Dance Arts Centre has been serving the Eden Prairie and Chanhassen, Minnesota area for over 45 years. The program is led by DAC owner Jill Rieken and a staff that includes Kylie Carlson, Lindsey Eberhard, Jessica Flosi, Pam Gleason, Jessica Goulet, Ashley Halloran, Sophia Hedlund, Katie Hieb, Jaydan Kaehler, Cede Lano, Julia Levina, Taryn Meyer, Cate Parker, Jill Rieken, Jenn Sullivan, Mollie Sylvestre, Alysia Ulfers, Kate Vaughan, and Jane Ward. The studio’s mission is “Developing strong dancers with even stronger character,” and it states a focus on “Character First,” emphasizing perseverance, respect, and teamwork. Dance Arts Centre notes that dancers go beyond technique to develop life skills and to be respectful, confident, and conscientious young people who share their gifts and talents with the community.
The Competition Teams program is described as an option for more serious dancers, focusing on building strong technique, learning team camaraderie, and improving performance skills. The competitive team program consists of 12 performing teams, from pre-k through high school, ranging from intermediate to advanced dancers, and there is an option for a private audition or evaluation if a dancer misses auditions. Dance Arts Centre states that it specializes in beginners of all ages and offers training through pre-professional levels, and that from a child’s first class to a graduation performance, it has a class for everyone.
Dance Arts Centre mentions community involvement through events such as food drives. The program notes “What to wear” as part of its logistics, though no further details are provided in this description. DAC owner Jill Rieken received the 2025 Tremaine Teacher of the Year award.
Parent testimonials describe positive experiences with the quality and variety of instruction, the “Character First” motto in action, and dancers growing in independence, confidence, and skill over multiple years with the program.
