Reviews of Rhythm and Shoes Dance Studio (Dance School)

Jen Westpfahl

This is a non-competitive studio with a spring recital and a performance team. We love the family-friendly atmosphere. Teachers understand that dance isn't the only thing in their students lives and are accommodating. Music and costumes at the recital are age-appropriate. They have great classes from pre-K through adult.

Rythem and Shoes is one of the best Dance Studios I've ever been to. It is a little pricy but I've been there since I was 2 and I absolutely love it. Teachers are nice and the dances are phenomenal.

We love Rhythm & Shoes. My daughter joined R&S about a year ago after leaving an extremely competitive studio. She loves the community here. Everyone is welcome, it's so encouraging and they are always doing fun things! Jodi and team are amazing. We are very grateful for this experience for our middle-schooler.

Our family loves Rhythm and Shoes! Our family has been with the studio for over 8 years and we have grown to love the owner and teachers like family! We love the costume choices and optional make up as well as the all around studio fun and community of friends we have made through the years! The performance company that does parades, fun events-ball games and shows is wonderful too! Our daughter has grown through that program for 4 years and all the dance class options to truly enjoy her passion for dance (our son and other daughter dance there too!) There will never be a perfect studio as things can go wrong which is out of their control but this truly is a great studio that cares about their students and families!

Our daughter loves her time at R&S. The staff focuses on building empowered dancers who see their peers as family in and out of the studio. Our 12 year old has been a part of R&S for 3 years and every year begs to be in more classes and be as involved as possible. As a parent I LOVE R&S selection of music and costumes. I hate seeing other studios put their young dancers in barely there costumes, 3" of makeup, performing non-age appropriate moves. R&S is doing in right and keeps on improving year after year. Jodi is truly embracing this community, bringing people together and giving back in so many ways.

Original choreography, age-appropriate costumes, clean music, accepting and open-minded staff, talented and fun teachers. Great place.

Rhythm and Shoes has had a HUGE impact on my daughter's life! We have been an R&S family for 16 years. My daughter is now pursuing a BFA in Dance at a top rated program in the US. This stemmed from her first experiences at this studio. She has always felt supported, encouraged, and loved! Not only is it a great environment for children to learn, it is also fantastic for adults. I, timidly, decided to try dance a few years back and absolutely love it! R & S accepts and encourages everyone! Over the years I have learned that it is not just about dance...it is all about creating positive feelings and supporting one another!

Our family has been apart of Rhythm and Shoes since the doors opened, it is a second home for our girls. As parents we appreciate the tasteful costume choices, amazing music and positive instructors who truly care about their students success. We are thrilled to be apart of a top notch studio!

Absolutely fantastic dance studio! Warm and welcoming environment, talented instructors, and a “come as you are” feel, make this the perfect place for our daughter and our family. We love the non-competitive structure and emphasis on fun! ❤️

Rhythm and Shoes isn't just a dance studio. It is a community that supports and encourages the students who participate in the classes. From the moment you walk in the door, you can feel the positive, uplifting energy shown from the staff that transcends to the students. Additionally, as a parent, I appreciate the age appropriate costumes and music choices.

I knew absolutely nothing about dance and all of a sudden I have a 3 year old begging me to take dance lessons. After talking with a few parents I decided to check out out Rhythm & Shoes. I looked at their website and saw they were having an upcoming open house so with my daughter in tow we went and checked it out. The teachers were there to answer all of my questions and so I decided to sign her up for the preschool class. I thought for sure my little introvert would become a puddle at the dance recital. Fast forward 8 years! My daughter absolutely loves dancing at Rhythm & Shoes! This studio has totally given her confidence that I never could. She has made wonderful friends. She just loves all of her teachers. She really loves the summer day camps there as well. I can see her dancing here for years to come.

My daughters experience with R&S is excellent over these past seven years. I love that they are non-competing dance studio that prides itself on dancers of all ages and abilities. It is a fun, learning environment that promotes equality, respect and self esteem. Costumes and attire are age appropriate with modesty in mind. I even danced for a year with no previous experience.

My daughter has been attending Rhythm and Shoes since day one and has had terrific teachers. Jodi teaches from her heart and all the students love the results.

We’ve been a family of Rhythm and Shoes for 5 years. Both of my girls were shy and anxious to begin with, but being a part of rhythm and shoes has helped their confidence grow tremendously! They love the teachers just as much as their fellow dancers. The past year has been hard during the pandemic. The only stability my kids had was dance. The owner, Jodi has worked effortlessly to make the studio a safe and welcoming place to the kids as well as keep it as normal as possible. My oldest is on the dance team. She loves being a part of the performance company. Our family loves going to watch her at Saints games, Timberwolves games, parades and more! She has built so many relationships with these girls and learned so many new skills. I’m glad she has a strong support system with them. I love watching my girls grow in their dancing and stage presence every season. We are so grateful for Rhythm and Shoes, Miss Jodi and all The staff!
