Our Wonderful Community


After owning my own dance studio in Oak Hill, I am filled with gratitude for the open arms that have welcomed me and my students at Balance Dance Studios in South Austin.

Owning a studio was a fun adventure that introduced me to many new students, colleagues, and helped me to grow a wonderful “dance family” that I wholeheartedly love. 

What a blessing it has been over the past three months to find myself, my students, and the art of partner dancing fully embraced by the warm, wonderful staff at Balance.

Kathy and Kristin, BDS's sharp and savvy studio owners, have a pioneering spirit, astute business sense, as well as a gift for dance.

Danielle, Shelby, Shawna and Trulie make up Balance’s very supportive and helpful staff.  Each has the heart of a servant leader and a love for dance.

Balance Dance Studios has so much to offer the Austin dance community, incorporating classes in a wide-variety of dance styles, along with fitness that supports every dancer’s body and health.  In fact, the scope of classes at Balance is broad enough to even include families and mothers-to-be. 

Personally, I love being a part of a studio that supports the art of dance in all of its forms.

I encourage every member of the Austin dance community to visit Balance.  I know you will find it to be a warm, welcoming addition to your world of dance.

Keep dancing!

Welcome 2013!


As we begin this beautiful New Year, I am filled with thoughts of building a stronger, more united dance community in Austin during 2013.


Dancers, instructors, studios, and dance clubs, alike, share a responsibility to each other in building a strong community in a city as small as Austin. 
We need each other! 
We need a spirit of cooperation, support, and mutual promotion in order to grow together, increasing our population of dancers.

Dance is an enriching gift and fulfilling art! 

What a lovely way to express the fun and joy that one experiences in life!  Who would not want to share in this?

On February 2 – Austin is host to a Free Day of Dance 
If you love the art of dance, or if have not yet learned to dance but have always wanted to, this is a great opportunity to experience dance lessons!  I will at Balance Dance Studios donating my time during this community-wide effort. 

You don’t want to miss it!


 
Here is a great link to a website that advertises Austin dance studios, clubs, events, and instruction throughout the city http://dance.austin.tx.us/places.html#qs
 
James Skowbo, host of this terrific resource, publishes a weekly newsletter that will keep you updated on all dance-related activities throughout the city.  James has been a long-time supporter of dance and is committed to keeping our community together and informed.
 


Thank you, James!  You do a great job and you are sincerely appreciated by all!

I hope to see you all on the dance floor in 2013!
