MOMENTum Dance Project

"When my family moved to Saint paul, MN from Jackson, Mississippi four years ago we knew that we had to find a small dance studio that would fit our daughters needs. We found that at Momentum Dance Project after just one visit. Our daughter was welcomed to sit in on a class and the Director took time away to have a conversation with us rather than sending us an email with options. It was then that I knew we found the right place. Four years later, our daughter has blossomed, she has a dance family, she is challenged everyday and she LOVES being surrounded by her fellow teammates. Momentum is diverse and they are invested in each and every one of their students.If you are looking to do competitive dance or just rec classes; I would recommend MDP to anyone looking for a dance studio in the Twin Cities!"

"MDP has been our daughters' second home. Tara and her teaching artists encourage creativity, inclusion, artistry, and supportiveness over trophies and awards. All dancers are accepted and celebrated at Momentum, with the teachers serving as positive mentors and role models well after a dancer graduates. Dancers have more flexible class options, technique classes are separate from choreography for dancers who do not wish to compete, and the contemporary/modern focus is unique to the Twin Cities. We've appreciated and enjoyed our time with MDP!"

"Momentum Dance Project is a dance studio where the kids work hard and play hard together. It feels like a cohesive family where everyone strives to do their best and are so supportive of each other at all times, especially if kids feel like they let their teammates down. The growth and the artistry these kids have shown in a few short years has completely exceeded my expectations! The teachers are professional artistic choreographers who have a vision for telling stories through music. The dancers learn how to bring that story to life! Momentum is highly recommended for any dancer looking to expand his/her horizons and taking dance and individual talent to the next level!!"

"As an instructor at MDP and a former student of Tara Cacciatore, the artistic director, I truly believe in Momentum Dance Project's vision and I am so privileged to be a part of sharing it, and ushering in a new generation of artists, helping them develop their artistry to new levels. The studio has such a lovely atmosphere, it really feels like a home away from home. Training doesn't start and end with dance technique, it provides the unique opportunity to help the students grow into themselves as human beings. In the time I've been teaching at Momentum, my passion for dance has reached new levels, and it's thanks to the wonderful dancers and other staff members in equal regard. Much love to the MDP family!"

"My 9 year old daughter started at Momentum Dance Project two years ago. Initially we joined the studio because it was one of the only places we could find that offered modern technique for younger dancers. Quickly we realized just how special a dance home we had found. My daughter has thrived learning the different styles and the focus on technique has been wonderful for her development! She has had the opportunity to work with a variety of inspiring choreographers and leaves each class with a renewed love of dance! I am personally grateful to have found a dance studio that embraces diversity and tackles relevant topics in their competition pieces. I highly recommend MDP to anyone looking for a dance studio in the Twin Cities."
