Quality Instruction in a Wholesome Environment

Welcome to Prairie School of Dance; a faith-based dance studio on the border of Eden Prairie and Chanhassen. We offer Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Sacred, Pop Hop, Pointe, Acro, Creative Movement, Acro, and Musical Theater classes for ages two through adult.

Recreational and Performing Arts Programs

Our mission is to provide quality dance instruction in a wholesome environment while celebrating the beauty of each dancer & most importantly the joy of dance!

Quality instruction begins with our qualified staff.

Many of our dance teachers are college graduates with degrees in dance or current college students in the pursuit of a degree in the arts.  Many of our teachers are also actively performing professional dancers in the Twin Cities.  Their performance experience, continuing educational studies, and higher education degrees inform the classes they teach to instill and inspire excellence out of each student. Classes challenge students to reach their highest potential. Our teachers know dance, love dance, and enjoy sharing that joy with their students.

We offer a wholesome environment where music, costuming and choreography are all family-friendly and age appropriate. Our dress code does not allow for midriffs to be exposed to ensure dancers are not distracted in class. Our friendly staff encourages students to dance with their heart, mind and spirit.  We value the dancer as a whole person and exercise grace in and out of the classroom.

We view dance as a celebration of life.

Through the discipline and technique of dance, students are taught they are all beautifully created from the inside out. We want all students to love dancing and for it to free their spirit to be all they are created to be. Dancers are inspired to see the beauty in life, express the beauty of faith, and to feel the beauty of how they are each uniquely created by God. 

Dance encourages self-confidence and poise that carry young women gracefully through all avenues of life. Whether you are taking dance for fun or want to dance in a college dance program, we invite you to join us in discovering the joy of dance.
