Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“What can I say about this company? I’ve been a dancer for a long time and am coming back to it after a decade-long break. Ms. Haley is exceptionally talented, kind, driven and the best teacher I’ve ever had. Her studio Is clean and cute, and she is beyond affordable for the high-quality instruction she offers. You won’t be sorry.” – Evie D.

Not Your Average Dance School

We wanted to learn a little more about this award-winning dance school and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Haley Burchett, the owner of The Dance Company of Minot.

The first question we had for Haley was what sets The Dance Company of Minot apart from their competition in North Dakota. Here’s her response:

“We treat our students as human beings first. They have a name; they have a birthday. They are never a number. Regardless of if I have three or 30 [students], they are never lost in a sea. A dance studio should feel like home. I firmly stand behind balance.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at The Dance Company of Minot and how they work to make the world a better place. Haley told us that, since she purchased the business in 2016, they’ve done a lot more community involvement and increased their social responsibility, but she’d like to do so even more. Previously they’ve coordinated a flash mob for The Domestic Violence Center in Minot, and Haley told us that they are the team to call when you want a flash mob or flash mob choreography in Minot.

“My thing is, if you are going to do something for children, you must lead by example and be very careful. They are not adults.”

Building Success With a Strong Online Presence

Haley attributes The Dance Company of Minot’s growth and strong online reputation to their efforts to keep Facebook up to date, to upload videos on Youtube and to the word-of-mouth referrals they get from their happy clients.

There are so many business owners out there who would love to build the kind of online reputation The Dance Company of Minot has. Here’s Haley’s expert advice for those business owners:

“Avoid posting anything that doesn’t seem authentic, whether that is Facebook or your website. They need to fall in love with you, not your business. A lot of people can see through fake niceness. Be true to who you are, and flaunt it — even your mistakes — own it, apologize and move on.”


Congratulations to the team at The Dance Company of Minot for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Haley, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend The Dance Company of Minot. Visit their website today!
