Northern Lights Dance Academy

Northern Lights Dance Academy NLDA has two locations: Frazee and Park Rapids. We believe that LIFE IS BETTER ON THE DANCE FLOOR. NLDA was founded in 2006.

In 2009 the studio built a new facility in Frazee. In 2013 NLDA opened a new location in Park Rapids. We teach ballet, tap, jazz, modern, hip hop and have competition teams as well. Our instructors love to share their passion for dance. Each of our students hold a special place in our hearts.

✨ Hi, I’m Kendall Ware! ✨

For those who may be new here, I am the owner and director of Northern Lights Dance Academy. Twenty years ago, I opened the studio with a dream of creating a place where dancers could learn, grow, and discover their love of dance. Today, my passion for dance—especially ballet and the traditions it carries—is stronger than ever.

One of the greatest joys of this journey has been watching hundreds of dancers step into our studios, gain confidence, achieve goals, and experience those unforgettable moments when something finally clicks. Those moments never get old.

Behind the scenes, you’ll find me answering emails, keeping the studio running, and cheering on every dancer along the way. 💙💛💙💛

As we prepare for Season 21, I am filled with gratitude, excitement, and anticipation for all that is ahead. Thank you for being part of the Northern Lights Dance Academy family. I can’t wait to see what this season brings!

✨ Here’s to another year of growth, hard work, friendships, and unforgettable dance memories. See you in the studio! ✨

☀️Summer Dance Starts Tomorrow!

The countdown is over! We can’t wait to welcome all of our dancers back to the studio as we kick off our June Summer Dance Camps tomorrow!

Over the next two weeks, dancers will have the opportunity to strengthen their technique, build confidence, learn new skills, and continue growing as artists. From first steps to advanced training, every class is a chance to learn, improve, and have fun doing what we love.

Get ready for exciting classes, new challenges, lots of laughter, and plenty of dancing! We are so excited to spend part of our summer with such an amazing group of dancers.

Last week, we celebrated a very special milestone — our amazing instructor turning 40! 🎉💙

We truly could not do the studio without her. Her passion, dedication, creativity, and love for every dancer shines through in everything she does. She brings so much joy, positivity, and energy into every class, and our dancers are so lucky to learn from her each week.

Over the years, she has earned numerous choreography awards and continues to inspire everyone around her with her talent and commitment to dance. Beyond the awards and accomplishments, she creates a space where dancers feel confident, encouraged, and loved.

Thank you for everything you do for our studio family. We are beyond grateful for you and hope this year brings you as much happiness as you bring to all of us. Help us wish her a very happy 40th birthday! 🎂✨
