My family and I have been patrons and fans of this studio for over 18 years-- and yes, they have been around for even longer than that. The mission of this studio is to not only teach the fine art of dance and performance, but to take each student's skills, qualities and desires to succeed as an artist and develop individuals of character. Let's be honest, not every child who has an interest in dance is going to be well-suited for a professional career in dance. The Austin Conservatory (ACD) is a place of more than just dance. It is a place where you meet your best friends for life; its a place where you grow-up; and its a place where you learn the meaning of commitment and dedication. ACD's instructors are well-trained and knowledgeable, but above all they have the skills to work with students of all different levels. Their proven curriculum is safe and progressive and above all builds in an evaluation system so parent, student and even instructor knows the class instruction has been successful. If this studio was anything less than suitable for instruction The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD: check it out online) with whom they are affiliated with would have shut them down a long time ago. I'm pretty sure they still offer specials for trial classes and their instruction fees are such a deal. I'm on the west coast now and miss this studio tremendously!
Pros: Wonderful staff; well-rounded and professional studio
