About Us

Kinderdance ®

Kinderdance® is the original worldwide dance, motor development, gymnastics and fitness program that combines academic readiness skills which are specifically designed for children. What makes Kinderdance® unique is that all of our programs incorporate educational concepts in a developmentally designed curriculum that teaches to the total child. We place special emphasis on building “Self Confidence” and “Self-Esteem” in young children.

A happy child is a Joy to Behold! Anyone who has ever watched a child jump for joy when a parent comes home knows intuitively that small children express their feelings with MOVEMENT as well as words. Movement, music and DANCE can be natural tools for learning. Influential child psychologists and educators like Piaget and Montessori agree that a planned developmental program in MOVEMENT should be part of every child’s education. Since early childhood education is the foundation for higher education, how a child “learns to learn” will have a lasting influence throughout his or her school years. Kinderdance, where children “learn how to learn” when they learn how to DANCE and MOVE!

We bring our programs to children at different Austin, TX area pre-schools, child care centers and private schools! We teach our classes to children at the center so no need to have to drive them to a separate class or studio!

Testimonials

Parents are talking!…

My daughter Maru - a spunky little 3 year old - has taken dance and gymnastics at her school via Kinderdance.

Whenever I asked how she was enjoying her class, she always replied with great enthusiasm. However, the day she and my mom began to discuss ballet verbage in my kitchen, I was amazed. She knew so much terminology – arabesque and glissade – and all of the positions. I was very surprised and consequently impressed! She decided to try out gymnastics this summer and has just loved it. Maru and I are very happy with her experience with Kinderdance.

My daughter has been taking dance with Ms. Wendy for the past year.

I decided to enroll her after attending a friend’s Kinderdance recital with Ms. Wendy where I was amazed to see 3 and 4 year olds perform together with choreography. I have been to many a dance recital where this age doesn’t do much at all but stand there looking cute so I was very impressed! Ms. Wendy is very fun and energetic with the kids and makes learning dance moves fun. My shy child has really come out of her shell and now dances around the house daily and even in public will climb up on stage! Additionally, Ms. Wendy is very communicative and organized and a joy to work with! I highly recommend Kinderdance!

Our daughter loves being in dance and gym.

She’s been in the class for two years now. She looks forward to it and has learned so much about movement. The recital Ms. Wendy puts on yearly is such a great treat for her and us as parents! Our daughter lights up at the mention of the recital.  The teachers are great and they come to the school during school hours, so there are no extra trips outside of school or on weekends. I can’t wait to put my other daughters in Kinderdance too!

My daughter has learned so much...

My daughter has learned so much in such a short time! She can’t wait for Monday’s when her dance class is! She is always dancing and singing her new moves she learned that week! We love all you do! Thank you!

I am the Director at Prodigy Child Development Center...

I am the Director at Prodigy Child Development Center where Kinderdance and Kindergym classes are held. My daughter who also attends the school has attended Ms. Wendy’s gymnastics class for about a year now. She comes home after class and proudly shows our family the new skills she learned at class. She has a baby sister and sometimes it is hard for her to see us giving the baby so much special attention. I think gymnastics has given her an opportunity to develop skills that the baby cannot do that are very impressive and confidence building.

happy mom & child care center director

Both of my kids really enjoyed being a part of Kinderdance and Kindergym!

My daughter can be pretty shy at times, especially around new people or in front of a bunch of people, but she really loved being in dance. She literally asks every day if she’s going to dance and then she shows me all of her moves at home. It’s pretty cute and I can’t thank you enough for teaching her and fostering her love of dance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register and what happens if school closes due to inclement weather?

You may register through our website and click where it says register. You create an account through Class Juggler, choose which class you want, add it to your shopping cart and then check out. After that, we will handle the rest and will invoice you for your first month once your registration goes through.

No makeup classes or refunds will be given in the case of school closings due to inclement weather.

When is tuition due and do you hold make up classes?

Tuition is due on the 1st of every month. If you are not able to pay by that time, please let me know ahead of time and we will be more than happy to work something out with you. We send out an invoice on the 1st of each month and tuition may be paid then for that month. If your tuition for the month is not received by the 10th of that month, a $10.00 late fee will be added to your account.

We do not offer make up classes for a child who misses class since we do not hold classes at recreation centers where anyone can come to attend. We hold classes only at schools where only children enrolled at that particular school may participate in those classes. If your child misses their class due to any reason, tuition will not be refunded for that day. If an instructor misses a class for any reason, a makeup class will be held for all of the students in the class.

How do I pay for tuition?

Tuition may be paid online through our website. You may enter your parent account with classjuggler monthly to make payments. There is no extra charge to you for this service. You may also pay through Venmo or PayPal, please contact Ms. Wendy for more details.

When do classes begin?

Every school schedule may differ during the year. For most schools, we start in September and go through the Spring before our annual year end demonstration. Students may enroll at any time during the school year. During the Summer some schools are closed and some do not meet. Information will be given prior as to Summer sign up instruction for those schools continuing during the Summer.

Do we have access to the teachers?

We love parents and families and love for them to be involved! If you wish to speak with your child’s teacher at any time, please contact Ms. Wendy ([email protected] or 512-669-9919) to arrange a time to meet/speak. We welcome you to drop in on your child’s class, however it is best if you try to not let them know you are there and can watch without them seeing you!

Can I cancel?

You may start or stop classes at any time. If you do wish stop at any time, we do ask that you let us know 30 days before stopping classes. If we do not receive notice that your child will be stopping, they will be continued to be picked up for classes. We will not know you wish for them to discontinue if you do not notify us.

What materials does my child need for class and what should they wear?

No special clothes are required to purchase to attend class. However, a Kinderdance dress or t shirt are both available to purchase to wear to school on their class day. We also have a t shirt available to purchase for Kindergym. They may wear these items to school on their class day with leggings or shorts. Otherwise, they may wear anything that is comfortable to move in to class! These items may be purchased when you register online, you will see the option where you may purchase them upon registration.

Kinderdance students may bring ballet shoes to class. These are shoes are recommended for maximum comfort in class! Please label all of your child’s shoes with their name.

Do you have a recital?

We hold an annual year end demonstration in which all of our students will participate if they wish to. This usually takes place in May. This demonstration will take place at a venue such as an elementary school. More details will be sent home to families prior to this performance opportunity. This performance is optional, not mandatory. 🙂 Our year end demonstration is a low stress event geared toward letting children build their self confidence and having fun!
