I have been dancing at Dance Institute for 3 years now and have loved it ever since the first day I walked in. The instruction I receive in both company and recreational classes is some of the best I have seen in Austin. The environment in the studio while practicing and relaxing is super loving and educational. I highly recommend it!!

Dance Institute provides high quality training and technique. The teachers are excellent and the director runs a great program. We have been there almost 3 years and are very happy.

Modern and clean facility. Great teachers, though they do seem to have a bit of high turnover. Communication could be a bit better at times. Overall though, Dance Institute does a good job teaching dance which is what I need them to do.
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. Denis is the best Professional Ballroom dancer in the Austin area and his classes are intended for those with some Dancesport experience, skills, and who are reasonably fit. Many of his students compete and perform in showcase events (amateur and pro-am). Denis also coaches many of the other professional dancers in the area and teaches workshops on specific dances. In addition to being a skilled dancer, Denis has the ability clearly convey the information to his students and he has the patients help them learn these techniques.
Fabulous technique, beautiful studio, wonderful children and parents...
The owner is frequently unkind, self-absorbed, talented, petty, self-sacrificing, extremely knowledgeable, demanding...a diva. The teachers know how to properly train a dancer. Dance at this level isn't for sissies. If you don't want to invest hugely with time, money, spirit and emotion...just forget it, because they won't invest in you.
I've seen negative comments from other concerned parents for this place deleted. Though the studio is nice and locatetd in a prestigious (but inconvenient ) part of town, it doesn't make up for the owner's lack of ability to communicate on a mature level. Previously I had three students enrolled but I won't be going back. My youngest (10 months) was crying for about 70 seconds when I sat her down next to me to free my hands to gather our belongings so I could wait outside for class to be through. The owner rushed the lobby and shouted "Can't someone get that baby to shut up?" Looked directly at me and said "Why don't you pick that baby up?!" All the moms in the room were just as shocked as me to hear an adult verbally assulting someone in that manner. If my child was disrupting other classes maybe asking me if I need help with quieting my baby may have been warranted but there was a group of about 8 10-12 year olds literally playing tag in the lobby. If she isn't capable of rationally working through a baby crying for a minute I can't imagine what kind of teacher she is in a classroom setting behind closed doors with a dozen prepubecent rambunctious girls. I wouldn't even consider leaving my children in her care.
