I get panic attacks. This is a major factor when deciding where I feel safe being vulnerable and learning new things. So it was especially important to consider when deciding what dance studio to go to. Duende has been amazing in so many ways. What initially caught my eye about duende was how easy their website was to navigate and how much information and video visuals they provided. I felt like I was able to get a good idea of what to expect and the vibe before going in. And scheduling online has only gotten easier as they now have an app scheduling option! What helps me most is how well they break down the steps, notice where you’re struggling to give advice and give detailed answers even to my most confused & disorganized questions. If you stick around you’re guaranteed to hear some silly jokes that has the class giggling and some nuggets of inspiration that apply to life as well as dance. I am very grateful for Melissa, Byron & all of the other instructors. They are welcoming and go above and beyond. You can tell their heart is in not only dance but helping students learn and grow. So, thanks Duende :
I love Duende! Byron, Melissa, and all the other instructors I’ve met are fantastic—they are welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and they really care about their students. Melissa also manages the front desk and somehow remembers EVERYONE’S names. All the instructors are friendly when they see you out at socials around the Twin Cities. The classes and curriculum are structured to provide the most effective lessons for the number and variety of students. I always feel like I get a lot out of the group classes, even on occasions where I’m already familiar with some of the moves. Because the studio is so popular, there can be a lot of door-traffic at the beginning of class. Make sure you register beforehand, arrive as early as possible, and follow all the guidelines on the website. Melissa is awesome and so helpful, but there’s only so much she can do when 80 people are walking in within a 10-minute window. I also highly recommend their monthly social! The music is always great & it’s a comfortable space for new and experienced dancers.
Duende is one of the best studios in MN, the instructions are super knowledgeable about technique. And, really support the goals of everyone no matter the level of dancer. All the staff are friendly, super nice to be around. I really feel welcomed when I’m in there. I recommend everyone to come and take lessons.
Top-notch quality. Fun group classes, and excellent instructors across the board for private lessons of all sorts. Byron is an artist, and tons of fun to work with. Practical, patient, professional. Look no further.
The front desk attendant was so rude that I decided to leave. It was my first time visiting this studio and I was excited to take a class. It was hard to find the entrance hidden around back so when I finally found the door I was a couple min late. I was scolded like a child for not creating an account online before coming in. When I mentioned that that requirement was not totally obvious on thier website she got as uppity and corrective as a schoolteacher. I decided to take my business elsewhere.
I highly recommend Duende Dance Studio, they are very professional and have a great studio space. The entire staff and instructors want you to succeed in your dance journey and they will give you the skills you need for that success.
I have taken Salsa & Bachata classes at Duende. I started with no dancing experience, and was quite apprehensive about learning. My teachers Mike, Kasidy, Byron, and Eda have all been wonderful teachers. They were able to teach the basics so that I could learn quickly and without feeling self-conscious. Through their instruction I have fallen in love with dancing. I could not recommend this place highly enough! After taking classes and going to socials at Duende for a couple of years, I rented the space for my wedding reception. We had 80 people, and wanted to have a good space for dancing. Melissa at Duende was amazing to work with. She answered all of my questions and made everything as easy as possible for me through the planning process. The space was perfect, and helped to make my wedding day truly special. Duende will always be an important place to me and I look forward to many more years of dancing there!
Prepare yourself for an unapologetically long rave review. I love Duende, and it's almost hard to count the ways they are so numerous. But I'll try. First of all... the level of instruction here is insane. If you want to learn, to really learn how to dance, then Duende is where it's at. The instructors will literally fill your dancing toolbox with everything you need to soar at social dancing. They don't just teach a combo or some steps, they'll explain the how and the why so you can figure it all out yourself which is invaluable, in my opinion. And their breadth of dance knowledge is mad deep... five years into my dance journey, and I still learn something new at every single class. My salsa and bachata have both improved exponentially since I started lessons. Which brings me to my next point... the instruction is both stellar AND practical. There's a huge focus on equipping students to be able to go out and slay on the dance floor. Performance tricks and lifts and whatnot are cool... but they're not meant for social dancing. Duende teaches for function and fun. What you learn will still be beautiful and playful... but it'll also be something you can *actually* use when you're out dancing. The instructors themselves are absolutely top-notch. Byron is a master of his craft, and can pinpoint, with alarming precision, exactly what you need to adjust to nail that move, footwork, spin, or combo that you've been working on. He is a deep well of knowledge, and is, without question, one of the best dance instructors I've ever worked with. Eda... literally cannot sing her praises loudly enough. She is such an asset to her students and the community at large. With an artist's eye, she helps not only with the technical aspects of the dance, but shows you how to make it beautiful. I've soaked up so much from her, from styling, to presence, to falling even more deeply in love with salsa/bachata—she's incredible. And one of the best things about Eda is how deeply she cares for her students, and how invested she is in their progress. I could go on and on about the other instructors, but suffice it to say... Byron & Eda set the bar high, and have curated a group of instructors who live up to that level of excellence. Lastly... the people you'll meet, the friends you make, the things you'll uncover about yourself... it's all worth more than its weight in gold. Learning to dance can just be picking up some steps if that's all you let it be, but it can also be transformational dance is so very often a startling analogy to life. At Duende, I've discovered a wealth of information about dance, yes, but also about myself. No question, this is one of my favorite places in the Twin Cities. I'm so lucky to have discovered it, and feel that the dance community is #blessed to have such powerhouse instructors and instruction available locally. There are layers to this dance game, and the people at Duende... they'll help you uncover them, step by delicious step.
best instructors ever....sam and kathy...oustanding for anyone, beginner or any level. guaranteed fun.
