About Tapestry Folk Dance Center

Tapestry Folkdance Center creates opportunities for participation in the joys of dance and music from around the world. Dragon Crane is proud to become a part of this community because both Shaolin Kenpo and Qigong work with music and movement. In fact, our choreographed forms are referred to as "dances." 

Tapestry Folkdance Center is located in the building at 3748 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55406. There is ample street parking in front of and around the building, and a few open spots in the parking lot adjacent to the building.

Tapestry's studios are beautiful, with sprung hardwood floors, sound systems, and an HVAC system that cycles in 100% fresh air 4-9 times an hour when the ceiling fans are running. We find this space particularly suited to Qigong, where a peaceful setting and fresh air play such an important role in the art. It is a joy to teach here.

What People Say

Slide

I have been taking QiGong classes with Sifu Robyn for several months now and can feel the beneficial effects in my body and mind. I always feel better after every class. Sometimes, during the class I think this is so simple and slow, how can it be helpful? I feel the meditative benefits of the movements with the deep focused breath work. I feel improvements with my balance and strength. I had a goal of being able to play Pickleball and I am now doing it! I'm very grateful for this experience.

I have really enjoyed the Qi Gong class you offer. What I love about the class:
- getting grounded
- movement - muscles I don't use every day
- massaging my internal organs
- getting healthier, stronger, better balance
- the pace is perfect for me at this time.
Many of the movements we do are similar and reinforce my P.T. exercises.
Thank you so much for offering us this opportunity

As I age, Qigong is the perfect class for me. Anyone at any age or physical ability can learn and practice it. No special equipment or clothing is needed. It meets me where I am on any given day.
-
The in-person class setting with time for questions, explanations and demonstrations is very helpful.
-
As a result of the class I have noticed an increase in my energy level. I am less stressed. I feel physically and emotionally stronger and more flexible. The benefits are subtle yet profound which reflect my opinion of the actual practice as well.
