Parents describe Dance Institute as providing a “second home” where instructors show interest in developing students’ skills and nurturing a love of dance, and they note professional staff, polite kids, and supportive parents. Other parents say it is a place where kids grow up with big personalities, understand team spirit, and build friendships. Families also mention that the staff is responsible and kind, that learning there is fun and fulfilling, and that the studio is “the best” in Austin for becoming an amazing dancer, with top notch instructors, a strong facility, and access to talent from around the world. One parent shares that their child has become a more confident and skilled dancer and that the students’ hard work is clear in the shows.
