VOTE: Best Dance Studio in the Fridley Area
Where's the best place in Fridley to pick up or practice those moves?
Is there anything more graceful than a body gliding across the dance floor, totally in tune with the music, anticipating every move and transforming the movement of his or her limbs into a work of art?
Well, maybe. But nothing immediately comes to mind.
Unfortunately, most of us aren't both with that kind of grace. But there are lots of experts available to help.
What's your favorite place in Fridley to learn—and do—dance?
The parks in the poll above came from readers' nominations earlier in the summer. Now you decide who will receive Patch's Readers' Choice award.
Voting runs through Aug. 17. You may vote once per poll.

Moore than Dance is awesome! Wonderful atmosphere, focus is on dance, not just cutsy or sexy costumes and dance moves. It also offers theatre, voice, dance for athletes, etc. The staff is fantastic! I am impressed!

I would still love to see a story highlighting all 5 of these wonderful programs. :) We are very blessed to have such strong athletics and arts programs in Fridley. All fill a different area of need in our community and are changing the lives of our youth.
That is news worthy! :)

My daughter is on the Fridley Dance team. This is her second year. Not only does she get to be involved in a extra school activity, where she has made new friends, is involved in school activities, been able to travel, and received a letter in 8th grade, she also gets to have the best of both worlds by having a coaching team that is part of the "just for kixs" dance studio. Everyone involved in the dance team program in the Fridley school district are wonderful!!! Thank you Fridley!

The Next Step Dance Academy is a great place for all dancers at all levels. They have a very talented group of students who are taught by dedicated teachers who show their students their passion for dance.

It is kind of hard to count the Fridley Dance Team in there, as dancers from all 4 of the other places dance on the team. Many continue to dance at a studio while being on the team also! The studios in our area have done a great job of preparing our dancers!!

The 'nMotion Dance Center is awesome! My daughter took hip hop classes and performed in one of their recitals. Very professional, well-trained staff and an awesome community partner. We're hoping they win!

Ok, I figured it out. No voting on mobile devices! Oh well, got my vote in for MOORE THAN DANCE anyway! Did you know that Angela Mannella-Hoffman choreographed the amazing FCT production of Seussical and that many of her students are performing in it? Come see the show this weekend!

N'Motion Dance studio provides excellent customer service and creativity. Recently they helped me choreograph a Flash Mob for my daughter's engagement party. It was a great experience and Sarah did a phenomenal job! I highly recommend them if you are looking for a dance studio with integrity, ingenuity, and a sincere passion for the arts and the community.

Moore Than Dance teaches children with Down's Syndrome and in wheelchairs. Angela has a beautiful heart and just won the Leading with Faith Award from the Catholic Spirit magazine.

I don't think the dance team should count in this poll. The article says best dance STUDIO and the Fridley dance team is a TEAM.

Dancer28, now that we're doing the actual survey, I agree with you. At the time of nominations, it seemed like people were thinking broadly about dance organizations they like and I wanted to be inclusive. But it's kind of one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others now. I don't want to disenfranchise anyone so I'll leave it in but your point is well taken.

My kids danced at The Next Step Dance Academy for almost ten years! The studio is very small and competes against the biggest and best at several competitions yearly. Many studios have hundreds of kids to choose from when they have tryouts. TNSDA had a handful that they turn into amazing dancers that walk away with Platinum trophies year after year. The credit goes to the instructors who share their love of dance and make this studio a family! AWESOME!!!! Give your kids this opportunity to shine!!!
