The Dance Connection

The Dance Connection Nurturing teachers, empowering kids! NW Iowa & SW Minnesota’s #1 dance studio! Welcome to Dawn's Dance Connection!!!

We are northwest Iowa's #1 dance studio and have been for the past 30 years. We are located just off of Highway 9 behind KUOO in Spirit Lake. We are now also located in downtown Jackson, Minnesota. We not only provide top notch dance instruction, but we also supply dance shoes and attire. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE
OF A DANCE EDUCATION!!!! The study of dance or tumbling provides opportuni

ties to develop a positive self-concept, be motivated to be physically fit, appreciate music, develop creativity and leadership skills, make new friends, manage stress, and increase strength, flexibility, coordination, endurance, and agility. Our goals are:

•Perform with body, mind, and soul.
•Increase coordination, poise, and grace to ultimately increase self-confidence.
•Develop technique.
•Appreciate the art of dance.
•And most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!

We loved seeing so many of our incredible dance families—old & new—at our Open Houses yesterday! 🤍

We were especially excited to show off Phase 1 of our Jackson façade renovation, including our new awning & updated logo! We still have some paint, flashing & masonry work to complete the project, but we’re loving seeing it all come together!

A BIG thank you to Jackson Economic Development for supporting this project through their Downtown Façade Grant. We’re so grateful for their investment in our downtown community & our little corner of it! 🥰

Come dance with Abby before she heads back to Texas! 💕🧑🏼‍🩰

We're so excited to offer a special pop-up Ballet Masterclass with Abby on Tuesday, August 4 for dancers ages 7+

Abby has been training full-time in the pre-professional division at Texas Ballet Theatre since January, and we couldn't be more proud of all she's accomplished. She's not only an incredible dancer, but such a wonderful role model, and we can't wait for her to share her love of ballet with our students! (PLUS what a great way to prep for Nutcracker this year!)

Existing TDC families can register through the Parent Portal. New students are welcome too! Just text Maddie at 712-339-1152 to reserve your spot.
