The Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts — Attraction in Minneapolis

I have only been too a performance here once, but my experience was great. Parking is the usual for downtown events, but super close to rail for a savvy visitor!

The reception area is pleasant, contemporary, and lit with the ambiance of the bustling street contrasting the lobby chic. Reception personnel were engaging, hosts were very knowledgeable and helpful. Theater was nice, classic feel, good acoustics, lighting, etc. But fyi-seats are paired, meaning, if you got 3 seats, there would be a gap between 2 of you (out of you are a couple, u may be split--but it seemed everyone was great about shuffling)

I absolutely love the Cowles Center and the performances I have attended there, including last night’s performance of Cabarave! Although this is year marks the sixth performance of Cabarave, this is my first time attending! It is an amazing show with varied types of performances and even some audience participation! There was fire, tap dance, silks, arielists, hip hop, rap, pole dancing, performance art and much much more! There was even performances in the lobby at the act breaks! The price point for the Cowles Center is always amazing! The tickets last night were $35 for a full two hour show! I will definitely be returning time...
