About the Instructor & Founders
Deanna Constantine
Owner / Instructor
Deanna follows in the footsteps of her parents, the renowned dance instructors Dean and Mary Constantine. She gained much of her teaching experience instructing with her parents, and incorporates into her classes their philosophy of making learning to dance attainable by even the most reluctant of students. Deanna grew up surrounded by dance and spending much of her childhood learning ballroom dancing and training in Russian classical ballet. She has been sharing her passion for dance ever since by conducting classes in communities throughout the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs. Rather than operating a studio, she contracts with park & recreation and community education programs to make learning to dance more accessible and affordable to her students. She strives to make classes fun and easy so all her students experience success! She holds a bachelors degree in elementary education from the University of MN.
Dean and Mary Constantine
Founders
Icons of the local dance scene since the 1950s, Dean & Mary provided dance instruction to Minnesotans for nearly 60 years! They shared their talents with "well over 100,000 students" as Dean often cited. They had the original idea of bringing the studio to the students rather than the students to the studio. They traveled all around the metro, contracting with community education, park and recreation, country clubs, health clubs, businesses, and even neighborhood home groups. Their tradition continues to this day with their daughter, Deanna, running the business. Mary still resides in Minnesota. Dean passed away on September 23, 2016 at the age of 86. Photo: Dean and Mary received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" presented to them by USA Dance Minnesota in Sept. 2006.
