Dance at Your School

Dance Discovery offers classes at the Abacus School of Austin & Leander with our professional studio staff. Our degreed teachers come to the school and teach in the studio on the Abacus School campus each week. Abacus students in Preschool STORYTIME DANCE™ Curriculum, Primary STORYTIME DANCE™ Curriculum and Hip Hop classes perform in our annual recital as well. Toddler Dance Expressions classes for 2 year olds are also offered on campus and they perform for their parents there at school.

The 2026 Recital will be held May 26th-30th, 2026

Location: Life Austin Theatre Mueller, 1504 E 51st St, Austin, TX 78723
Date: TBD

Calendar

The following holidays allow for all class days of the week to meet an average of 40 times in the season. Make up classes are not needed for these holidays as they are not charged in tuition.

On-site childcare centers are continuous enrollment year-round.

These are scheduled holidays for this dance session and are not included in the total number of class days or tuition. Please note that no refund will be due because classes are not being canceled for these dates. The central studio office staff also follow this calendar.
