Tarrytown Dance Center

My daughter started at Tarrytown dance when she was 2 ½. She is 4 now. We’ve done creative movement, ballet/​tap combo, the Frozen summer camp, and a Barbie winter break camp. Basically, anything they offer, we sign up for. My daughter’s dance classes here are the only activity she asks to do each and every semester (and even in the breaks between).
Here are some of the things we love–
1. The studio is the kind of place that builds community around it. I’ve made friends there. She’s made friends. It’s a warm and welcoming place. We didn’t know anyone in town when we started taking here, and I feel so blessed that we stumbled into such a friendly place.
2. I love that the owner, Leigh, actually teaches classes. And she’s phenomenal. Which I guess isn’t surprising since she’s been teaching dance since she was 16! Because she is a huge ball of energy and super fun, the girls love her, but she also is no push over. She keeps everyone in line. They learn a ton, even in the creative movement classes. She’s found the balance we all strive for as parents and want from our kids’ teachers.
3. At the end of the year they do a performance on the big stage at Westlake HIgh School. I can not tell you how special and cool this made my little girl feel-​she was beaming like she was a movie star.
There is not a kids activity in Austin I would recommend more. It’s just a really special place that has clearly been grown with love by a kind, fun, smart lady.

I adore my body sculpt class at Tarrytown Dance Center. The teachers are high energy, enthusiastic and know their stuff! I’ve taken here for 7 years and the women in my class are like family to me. Leigh is the owner and is the most energetic, sweetest person to deal with. Super convenient studio, fun, great people, super workout… you can’t beat it!

This is the best of the best. My son takes hip hop here and loves it. The teachers are amazing, the owner is over-​the-​top fab and the location is perfect — in the heart of Tarrytown.
They have kid and adult classes. Ballet, hip hop, Jazz and others.
I highly recommend it!

I loved taking Dance here, I took Jazz, Lyrical, and a Leaps & Turns class for a few years. The teachers are nice, but give excellent instruction. The prices aren’t cheap, but are reasonable for the quality of instruction that is received. The owner, Leigh, is the sweetest woman, and is always a joy to be around. Their customer service is excellent – all correspondance by phone or email is answered promptly. They also have a variety of summer programs, mostly catered to younger children, that seem like they would be great for busy moms in the summer.
If you’re looking for a nice, safe, and happy atmosphere for a child to learn dance, Tarrytown Dance Center would be perfect.
