Meet Daielma Decker. 🩰
Some teachers have danced. Ms. Decker has lived an entire life in dance, and our students get to learn from all of it.
She began training in her native Brazil and was performing principal roles by age 14. From there: principal roles with companies across Brazil including Ballet Stagium, Cisne Negro and Opera Paulista, a scholarship to study the Russian method in the United States, and years touring the world with the Fred Garbo Inflatable Theater Company, from the Kennedy Center to festivals across Europe, Canada and Asia. She has danced as a principal dancer with the Portland Ballet and served as resident choreographer, and taught for The Joffrey Ballet's Trainee and Studio Company programs.
But here is what we love most. Alongside all of that, Ms. Decker holds a degree in Psychology and a graduate degree in Child Psychology. She understands not just how to teach a step, but how a child learns, grows and gains confidence.
That combination, world class artistry paired with a real understanding of young minds, is exactly what we want shaping our dancers. 🤍

Some dancers reach a point where they want more. This is where they go. ✨

Our Academy Division is for students who have earned their placement through hard work, determination and discipline. It is the level where technique deepens, expectations rise, and dancers start training with real intention.

This is not about competition trophies. Our focus stays on strong classical technique, artistry and self discipline, the foundation that carries a dancer as far as they want to go.

If your dancer is thriving and hungry for the next challenge, let's talk about whether Academy is the right fit. Call us at (512) 894 2147 or reach out through the link in our bio.

The music is playing and Nutcracker season is officially here. 🎄🩰

Auditions are behind us, casting is set, and our dancers are stepping into their roles for this year's production. There is nothing quite like watching the story come together from the very first rehearsal.

To every dancer who auditioned: you are part of this production, and we cannot wait to see what you bring to the stage this year.

Families, keep an eye on this page over the coming weeks. We will be sharing rehearsal moments, costume peeks, and everything you need to know about performance dates as we get closer. 🤎

A few weeks in and the studio is alive. 🩰

The barres are full, the little ones have found their spots on the floor, and our older dancers are already deep into fall technique. It is one of our favorite times of year.

Here is the good news for anyone still on the fence: it is not too late. We welcome new students throughout the fall, and our free trial week lets your dancer try a class before you commit to anything.

We accept students with or without previous training, and our class sizes stay small so every dancer gets real attention.

Ever had your dancer come home talking about their tendus and just… nodded along? 😅

Here's your cheat sheet:

🩰 Plié (plee-AY) — "to bend." The first thing in every class and the foundation of every jump.
🩰 Tendu (tahn-DEW) — "to stretch." Pointing the foot along the floor. Sounds simple, takes years.
🩰 Relevé (ruh-luh-VAY) — "to rise." Lifting onto the balls of the feet.
🩰 Chassé (sha-SAY) — "to chase." One foot chases the other — this is the one they'll do down your hallway. 🏃‍♀️
🩰 Port de bras — "carriage of the arms." Why dancers' arms look like that.
🩰 Reverence — the bow at the end of class, a thank-you to the teacher and the accompanist. It's our favorite tradition.

Every one of these is French, and every one of them is over 300 years old. When your dancer learns them, they're joining a very long line of people who learned the exact same words.

Save this for the next dinner-table conversation. 🤍

And if your dancer hasn't started yet — our free trial week is open year-round. Link in bio.

This is where technique starts to click. ✨

Our Primary Division is for dancers ready to move past the basics into structured, progressive training — the level where you start to see real growth month over month.

Primary 1 Ballet — building proper alignment, positions and barre work
Primary 2 Ballet — expanding vocabulary and adding complexity to center work Primary 3 Ballet — refining technique and preparing for Academy-level training Primary Tap & Jazz Combo — two styles, one class, and a whole lot of rhythm 🎶

Our training is focused on good technique and self-discipline alongside a genuine love of dance — not on competition circuits. And with small class sizes, every dancer gets personalized correction and attention.

Not sure which level is right? Call us at (512) 894-2147 and we'll help you place your dancer. Free trial week available anytime.

Most parents come to us for dance. What surprises them is everything else. 🤍

1. Punctuality. Class starts when class starts. Dancers learn fast that being on time is a form of respect.

2. Receiving feedback. A correction isn't criticism — it's attention. Learning to hear "try that again" and actually try again is a life skill.

3. Persistence. Nobody nails a pirouette on the first try. Or the fiftieth. Dancers learn what it feels like to be bad at something on the way to being good at it.

4. Generosity. In a good studio, dancers celebrate each other. Someone else's progress isn't a threat.

5. Courage. Standing in front of a room and doing something hard — that confidence carries into classrooms, interviews and stages for the rest of their lives.

We work on courtesy, promptness, self-discipline, responsibility, diligence and generosity right alongside tendus and pliés. That's on purpose.

Middle and high school dance team members and theatre kids — this one's for you. 📣

Here's the thing nobody tells you: the dancers who stand out at drill team tryouts and musical auditions are almost always the ones with ballet training underneath everything else. Turnout, extension, control, musicality, the ability to pick up choreography fast — that all comes from technique class.

Tween/Teen Ballet — the foundation. Every style gets easier once you have it. Tap — rhythm, clarity, and a skill that shows up in almost every musical Jazz — the style your team routines are built on Contemporary — expression, floor work, and control

Beginners are genuinely welcome. You do not need years of training to start — you need a place that will meet you where you are and actually teach you.

Our training focuses on solid technique and self-discipline rather than competition circuits, which means you get the real thing.
