Our take

North Texas Dance Arts makes a deliberate choice: it's non-competitive. There's no travel team and no competition circuit — the focus is technique and a love of dance rather than trophies. For a family that wants their kid to actually learn ballet and grow as a dancer but has no interest in the competition grind, that's the whole pitch.

Don't mistake non-competitive for casual, though. Ballet comes first here, and Level 1–3 dancers are required to take ballet twice a week — across a full menu of classical ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, contemporary, and hip-hop, age-leveled from toddlers (18 months) up through adults. It runs as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and the tuition model is refreshingly simple: one all-inclusive monthly rate with, in its words, "no surprises." If you're chasing trophies and a competition résumé, this isn't the studio; if you want strong training in a lower-pressure environment, it fits well. There's a free trial class to test it, plus themed birthday parties and school-break camps.

Local Tips

North Texas Dance Arts is on the second floor of the 280 Commerce building — the "280 Sports" complex, just south of the QT gas station at the corner of Southlake Boulevard and Commerce Street. The entrance to know: come in through the main entrance near "Sharky's Cuts for Kids," and the studio is upstairs. A couple of practical notes:

  • The ballet-twice-a-week requirement for Level 1–3 dancers is a real commitment, so plan the weekly schedule around it.
  • Tuition is one all-inclusive monthly figure rather than a base rate plus add-ons.
  • Registration runs through the studio's online portal.

It also runs themed birthday parties on Saturday afternoons.

Credentials

North Texas Dance Arts is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dance studio, founded in 2021 by co-directors Emily Hunter and Rachel Wade according to its student and adult handbooks, with an award-winning faculty. As a nonprofit, it is structured around its dance-education mission rather than individual ownership; instruction spans classical ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, contemporary, and hip-hop across an age-leveled, non-competitive curriculum, with a stated requirement that Level 1–3 dancers train in ballet at least twice a week.
