It includes a 400-seat auditorium, the Patti Strickel Harrison Theatre, where we saw the inaugural performance of the musical, Anything Goes, this weekend. Clearly outstanding, Broadway-worthy productions such as this deserve this professional venue. Not only is it equipped with state-of-the-art technology, it's architecturally beautiful and comfortable for patrons. Our seats were on the floor level, but the wrap-around balcony is positioned so there isn't a bad seat in the house. It's an intimate setting, which is nice for connecting with the live shows, but it also means the shows sell out. Buy your tickets in advance online rather than driving out and chancing getting one at the door. Tickets for this performance ranged $15-$18, for a total of $20 with the purchase fees. Such a deal that I'll have no problem making the drive from Austin often with family and friends. Texas State Students get in for $8. Right across the street is the Edward Gary Street Garage, built in tandem with the PAC to allow for easy parking. We paid $5 flat rate. The PAC also houses a 300-seat recital hall, rehearsal and classroom space, so there's a lot more going on in that building than the shows. No wonder their programs are becoming nationally known.

Through the years, the teachers have continued to share their expertise & love for ballet, tap, hip hop, lyrical, jazz & musical theater.

With the craziness of last year's pandemic, I was very impressed with how the studio's owner, Missy Taylor, and all the wonderful teachers handled it. Now we are back in the studio with limited class sizes, extra precautions, and more cleaning of a studio that wasn't ever dirty to begin with. Both my girls are looking forward to this year. If you are looking for a great studio, look no further.

This summer, my son received a full scholarship (completely free training!) to a prestigious four-week summer intensive in North Carolina. Both of my children have been accepted to some of the best summer intensives in America, including Boston Ballet, the Bolshoi, and American Ballet Theatre. They are receiving excellent training. Their training has improved not only their dancing, but also other aspects of their lives (such as school) that require discipline, focus, and commitment. We have been so happy with the conservatory and are grateful to Caitlin Kelly, the owner, and all the other wonderful teachers who are caring and kind but also hold the dancers to high standards.
