Our Building

Our Minneapolis studios above the now-vacant Burch Pharmacy started life in the 1910s as a dance hall. Purchased in the 1940s, it was converted to a Masonic Temple. When the Masons expanded to a new building across Franklin Ave it was converted to dance studios and theater space. The long time home of the Nancy Hauser Dance Company, the dance space is currently used by over a dozen groups besides The Cassandra School and Jawaahir Dance Company. To see some of the other groups that rent space in our building, click here. In 2005 we started holding classes in St. Paul and in that same year we opened our Bloomington studio.
