About Curio Dance
Curio Dance teaches dancers of all abilities ranging from recreational interests to pre-professional performers – all connected by the same love of expressive movement.
Created by a family that has performed on stages around the world, we chose Stillwater, Minnesota as our home to share our practice of creating, celebrating and nurturing a limitless love of dance.
What our customers say about us
Our daughter has been dancing with Curio Dance’s performing division since 2015, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the exceptional training and support she has received. Unlike typical “competition” studios, Curio Dance focuses on providing professional dance instruction that not only hones technical skills but also instills qualities like dedication, poise, and confidence—skills that will serve her well in any future career, whether in dance or beyond. The studio’s commitment to nurturing each dancer’s unique potential has been evident in our daughter’s remarkable growth and development over the years. We highly recommend Curio Dance Studio to any family looking for a positive, enriching dance experience that prepares dancers for success in all areas of life.
Kirsten PParent
Curio Dance is a fabulous studio where every performer is challenged and valued. They have found the perfect mix of giving high-quality dance instruction while remaining age-appropriate and fun. All the teachers are caring, technically skilled dancers who know how to build a supportive environment. Watching the recitals every year, you can see the joy and growth from the dancers. I highly recommend Curio Dance!
Rachel S.Parent & Educator
I love the adult tap class and look forward to it every week! It is great exercise for your body and your brain and our class is the ideal balance of fun and challenge. The instructors are amazing performers and even more amazing teachers. They have the unique ability to teach and encourage anyone at any level.
Sue P.Adult Tap Student
The positivity abounding at Curio and the fact that they believe that everyBODY can dance permeates what is done there. The dance instructors are professionally trained and have high standards for all of the dancers. Students learn the language of dance and not just a dance routine to be performed.
Angela Y.Parent
My daughter loves being at Curio Dance! The teachers are extremely talented and so positive and encouraging. The studio is very welcoming to those of all abilities. Curio also works very hard to find a variety of performance opportunities that are not found at all studios. We simply could not have found a better place to dance!
Dixie R.Parent
Curio Dance is the perfect place for all types of dancers whether you’ve been dancing for 10 years or 10 days. It’s such an open community with support coming from all directions. We are a performance-based school and hold performances throughout the city to showcase all of our hard work. This is so rewarding because I never have to worry about the pressure of competing or getting the best score, just putting on an amazing show!
Lexy WidiPerformance Division Student
Curio Dance approaches teaching the discipline of dance in a higher education format that sets them aside from all other dance studios in this area while teaching the students to be incredible performers. As a parent I have always known that not only will my daughter get top quality dance training with Curio Dance but will be doing so in a safe and emotionally stable environment. When asked where my daughters second home is she will say without a doubt, at Curio!
