Studios of Forest Lake at the age of four. Over the past eight years, I have noticed a higher level of maturity, poise, socialization skills and confidence as compared to peers the same age or even a few years older that I don't think I would have seen had she not been in dance. When I ask her what dance means to her, she replies "It's my passion". I also believe her success in academics, honors, orchestra, voice lessons and other activities have a direct relationship to her confidence gained in performing on stage for the past 10 years for Dance Tech. We both enjoy the knowledge and kindness of the teachers, and when asked are proud to announce that she dances at Dance Tech Studios in Forest Lake. It's a great place to learn, grow, mature and be the you that you want to be!"
