From the reviews
My daughter trained at dance institute for nine years. I am proud to say she was one of twelve females accepted into The Juilliard School, class of ‘24, BFA Dance program. She earned a large scholarship at every university she applied to.
If your dancer is in recreational dance or going pre-professional, look no further. Dance Institute hands down will provide the best training you will find in the Austin area. We drive 30 min each way to get our dancer to the studio.
Great dance school, excellent teachers, incredible training. Been at school since 2009. Very pleased.
I have been attending the adult Ballroom class on Tuesday nights. The professional Instructor, Denis Generalov, is very skilled and knowledgeable in International Standard Ballroom technique (and also Standard Latin). He is also fluent in both English and Russian.
Your first ballet class at Dance Institute
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
