Professional, patient and kind :) Ada has been an inspiration with her commitment throughout this pandemic lifestyle. Ive been taking her virtual classes (ballet and stretch) which are tailored to your own needs and level of skills. Once you complete a session/class, you will feel exhausted but happy, knowing youve accomplished a beautiful practice :)

Our daughter’s being taking classes at DANZA for for years now. We love the tight knit community and it’s been so awesome seeing our daughter benefit from all the positive things that a discipline like ballet teaches a young child. Ms. Marquez is such a positive influence in her life and we just love her. She has a different teacher this year for ballet and contemporary dance and we love her too. I highly recommend this school.

I am so glad I found this studio! I tried emailing and calling 3 other places before reaching out to them. Danza was the only one who actually answered or called me back. My Daughter started here in March of 2018 and has not missed a single day of class yet. I am so proud of the growth Ive seen in her and am so grateful for the structure and attention provided here. Ms Marcus and her staff are such a treasure and a blessing to have in our lives. Thank you for everything you do! Please dont ever change! We love you!

Just finished my first stretch class via Zoom with Ada and I am hooked! As an adult and after being away from my regular regiment for so long, this class felt like a great way to kick things back up. Ada is so mindful of the different levels of all of her students and presents such a positive energy, even through the screen.I already cant wait for the next class. I highly recommend it!!

We tried several ballet schools for our 9 year old daughter in 2019 before Danza, but Danza stood a class apart. They teach classical ballet in the true sense. Ms. Marquez is a well qualified and accomplished dancer and really knows the art of teaching the kids. When we went to virtual learning last year during Covid lockdown, we got to see her teaching style on the computer during the dance classes. She is really dedicated teacher, perfectionist and pays so much attention to minute details in the techniques of each individual and corrects them even during virtual lessons. From time to time, she invites guest teachers from famous ballet schools to teach a special session and that motivates our daughter a lot. As a result, our daughter got accepted for summer intensive program at American Ballet Theatre (ABT) in New York. The amount of personal time and effort put in by Ms. Marquez to prepare for the audition for this program was just amazing. I feel this school is worth a good investment in terms of our daughters time and effort as the returns are much higher than expected.

We love Danza. Our daughter has been attending for 2 years now and definitely plan on continuing. Ms. Marquez is amazing with the kids. She is very attentive to all the kids during virtual classes. We cant wait to get back in the classroom but will definitely continue virtual classes.

Im so glad I found DANZAs virtual classes!Ive been out of the studio for years and this has been such a great opportunity to jump back in. Ada and her staff are communicative and respond quickly to questions. The classes have been a nice end to my evening-- I feel challenged enough but not pushed over the edge to where its frustrating. (Which is nice for someone who isnt used to taking classes regularly.) Ada provides thoughtful feedback tailored to each student and shes definately a cheerleader for everyone during classes.The quality of instruction and welcoming atmosphere is something I havent found in many studios, but DANZA definately cultivates a positive learning environment for everyone from beginner to advanced.If youre looking to start your ballet journey or rejoin a class, this is the place to go.

DANZA has been a saving grace for me this year. With the pandemic it was difficult to find any form of exercise where I felt safe. I used to dance ballet and I missed it so much, but all the local studios were closed. I found DANZA and discovered that not only do they offer virtual classes, but virtual classes for adults who may be rusty!Ada is an amazing teacher and is great at providing instruction during this virtual environment. I love that I can take class with her all the way in El Paso, TX! I have recommended her classes to all my old ballet peeps!If you miss dancing or want to learn classical ballet, I highly recommend DANZA!

Ive been taking Adas adult Ballet class during Covid via Zoom and she is so motivating during this crazy time. I love her class! She caterers to all levels, is mindful of injuries/injury prevention, is incredibly paitent, and is articulate in her explanation of technique. Her positive energy is infectious! I definitely get a workout in class. I cant wait to take class again! Also, class is half off during Covid!

Lovely studio with great teachers! I wanted to get back into dancing, and signed up for the adult beginners class with Ada. Class is exciting and very fun. I really enjoy spending time learning at this studio, and would highly recommend it to those of all ages and skill levels!

I absolutely love DANZA! I havent done ballet since I was a kid and the Adult Beginner Dance Class is absolutely perfect for me. Its challenging but fun (and basically the best part of my week). I love the environment of the studio and cant wait to continue with the next round of classes.

I take the adult classes and i love it so much!

Love love love!! I could not have wished for a better first experience when coming into this studio. The owner was incredibly helpful and made sure I had all the information I needed and made me feel comfortable in preparing for my class. I attended the adult ballet class and felt very welcomed by both the teacher and the other ladies. They helped push me to keep trying, and Ada was prepared and very patient in explaining and demonstrating the combinations, which I appreciated very much. Later in the week I attended the Yoga class they offer, which was a completely new experience for me because I had never taken yoga before and the instructor was the nicest guy! I am definitely going to take both these classes again. I am so happy I went out and gave this studio a shot! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in trying a dance class or want their daughters to come in and learn about ballet or just movement in general, you wont regret it!

I highly recommend Danza to anyone interested in ballet - kids as well as adults! Ada is truly passionate about teaching and genuinely cares for all of her students. She is attentive, patient, and supportive. The adult classes are relaxed and non-intimidating. It’s a very welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can learn and grow. It’s been such a wonderful experience and I look forward to class every week!

The adult ballet class here is wonderful! It’s a great place to get back to dance. I highly recommend Danza to anyone who interested in ballet!

My 9 years old daughter loves DANZA very much. She learned a lot of ballet skills and also makes friends there. Highly recommended school.

- I absolutely love taking Ballet classes here!! I’ve heard ballet can be boring and even heard of some people falling asleep during ballet classes. With Ada teaching, I have always felt her passion, enjoyed her excitement, and loved how she instructs the proper techniques. I can’t wait to be more advanced ballet dancer. - I have taken classes sense April, I have done the deep stretch classes as well as Barre and enjoyed attending all aspects!!

My young son loves his experience with Miss Marquez and the other kids in his class. He was nervous at first and she does such a great job of keeping him focused and involved while instilling a sense of discipline and craft.

This is one of my favorite dance studios in North Austin. It feels brand new and super clean. Even though its primarily a Ballet studio, I have also taken a few Kizomba and Salsa workshops.My favorite class was the beginner adult ballet which was super fun. Ada, the studio owner, is a very passionate instructor and it came through in her classes. I walked away with an appreciation for ballet and some good habits that transfer to other dance styles.

My first review exceeds the character limit!!! that is how much I have to say about Danze. OK, here is a shorter version:When I signed up my girls to Danza, I was very skeptical. We have been to 3 dance schools, and I knew what to expect. But, Danza surprised me in the most positive way!1. Passion: Ada is a professional ballet dancer herself, and you can tell her heart is still on the stage. Her passion for ballet made Danza so much better. The kids there knows they are there to dance, not to kill time. and they know dance is not just another enrichment class. they learn the passion and learn hardworking. to me, this is the #1 thing I want my kids to learn. are they going to be a professional dancer? I doubt it, but if they want to, Danza get them ready from inside and out. if they dont want to be professional dancer, this experience will teach them passion and hard work is the key to success. Adas passion of ballet is filled into everything in the school. She has high expectation on students performance, and when the student showed improvements, she cheered with them as if she was a student dancer herself. This kind of spiritual support encouraged the student to their full potential. When you are in this school, you know Danza is not just there to make profit, they are teaching dance!2. Quality is their highest priority: the school is small for now. one studio only. Can Danza expand already? Yes. When I spoke to Ada, her concern around expanding is the quality of teaching. If she cant find a teacher as devoted as she is, and as good as she is, she would not expand even if it means more money for her. This is the kind of teacher I wish I had.3. Diversity: Ada teaches most of the class by herself. but she also bringing in different teachers to school to give the students a broader view of ballet and dance, including belly dance, musical theater, contemporary dance etc. etc.5. students: the students there ranges from little pre-schooler to adult. they all somehow get along super well, like a big family. I think Ada did a great job keeping all of them focused on dance, not on other stuff. Some students are very talented, some are not. but the not-so-talented students never showed the disappointment, and still going strong. that is another reason I like this school: dont give up on your passion.6. Cost: if you have been to any dance school, you know there would be a recital and you will have to pay $90 to $160 minimum for it. because most of the school will just charge the parents for the cost. But not at Danza. Ada has this mind set on how to save money for the parents. She put in lots of time to find the perfect location and the best costume, and not cost more than $20 per person. I was impressed.7. camps: I have seen many camps, crafts=coloring page, sports=running wild... but not at Danzas camp. Danza camp operates like this: students will have a theme, a movie. students will learn about the story line and make a show out of it. the show includes all sort of dances and singing. Students will make the props for the show, that is what crafts are for. for instance, Aladdin, they made the lamp as part of the show, and did belly dance. the last day of the camp, the students will put on a show for the parents. I was blown away by their 5 days prepared show, and how talented the kids are. no wonder they were voted best camp in town.8. small things: small things count.- for working parents, when we have to carpool, Ada would help to find carpool groups and try very hard to keep the group together. That is why every school year, she had to spend a long time to rearrange classes.- Ada hosts parent’s appreciation day, there would be some professionally baked cookies coffee or tea. I felt like a nice ballet mom, not someone just paid the bill. Nobody ever asked her to do that. but she does, because she cares.- school is super clean!!!I love this dance school!

My 7-year-old is taking her first ballet lessons here, and I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised. Not only in her dancing but at school too! She was getting distracted a lot in class, and taking ballet has really improved her behavior and has kept her more focused. I am so proud to see her trying hard at something she likes and seeing her do the same at school. It really has made a big difference, and I cant be more grateful.

Great place for quality ballet education in north Austin. I have seen quite the positive difference in my child since I signed her up about a year ago. Her behavior at home and school has improved, she is much more aware of her surroundings and has gained confidence in herself. Highly recommend to any parent.

I never thought I would ever try yoga, but on my last trip to Austin, my wife encouraged me to try it, and I must say, it was very invigorating. I enjoyed it very much! I would definitely try it again, next time Im in the area. I think that its a very helpful thing to do for someone over 60, because as we age, we tend to loose flexibility.Im glad that I tried it at Danza, as everyone there was very friendly, and made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely go back.

DANZA offers a variety of fantastic dance classes for adults and children, including evening classes. Ada, the ballet instructor, and her team are always warm and welcoming and supportive of all students. Ada truly cares about her students and works with each one to help them succeed. Prices are reasonable and classes are high quality.

I truly can not say enough good things about this studio! The classes are fantastic and the teacher (Ada Marquez) is amazing! Danza offers great classes for both children and adults and is definitely worth checking out!

I just finished a six week beginner ballet workshop with Danza and immediately signed up for the next session! Its perfect for my childhood ballet class nostalgia and a great overall workout (so many tiny muscles to think about)! Our class was a blend of true beginners and its been so long Im basically a beginner but no one was left behind or singled out. Ada does a great job of giving little corrections and things that everyone in the class can work on to improve while still keeping the class fun and lighthearted.

Im so happy I found this place! Ive been wanting to sign up for adult ballet classes for a long time. I tried a class at another studio in Austin and didnt get a good vibe from the other students or the instructor. After searching far and wide, I came across Danza! I called the studio and talked to Gabby, the studio manager. She was excited to hear that I was interested in learning ballet as an adult and shared a ton of info with me about all the adult classes the studio offers. After taking my first class, I was hooked! I signed up for both the adult ballet and ballet sculpt classes. Ada, the instructor, is amazing! Her passion for ballet (and dance) shows! She really takes the time to make sure every single student in the class has the proper form. And she works with you until you get it right. I cant wait to continue my dance journey at Danza!

Well-run studio with an engaging owner who strives to expose the Northwest Austin community to diverse styles of dance. Friendly atmosphere. I took a great Kizomba intro class . Also, the weekly yoga classes run by Jeremy are challenging yet not too intimidating for those just starting out their practice.

I LOVE Danza! Ive been in the adult ballet class for about a year now and it has been such a wonderful experience! Ada is a great teacher and continues to make me feel comfortable and confident for never having been in a dance class.

Danza Center for the Arts offers not only excellent ballet instruction but a positive environment for children to learn and grow. What Ms. Marquez has been able to achieve in such a short time is remarkable. She constantly strives to provide unique opportunities for her dancers of all ages. My child thoroughly enjoys her regular classes as well as the Summer Intensive/camps offered here. If you are looking for exceptional ballet training in a positive environment, Danza is for you.

Did a private lesson with them on jumps and leaps. It was an absolute lifesaver. This place is great!

Great place, highly recommend!

At 47 years old I have never take an dance class in my life. I always wanted to try Ballet and when I contacted Danza regarding their adult beginners class they were so welcoming!Ada is a beautiful and talented instructor; patient and encouraging but also fun and kind. I feel so fortunate to be learning ballet from her.If youre like me and youve never taken a class or you have been dancing for years, Danza is fabulous studio.

I came to Danza for the pre Grand Opening early January and have been going ever since they have opened for weekly Yoga. To be completely honest I was never big into yoga nor did I care for it. I was refereed to the grand opening from a friend. To be honest I never tried yoga because I was always worried I would being judged due to not being very flexible. My expectations had been blown out of the water. The atmosphere was very chill, everyone was extremely friendly, and by the end of it I was stuck in a relaxing mood.Jeremy, the yoga instructor does a wonderful job explaining each pose and its benefits. My favorite part of his classes are the metaphors for each pose and the relaxing music in the background. He truly does a superb job. The first few classes I was a bit nervous but the poses I practiced in class were simple and yet I still felt like I was getting a good work out. After just a few weeks I noticed I am more flexible and i have a bit more energy. The class is every Friday and as a car Salesman its the perfect way to ending a stressful week. I have been going every week ever since my first experience and I will continue going.

The instructors really understand the teaching process as well as the learning process, making it fun for all involved. Everything from Salsa to Ballet. Even Yoga! Plus, the staff members are friendly and welcoming.

I never imagined I would join a ballet class! I absolutely loved the Adult Beginner Barre Class and have noticed an improvement in posture, strength, and flexibility. This is coming from a lover of running, weight-lifting, and plyometric-style workouts! I keep coming back for more classes including the body sculpting class- Amazing!

I have had an amazing experience at Danza. After a hiatus from dance, I wanted to return to ballet. I took the Advanced Beginner Ballet class and highly recommend it. It was the perfect way to get back into dance! The instructors at Danza are very knowledgeable about their style and are able to teach in a manner that is efficient, very helpful, and not intimidating. The environment is very welcoming and positive. If you are looking for a place to dance, whether you are brand new to dance or coming back after a break, you should come to Danza!

Lets face it: men, especially military guys like me, normally dont start taking ballet as adults. I never thought ballet would help me physically, but now that Ive taken classes for 7 months I can definitively say that its absolutely helped me get stronger, faster and more flexible. Its helped improved my jiu jitsu too, so thats what brings me back for more. My classmates are all adults who have their own reasons for taking ballet, and the mix makes it so much fun. Everyone has an awesome time. The studio is bright, clean and welcoming. Ada, the owner and the primary instructor for ballet, laser focuses on proper technique, which is good. Gabby keeps things running smoothly as the manager, and Emilia manages the front desk. These are the welcoming faces I see every time I walk in. Danza offers so much more than ballet, and when my schedule allows I make time for the myriad of other classes they have. I would definitely recommend this studio.

So happy that this place was my very first yoga class experience. Its inspired me to actually want to be more active.Everyone was so friendly..will be going on a weekly basis.

We cant say enough great things about Danza Center! Our daughters have been taking ballet classes at Danza since October 2016 and they really LOVE IT. We have seen them grow as dancers - their movements, postures, expressions, discipline. Overall they always have fun and they leave the class happy... as parents, that means the world. All the staff is very friendly, helpful, and professional... especially Gaby who is very kind and always welcome us with a beautiful smile. Ms. Marquez has an excellent tact with the children, she pays attention to detail, and encourages her students to do their best every class - you can tell that ballet is her passion. Another thing that we like is that sometimes she schedules one on one meetings with parents to talk about the progress of the kids, and allow us to see a regular class. We are very fortunate to have found a school with a big HEART and we cant wait for our little one to reach 3 years so she can start classes! We highly recommend Danza Center!

I signed up for the belly dance class here and its so much fun! I am so glad they have adult classes.

Danza Center for the Arts is the perfect space to begin and/or continue your dance journey. With a staff that values world culture with its varying styles of dance, you cannot find a more unique dance institute that will introduce and guide you through all the moves! I find Danza to be a beautiful and inspiring space that encourages the dancer in me to keep loving dance!

My daughter participated in the summer ballet camp at Danza and felt included, comfortable, learned more about technique and even nutrition! I’m very impressed with the way this studio is run and with the many creative programs it has for children in the community. My daughter has told me to make sure to take her to dance even when she says she doesn’t want to go because she comes out of ballet feeling refreshed and happy, we are very pleased with the instructors, thanks so much Danza!

I have been taking a ballet barre class for the past couple of months at DANZA. I am honestly amazed and feel so grateful that I found Adas DANZA center! I am so stoked-seriously! :) I have taken other adult ballet classes but have never found someone so passionate, kind, interactive, and involved as Ada. She is so passionate about what she does and is so passionate on teaching kids, teenagers, and adults. Ive had trouble finding a good teacher for adult ballet as most dance instructors only teach kids. And those who do teach ballet to adults dont really take it to seriously or are too advanced and you just have to play catch up and figure it out-and not to mention the amount of money they charge for those workshops. If youre wanting to be a part of this dance community, be ready to learn, work hard, but most important of all have fun! She loves to teach beginners-and I love that!!! She really wants you to get it, get the foundation, and enjoy it just as much as she has majority of her life. Ada is very kind and is teaching us about the discipline in dance and ballet. If you dont want to take a class that has some discipline then you might want to mention that to the dance instructor because she goes above and beyond to teach you with a very kind heart. So dont be afraid if youre a beginner, before you know it, youll be looking like a pro ;) Im also super interested in taking their Bollywood class which I have no doubt is just as good! Best of luck!

LOVE LOVE LOVE doing yoga here! Jeremy is amazing and I feel amazing after his class! I highly recommend Danza for yoga!

Danza is the most vibrant dance studio I have been to. I have been to several studios before, but Danza has the space energized with the spirit and cleanliness and the apt atmosphere for exploring dance. I am very lucky that the dance troupe which I am into chose Danza for our practices. Also I am very fortunate to get my passion accomplishing as Danza is organizing cultural and classical dance from various part of the world. I am from India and feel very blessed to have Bharatanatyam classes organized by Danza and the teacher there is amazing. Thank you very much Danza and wish many could make use of the space!!

Very happy with my daughters ballet classes and with the Adult classes I attend, excellent attention and very attentive .... I highly recommend this place!
