Austin Uptown Dance Studio

"We are over the moon about the dance lessons we got for our wedding! Hilary Carlson is just amazing. Her energy and excitement made every session a blast. With her help, we felt like pros on the dance floor. We went for ten sessions, and they flew by because we were having such a great time. It was such a fun way to shake up our usual routine and have something to look forward to each week. We absolutely recommend Hilary to anyone who wants to jazz up their dance moves for a special event!"

"My wife and I wanted to do a wedding dance and heard amazing things about Austin Uptown Dance Studio so we decided to sign up here for a choreographed dance. Our dance instructor was Hilary and she was absolutely amazing! She choreographed our wonderful dance and edited the music as well. She is such a lovely person and always welcomes your feedback if you want certain moves in your dance or if you want something different. We are not dancers, but she was patient with us and taught us well. Hilary and the staff is so kind and helpful. We liked it so much we are wanting to come back for the group lessons they offer. I highly recommend this place!"

"We worked with Hilary leading up to our wedding to improve our dancing and learn some new moves for our first dance! We had so much fun working with Hilary that it ended up being our favorite date night leading up to the wedding. We even came in for Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dance lessons before the wedding, too. She was so encouraging and supportive throughout the whole process. We had so much fun and felt so comfortable dancing at our wedding. We highly recommend Hilary and the Uptown Dance team!!"

"When it comes to a wedding there are so many moments that are important, and also come with a certain amount of pressure...The first dance is one of those! It is a magical moment between you and your partner, but it can also be VERY scary if you're like me and have no dance experience and find being in front of people daunting. Now to the important part...The team at Austin Uptown Dance Studio could not be better equipt to help you create a memory of a lifetime! From the moment our instructor Hillary skipped across the dance floor to us, I was instantly put at ease. Not only is Hillary one of the loveliest people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting, but her ability to help two people, who have two left feet, create something beautiful is unparalleled! She was so kind every step of the way and our wedding day would not have been the same without the beautiful moment she helped us create with our dance. While we went for our first dance, we will be back for future lessons just for fun! You cannot go wrong with choosing Austin Uptown Dance Studio, whether it's for a wedding, or just learning to dance in general."

"My husband and I took lessons here with Hilary for our first dance. We got the 10-lesson package with choreography, and it was worth every penny! We told her we wanted the dance to be dramatic, and I said, "I don't want a smoke machine, but I want a smoke machine to feel appropriate," and she loved it and made us a choreography that encapsulated the vibe of our wedding perfectly! Neither of us had ever danced before, and Hilary made the prospect much less intimidating and very approachable. We had a few dramatic lifts/ spins in our dance, and with her teaching us, we pulled everything off perfectly on the day! Committing to learning and practicing the personalized choreography with Austin Uptown Dance elevated our wedding experience and made us feel like pros! I definitely recommend them if you are looking to plan your first dance."
