Storybook Ballet, founded in 2000, is a unique and enchanting children’s ballet school that combines beginning classical ballet instruction with the delight of fairytales and famous ballet stories. Founder and Director, Meredith Mast, is a former professional ballerina with the Houston Ballet. Her dream was to create a school that would foster a love of ballet and teach the proper fundamentals of classical ballet technique … all with a touch of magic!
We are a niche ballet school that focuses solely on children and classical ballet, with teachers that specialize in teaching young children and who have in-depth training in classical ballet. The school’s curriculum is based on almost twenty years of teaching children, and over forty years studying the art form. Classes are offered specifically for ages 3-9, with five levels of ballet classes within those ages.
Storybook Ballet is a non-competitive, non-recital focused school that introduces children to the beauty of ballet and plants the seed for a lifelong love and appreciation of the art form.
When we formed Salsabrosa, we knew it was important to bring together the most talented Latin musicians in the Twin Cities. We also made a conscious decision to “bring salsa to the masses” in a very personal way: through the dances themselves.
By making dance instruction part of every Salsabrosa performance, we’re able to share the energy and exhilaration that we feel as musicians by inviting Latin music lovers to the dance floor. In fact, the West African rhythms of our music make it almost impossible to resist moving your body.
And, while salsa, bachata and merengue are a complex musical blend of passion, energy, and vitality, learning to move to these Latin rhythms isn’t complicated at all. After a few minutes with our expert instructors, you’ll have the dance steps - and the confidence - to take you through an exhilarating night of dance.
Salsabrosa loves bringing salsa to you ... and we look forward to seeing your passion on the dance floor.
There is one big thing that makes Fringe different from any other event in town: All the shows you'll see at Fringe were selected randomly. Yep. That's right. Each year we select our lineup by placing numbered ping-pong balls into a bingo cage and pulling them out, one by one. From stage veterans to people who are brand new to theater, Minnesota Fringe is a forum for anyone with a story to tell and provides the support to make producing a show as easy as possible.
The mission of the Minnesota Fringe is to promote freedom and diversity of artistic expression by linking adventurous artists with adventurous audiences.
