Northfield Dance Academy

Testimonials from our Customers

"Our daughter has been dancing at Northfield Dance Academy for 3 years and has loved every minute of it. Dance has taught her how to be confident in front of an audience, how to work as a member of a team and that hard work and practice really do pay off. We have watched her grow from a recreational dancer to a member of competiton team and have felt that her instruction from the staff here has inspired her to become a better dancer. " - Stu and Jennifer K.

There is nothing like watching your daughter perform during a competition, it warms the heart. Thanks to NDA she always has the confidence to go on stage and perform her best knowing that she will be supported by her instructors and her teammates. My favorite things about NDA are the positive learning environment, professional costumes and routines - always appropriate! My daughter loves the friendships she has developed with both her teammates and her instructors. She wouldn't dance anywhere else! - Tammy H. (mother of Rosa age 16)

NDA is a very professionally run dance academy. The director and teachers understand what the students need to succeed in dance and life outside of dance. This philosophy shows through in how the classes are run and in what my daughter has obviously gained from her experience at NDA. The director and teachers are successful in bringing out the best in the students. They have the ability to find the talent a student might not have been aware he/she has, and nourish that talent giving the student a great deal of confidence. - Jodie J.

The NDA dance studio has been a wonderful all around experience for our family. Just knowing that my daughter who isn't able to participate in competitions, but was welcomed into the general dance categories was great! The experience has been very positive and nurturing. The music the girls danced to has been age appropriate. The costumes the girls have worn have also been age appropriate. The students have been encouraged to do their best and have a good time doing it. Being able to join her group at other town functions during the year has been very fun too. It has been an awesome experience. – Rachel B.

Northfield Dance Academy is much more than simply a place for my child to dance. The teachers have been great role models for my daughter by providing a supportive atmosphere in which to learn while encouraging responsibility, self confidence and discipline. The studio’s community involvement allows her to be involved in the community and offer a form of service as well as entertainment. Best of all, my daughter loves dancing at NDA! - Julie L.

I was unhappy with the dance school my daughter was going to and made the switch to NDA this year. I can't believe the difference! The level of attention each student receives is fabulous. I believe my daughter has more confidence in her dancing ability and has learned more this year than she has in the previous 5 years combined. Thanks for making us a part of your dance family NDA! - Christy L.

When our daughter was 3 years old, she spent as much time dancing as running or walking! We wanted to enroll her in a dance program so she would learn correct technique, as she was enjoying dance movement.

After checking out all of the options for dance instruction in Northfield, we selected Northfield Dance Academy (NDA) because of their high quality of instruction, reasonable class sizes, and attention to correct technique. Our daughter has taken classes in tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, and hip-hop, and loves them all!

Nicole has chosen to be on an NDA competition team and we attend 4 or 5 dance competitions each year. Most are held in the Twin Cities at places like the Orpheum Theater and Riverfront Centre. Competition dance has opened our eyes to dance styles and opportunities outside of Northfield. When we see dance teams from other studios at competitions, it is obvious we are getting great quality instruction and coaching right in our hometown.

We have seen tremendous growth in our daughter’s dance skills, as well as her enthusiasm for dance during the past 5 years. We thank you, NDA, for all you have done to foster this growth!

We love NDA for these reasons!

Dancers learn correct technique and attention to the details
Teachers are experienced performers and continue learning themselves
Classes are "right-sized" to allow for individual attention
Dance curriculum is well-rounded: tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, and hip-hop
Dancers can perform in the community and beyond

We have seen tremendous growth in our daughter's dance skills and enthusiasm during her 5 years at NDA! -Carolyn and Steve K. (Parents of Nicole age 8)

"I like Northfield Dance Academy because they have really nice teachers there and you can make a lot of new friends. We do really cool dance moves and they pick out good songs to dance to." - Lilly (age 7)

My daughter recently completed her first year of pre-competition dancing at Northfield Dance Academy. I've learned that it's about much more than dancing for the teachers and the students. The teachers truly have a passion for what they do. My daughter not only learned dance skills but also about teamwork and what it's like to belong. She gained a new level of confidence in herself and made some wonderful friends. I was impressed with the older students and competition dancers. From the beginning they made the young dancers feel welcome as they cheered them on and continued to be role models throughout the year. I hope my daughter can do the same someday. -Anne P. (mother of Alex age 7)
