Opened in January 2014, our new facility offers 25,000 square feet including 8 studios for dance instruction, a full service retail store, a deli, sewing department, and spacious lobby. Our current enrollment is just over 900 students, including approximately 200 students who compete in regional and national dance competitions. We have students from all areas in and around Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota (including Wisconsin).
We currently offer over forty classes for recreational students of all skill levels, ages three to adult, who wish to take class once or twice a week. To allow each student an appropriate amount of one-on-one attention, classes are typically limited to 12-15 dancers. All students will perform in our end-of-year recital in the spring.
We currently have ten competition lines (including two adult lines) for students ages five to adult. The competition lines are for dedicated dancers who wish to take several classes a week and compete in regional and national competitions. Even though these students are busy dancing, many still find time for other sports.
Larkin Dance Studio is a full-service dance studio specializing in:
I owe everything to the Larkins. Their training has made me into the dancer, artist, and person I am today. Having that drive and discipline from dance at a young age has taught me so much about the importance of determination and passion in ALL areas of life. In high school I switched over to the 'theatre world' and now I'm a NYC based performer, and I know for a fact that I wouldn't be where I am without my training from the Larkins. I'm so honored to have trained there!

Honored to be a part of this studio growing up. Watching my kids now growing up there now and having the opportunity to be a staff member and share the love of dance the Larkins instilled in me. Full circle.

I started at Larkin over 25 years ago and now my daughter is a first year dancer with Molly Larkin as her teacher just like me. I have two older girls that tried other studios and the other places just didn't do as well with the kids as Larkin. Love there attention to the kids and technique.
