November Highlights from The Dancing House 💜

Well, here we are, the first week of November already! And what a beautiful weekend we just had.

I'm coming to you fresh off a week in Costa Rica, where I had the opportunity to unplug, rest, recharge, and enjoy some much-needed rejuvenation. After a very full year, it was exactly what I needed. And I have to give a HUGE shoutout to our incredible TDH team. Because of their dedication, care, and love for our dancers, I was able to step away knowing everything was in wonderful hands. That is a gift I don't take lightly.

But before we get into all the November happenings, I have some BIG news to share with our TDH family!

On Friday, October 23, Greg, my partner, and I officially closed on Hummingbird Estates! After a long journey, this beautiful property is officially ours. And while that is a pretty incredible personal milestone, what I'm most excited about is what it means for the future of The Dancing House.

And because you're part of our TDH community, you're among the very first to hear what's coming next!

This spring, as soon as the ground is ready, we plan to break ground on a BRAND-NEW dance studio right here at Hummingbird Estates! 🩰

We're talking a studio twice the size of our current space, complete with sprung floors, beautiful lighting, and a thoughtfully designed environment where our dancers can continue to learn, grow, and make memories. We'll also continue offering classes inside the main house, keeping that cozy, welcoming feeling that makes The Dancing House so special.

I can hardly believe I'm writing those words.

When I think back over the past 18 years, I think about the more than 3,000 students who have walked through our doors. Some came for one class. Some stayed for a session. Some have danced with us for years and years.

Every single one of you is part of this story.

You helped build The Dancing House into what it is today. And now, because of you, we get to dream a little bigger about what it can become.

You'll probably start noticing little improvements and additions around Hummingbird Estates each time you visit. Some will be small, some will be BIG, but all are part of our vision to create a truly special place for our dancers, families, and community for many years to come.

In the meantime, we have a wonderful season ahead! Our dancers are already preparing for our Christmas Cookies & Concert on December 12 at Meyer Middle School in River Falls, followed by nursing home performances the following week. There is something so special about watching our dancers share what they've learned and bring a little joy to others during the holiday season.

And that's really what this place has always been about.

Yes, we teach dance. Yes, we care deeply about strong technique and excellent instruction. But more than anything, we care about the people who walk through our doors and the community we've built together.

So thank you. Thank you for choosing The Dancing House, for trusting us with your dancers, for cheering us on, and for being part of this journey. Whether you've been here since the beginning or just joined us this fall, you belong to this story.

Keep reading below! We have some fun November happenings, new opportunities at the studio, and a few things happening around Hummingbird Estates, including our friends at Solrik Skin & Scalp Studio, that you'll want to know about.

And please, share this news with your favorite families! We would love for more people to discover the little gem we've been building here in Hudson.

Here's to new beginnings, beautiful traditions, and many more years of making The Dancing House the highlight of your week! 💜

With so much gratitude,

Why We Partner With Local Businesses

There is a student at The Dancing House who absolutely loves ballet.

She shows up eager to learn, works hard in class, and has the kind of determination that teachers notice right away. Like many families, however, life isn't always simple. Circumstances outside of dance sometimes make consistent participation challenging.

Because of our scholarship fund and community partners, we've been able to ensure that this student continues dancing, even during seasons when it may not have been financially possible. We've been able to hold her place in class, provide tuition assistance, and most importantly, keep her connected to a community where she belongs.

And she's not the only one.

Every year, we meet students with incredible potential and a genuine desire to dance, but summer classes, additional training opportunities, or even regular tuition may not fit within the family budget. Through the generosity of our sponsors, we're able to offer scholarships, provide extra classes to dedicated students who are eager to grow, and make sure dance remains accessible to children who need it most.

At The Dancing House, we believe dance is for everybody.

When local businesses partner with us, they're doing more than supporting a dance studio. They're investing in confidence, belonging, discipline, creativity, and opportunities for young people in our community. They're helping students stay connected to something they love.

In return, we work hard to support and promote the businesses that support us. We view our sponsors as true partners and are committed to helping them gain meaningful visibility within our community of families.

If you'd like to help make dance accessible to more students while growing awareness for your business, we'd love to partner with you.
