Mission Statement:

We are a dance studio which uses training as a means through which to not only create exceptional dancers, but to build character and teach valuable life lessons.

Core Values:

Client/student experience/culture: our commitment to proactive customer service and delivery of a WOW experience at every touch point to all audiences (students, parents, vendors, staff, etc) creates a warm and welcoming culture and a family friendly environment that is positive and enthusiastic, affirming to dancers of all ages, instilling confidence, and considering the unique giftedness of each one. Furthermore, we invest in the professional development and job satisfaction of our teachers and staff and work to finesse the programming to suit the needs and requests of our dance family.

Passionate performance: we are committed – heart, body, and mind – to continuous forward momentum and innovative programming, and this drives us to energize, engage, and empower our students to take risks, reach beyond existing boundaries, experiment and find new ways to grow. The integrity behind our training is demonstrated in our students’ executional excellence and quality. What we do, we do well. We master fundamentals and keep growing/evolving. Through relational longevity, our students are shown and can pursue a progressive path, whether just recreational or competitive.

Community: we seek to pay it forward. We practice continual gratitude for all we have been given and strive to give back through various means, including work trade opportunities, our non-profit fundraising, providing residency/rehearsal space for local dance artists, and serving as a campus location for differently abled dance classes.

Vision:

Pursuit: We strive for constant improvement and seek to deliver our very best in all that we do. We lead by example, building teams and strategic partnerships to collaborate with and help strengthen the connectedness of the greater Austin dance community.

Community

The Dance Spot is situated within sight of the original “Round Rock” for which the city was (re)named, in 1854, in recognition of a large rock in the middle of Brushy Creek where much time was spent by members of the community, sitting and fishing.

Evolution

In 2020, another local competition team, Evolve Dance Collective, under the direction of Melissa Best, joined forces with our Rise competition team, at The Dance Spot, to become an unbeatable duo in the Round Rock community, as Rise Dance Collective.

Staff Spotlight

Our studio manager, AnnMarie, owned her own studio, AMS Dance Collective, in Indianapolis, before moving to Round Rock. In addition to running her own studio, she has been performing and teaching for over 25 years, so you may see her popping into classes at the studio!

My daughter has been going here for a couple of months. I must say it is an upgrade from the last place we were at. They are very knowledgeable on all types of dance. I love how they are very structured and strict when it comes to hair and dance gear m.. The instructors are all very sweet and have backgrounds in dance .I love this place even though it’s further from my house and the location is horrible with the traffic but it is worth it

I love this place . I was a professional dancer back in the day so deciding were to put my daughter was a tough choice . They are so nice and couldn’t be more happy . Ms Lisa is so sweet and a great teacher with our little ones . She knows how to keep the class going and that’s hard with 2-3 year olds. My two year old has her days where she doesn’t want to wear her tap shoes and no one forces hers too ! They just let the Two year olds be two year olds! She has learned so much and I love all the shows and extra events they offer! We had a blast at the trunk or treat event! Love love this place!
