From the reviews

My daughter loves this place, there tap program is exquisite and they where voted best in the Brainerd lakes area. They have been the best place around sense they opened 41 years ago. I highly recommend it!

★★★★★ — Ashley, Oct 2019

Very clean studio, great instruction! By far the best Tap program in the state! All instructors are highly qualified and great at what they do! If you're looking for an amazing studio that teaches proper dance technique- this is the place to be!

★★★★★ — L, Jan 2018

We used Music General Production Services for an event at Cragun's. The Music General team was extremely helpful, always going above and beyond. Kevin, Zach, Justin - and others I'm sure I missed - they were incredible! We'll use them for future events for sure!

Your first ballet class at Music General

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
