The Dance Connection Nurturing teachers, empowering kids! NW Iowa & SW Minnesota’s #1 dance studio! Welcome to Dawn's Dance Connection!!!

We are northwest Iowa's #1 dance studio and have been for the past 30 years. We are located just off of Highway 9 behind KUOO in Spirit Lake. We are now also located in downtown Jackson, Minnesota. We not only provide top notch dance instruction, but we also supply dance shoes and attire. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE
OF A DANCE EDUCATION!!!! The study of dance or tumbling provides opportuni

ties to develop a positive self-concept, be motivated to be physically fit, appreciate music, develop creativity and leadership skills, make new friends, manage stress, and increase strength, flexibility, coordination, endurance, and agility. Our goals are:

•Perform with body, mind, and soul.
•Increase coordination, poise, and grace to ultimately increase self-confidence.
•Develop technique.
•Appreciate the art of dance.
•And most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!

Keep your dancer moving this summer! ☀️🩰

Our Drop-In Dance Classes are a flexible way to continue dancing all summer long. Come to the classes that fit your schedule and don't worry if you miss a few along the way!

With smaller class sizes, dancers will receive lots of individual attention, corrections, and feedback while continuing to build their technique.

*All pointe students are encouraged to attend at least 4 classes throughout the summer.*

Current dance families can purchase a class pack and register through their Parent Portal. Grab a friend and join us for some summer fun!
