Greater Austin Dance Academy offers classes in tap, ballet, jazz, pointe, leaps and flexibility, hip-hop, musical theater, contemporary, lyrical, street jazz and drill prep. We have classes for children ages 2 – 18!
Greater Austin Dance Academy operates on the same school-year calendar as the Round Rock school district. Therefore, we are closed for the Thanksgiving holidays, winter holidays, and spring break. Please check with the studio in regards to Monday holidays. Often, we will still have classes even though students may be out of school on these days. Remember, monthly tuition is based on the full year. Therefore, tuition is never prorated due to holidays nor absences.
No, because we believe in limiting class sizes, students cannot come and go throughout the year. Curriculum is designed from Sept-May and attendance is necessary for students and to hold a child’s place in class. If your child does wish to discontinue his/her dance class before the end of the year, written notice MUST be given to the front office before the 2nd of the month to avoid tuition auto-draft.
Yes! We strongly encourage your child to make-up classes due to absences or illness. Please have him/her attend any class of a same or lower level. See the front desk if you have any questions about which classes to attend for make-ups. All make-ups should occur within one month of the original absence. Due to recital preparations, we do not allow make-ups after March 1st.
