Dance With Me Austin caught our attention because they offer dance lessons for wheelchair users…read more They're located inside The Domain, and when we arrived, the first thing I noticed was the wall of glass windows. You can see everything from the outside, and I'll be honest, I felt a little awkward knowing people could watch us. Once inside, I noticed several couples dancing with different instructors and had a moment of nervousness, wondering if there would be enough space for us. Then we met our instructor, Johnny, and all of that disappeared. He is an absolute delight. From the start, he made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely at ease. I quickly forgot about the windows and the other dancers. We had plenty of room, and that's entirely thanks to how Johnny guided the lesson. Even though we were doing a shorter intro session, he managed to teach us all the basics to the song we chose. Somehow, it felt incredibly intimate and personal, even in such a large, open space. We had so much fun that we've decided to continue our lessons. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for an inclusive, welcoming place with truly wonderful instructors.

Dance With Me Austin has truly become like a second home to me. From the very first class, I felt…read morenot just welcomed but genuinely cared for. The instructors are beyond talented, but what makes them so special is their kindness, patience, and the way they believe in you even when you doubt yourself. They meet you where you are, and then somehow bring out the very best in you every single time. Over the course of my journey here, I've not only learned how to dance with more skill and grace, but I've also found a community filled with joy, encouragement, and laughter. Every lesson feels like a celebration, and I always leave lighter and happier than when I came in. Dance With Me isn't just a studio it's a place where confidence, artistry, and friendships grow. I'm forever grateful for the love, passion, and family I've found here

We recently started at Dance Discovery with high hopes, but unfortunately, our experience so far…read morehas been quite disappointing. My daughter (age 3) has attended four different classes with different instructors as we tried to find the right fit for her. As a shy new student, I expected at least a minimal effort from the teachers to help her feel welcomed and included--but that has largely been missing. In most of the classes, there was little to no effort to engage her, encourage her participation, or help her feel part of the group. Even in the few classes that had student assistants present, they did not step in to support her or offer any guidance. In one instance, my daughter needed tap shoes (which are available in a shared bin for those without), and rather than assisting us, the student assistant pointed me toward the bin to figure it out myself--something that could have easily been handled more supportively, especially for a brand-new child. Another serious concern is bathroom access. My daughter is still potty training, and after a 45-minute drive to get to class, we often urgently need to use the restroom upon arrival. To access the bathrooms, however, you must walk through two active classrooms, which feels disruptive and uncomfortable. On one occasion, it took us over 10 minutes just to get into a stall, which meant missing a significant portion of class while awkwardly waiting in a hallway right next to an ongoing session. Overall, I'm very surprised by the lack of accommodations or support for young children and new families. It's disappointing because I had high hopes for this studio, but at this point, I'm not confident that it's the right environment for us and we have already put in our 30 days.

Where to start with Danzversity? I have been taking dance classes at Danzversity since October of…read morelast year, so going on four months now. I had been seeking a dance studio that had a real community feel and good vibes, in addition to interesting classes for adults and attentive and caring instructors. I tried a few studios in the area and none really clicked for me as much as Danzversity did. The two core instructors, Jaymie and Hassan, have truly cultivated a special environment here. There's something about the space that just inspires joy and carefree feelings. People of all dance experience levels come here and learn, and everyone is supportive of one another. The instructors inspire and promote a judgement free environment. Somehow, whenever I come here, no matter how stressed and anxious I am from my work day, my racing mind settles and I leave with a belief that I can handle my "problems". I don't know how exactly that happens, but I 100% attribute the consistency of positive experiences to whatever it is that Jaymie and Hassan do when they step to the front and center of class and turn up the music. It's as if the good vibes that flow through their veins ooze through their pores and circulate through the air and then somehow make their way into our bloodstreams. I don't know y'all. I just feel good in there. Everyone feels good in there. Needless to say, dance class has become therapy for me, and I've become a regular. Even my husband who used to refuse to dance with me at weddings has become a regular. A self-described "tin man" of two left feet whose calves cramp easily, he wears a big goofy grin throughout class. And with a few months of consistency, I'm proud to say he's at a point where he will be able to keep up with me on wedding dance floors. The adult classes last 50 minutes, with the first half a warm-up that prioritizes elevating body temperature and practicing steps that will eventually make their way into a choreography sequence in the second half of the class. It is a good workout and people go at their own pace. Breaks for water and whatever is needed are encouraged. For some classes there is actually a live DJ. That's right - a LIVE DJ. It's like a real party in there. Danzversity also hosts guest professional dancers who put up an instructional session for Afrobeat dance styles once per month with Pon-Di-Beat (check out pondibeat.com for more info). I've been to one of those and am so looking forward to the next one. If you've read this far, do yourself a favor and head over to the website, select the schedule, and click on some of the classes to read their descriptions. How could one resist the funkadelic pull of a "Glitter Tiger" or "Velvet Disco-Karate" class? To finish up I will summarize: if you are seeking a place that will elevate you to a transcendent state of just... soothing sounds, movement, and bliss, look no further than this vibrant, wonderful studio. Everyone needs to have some fun and good vibes. Forget about your deadlines and pile of work and chores for one hour and give yourself some time to play. This studio and its people will brighten your life.

I was really impressed by the facilities and layout of the place-- much larger on the inside than it looked on the outside. There was the large dance area with mirrored wall, plenty of folding chairs we could use, a large lobby with places to sit and wait for the previous class to finish up, even a quiet booth on the far side, and a little nook with a fridge and microwave. The fun-colored neon lighting was a nice visual touch, coupled with the ability to play music on the sound system really set the mood! The owner was very helpful about making us feel welcome, getting us set up, and letting us know where everything was and how to use the facilities. The only two things that could have been better were the cramped parking lot with limited spaces, and the single occupant bathroom. It was a really nice bathroom, but there was only the one so it caused a wait to use it. Would definitely rent this space again!!
