Youth Fall/Spring Schedule

For ballet classes, we have placement opportunities available for a Dance Spot ballet teacher to assess the student and ensure he/she is placed in the appropriate level class.  

For other classes, we recommend that dancers trial a class that seems like the correct age/level class, and the instructor can evaluate the student in class to ensure he/she is in the correct class.  If not, the teacher will recommend which alternate class is most appropriate for that student.

Here is a list of the attire requirements by class type: Class Dress Codes

We can take care of your needs for any shoes or dance attire needed for classes, excluding Pointe shoes.  If we don’t have your size, we can custom order for you!

We offer a sibling discount of 5% off of additional dancers from the same family after 1 dancer. The discount is applied after the full rate charge for the dancer taking the highest number of hours.  We offer a 5% discount for tuition paid in full (Aug-May). Discounts cannot be combined.

Dancers pay a $50 registration fee ($10 for each additional sibling) in the fall, a recital costume fee of $75 per dancer (per class participating in recital or Nutcracker classes), and a performance fee of $60 (or $80 per family) if participating in performance based classes. 

Nutcracker Fee dates: Mid September Costume Fee, mid October Performance Fee

Recital Fee dates: Mid November Costume fee (per participating class), and mid February performance fee

*Specific charge dates can be found in the student waiver when registering. 

We do have viewing windows in all studio doors but, in order to remove any distraction for students, we have installed high definition cameras in all studios, which are visible from televisions in the lobby areas, for the convenience of our parents.  

For dancers: our studios are equipped with floor to ceiling mirrors, wood sprung floors, views of the green belt, a great sound system, and cubbies to store personal belongings.  We also have a vending machine for snacks, fresh fruit and cold drinks available at the front desk, and a homework bar with laptop connections.  Best of all, we have the most fun and, more importantly, the highest caliber of teaching staff, in Round Rock!

For parents: We have comfortable lounge areas equipped with high definition camera feeds to watch your dancer in classes. 

Yes, you can still register!  We offer rolling registration through our fall semester and the first month of our spring semester. After January 31st, students call still register for technique classes and can join other classes, but will not be able to participate in the May recital.

We have four Dance Companies that dancers can audition for at The Dance Spot in the spring (April/May).

Rise Dance Company’s essential focus is to offer an avenue for dancers seeking a higher level of dance training.These dancers have a desire to fully commit themselves to the demand of Rise. We pride ourselves on training well-rounded dancers and giving them the opportunity to work with local and guest teachers/choreographers from all around the country. Company members are given support and guidance to enhance and personalize their craft so they can pursue whatever their interest, whether competitions, auditions, performances opportunities, college scholarships, or something else.  

Envision Dance Company: Envision Dance Company combines the joys of being on a competitive dance team while offering students the freedom and flexibility to maintain other extracurriculars. This team will require only 3 hours of class, one day per week but dancers can take as many as they would like in addition to their requirements. This group will also only be required to attend one competition per year and one spring showcase, but is encouraged to join our studio at as many events as they would like. Ignite will be a really great way for the already busy student to dip their toes into the competitive dance world and still have freedom in their schedule. It’s also a great way to join multiple companies at the studio.

Fuse Crew The Fuse Crew is a competitive youth Hip Hop and street style crew at The Dance Spot. For ages 8-18, the crew trains dancers to be entertaining performers, while growing teamwork skills by performing at various events, competitions, and dance conventions across Texas. The Fuse Crew focuses on building the youth community in Austin, and exposing more kids to hip hop and street culture.

Austin Youth Classical Ballet stands as an offering to all students seeking a rigorous pre-professional ballet company experience. AYCB strives to provide more in depth ballet training which directly complements its dancers weekly class work. Company dancers will have more performative and competitive opportunities than those on a recreational path.

We have a large youth dance program, offering combo classes for children as young as 2 years old (as of the start of our fall semester), as well as a comprehensive adult dance and fitness program. Find the schedule outlining various age groups and levels for ages 6+ here and for ages 2-5 here.

The Dance Spot will consider adding an additional class to the schedule if space allows if you can bring 5 or more dancers who want to take that class.  Otherwise, you can add a wish list class at the front desk so that, with enough requests for the same class/time, we can potentially add the class.  

Our Nurcracker takes place in early to mid December and incorporates classes noted as “Nutcracker” on our class schedule.  The Spring show (recital) takes place in May and includes almost all non-ballet recreational classes (not including technique and select non-technique classes).
