We’re relatively new to this studio but so far so very good. We were in other studios in the past but decided to go with this one as my 6 year old wanted to do hip hop rather than the combo classes. Not all studios have hip hop for her age. I like the space- they opened a new area with a lovely area for parents to wait (important when you have a few kids or one that goes a few times a week like mine does). They generally have a healthy approach to dancing. Lindsay (hip hop teacher) is cool and fun while giving them strong basis. We also started the toddler class with my 2.5 year old- Sheremy is simply amazing, my child has a smile on her face for the entire time. Such a fun music and movement experience.
My 10yr old’s first experience with ballet (a little older than most children) left her feeling so encouraged! So much that she showed us all she learned, explained the proper form, and then even wanted to choreograph what she did learn to other music pieces. Ms Jamie made us feel so welcomed - I was able to observe the interaction between the instructor and children and it was incredible. They were engaged! Watching Ms Jamie made me feel so confident and thankful that I found Dance Discovery just by watching her engage, instruct, and teach! Ms Jamie’s got some amazing talent and I am so glad that Dance Discovery has her on board to teach her talent to our child!! It doesn’t stop there! Ms Peggy who was subbing had her own unique way of teaching and guiding the children too! We didn’t get to stay long, but we felt such an appreciation for Ms Peggy too! So far we have observed such amazing talent, human kindness, and professionalism in Ms Jamie and Ms Peggy - we look forward to more of an experience for our child at Dance Discovery 🙌💕
We recently started at Dance Discovery with high hopes, but unfortunately, our experience so far has been quite disappointing. My daughter (age 3) has attended four different classes with different instructors as we tried to find the right fit for her. As a shy new student, I expected at least a minimal effort from the teachers to help her feel welcomed and included—but that has largely been missing. In most of the classes, there was little to no effort to engage her, encourage her participation, or help her feel part of the group. Even in the few classes that had student assistants present, they did not step in to support her or offer any guidance. In one instance, my daughter needed tap shoes (which are available in a shared bin for those without), and rather than assisting us, the student assistant pointed me toward the bin to figure it out myself—something that could have easily been handled more supportively, especially for a brand-new child. Another serious concern is bathroom access. My daughter is still potty training, and after a 45-minute drive to get to class, we often urgently need to use the restroom upon arrival. To access the bathrooms, however, you must walk through two active classrooms, which feels disruptive and uncomfortable. On one occasion, it took us over 10 minutes just to get into a stall, which meant missing a significant portion of class while awkwardly waiting in a hallway right next to an ongoing session. Overall, I’m very surprised by the lack of accommodations or support for young children and new families. It’s disappointing because I had high hopes for this studio, but at this point, I’m not confident that it’s the right environment for us and have thus put in our 30 days.
I can’t recommend dance discovery studio highly enough. The classes are incredibly versatile, and the teachers are not only highly professional but also bring a healthy, balanced approach to dance education. They share a deep knowledge of the dance world and provide tools and insights I haven’t seen in any other studio across Austin. My daughter is thriving and absolutely shining here — it’s truly a special place.
We love this dance studio and all the teachers and staff there! Everyone is so professional and kind! Our toddler can’t wait to go to class there every week! They offer different dance classes like Ballet 🩰 Tap, Jazz and etc.Definitely will recommend to all of our friends!
