Celebrating 27 Years In The Dance Business!

About Us

All That Jazz Academy of Dance, formerly known as Toornburg School of Dance, was established in 1993. When Connie and Cindy Toornburg decided to retire, Regina Lednicky Nix purchased the studio after having been their student for seventeen years (as well as teaching for eight).

ATJ offers a high-quality, extensive dance education from ages 2-adult in a wide variety of styles, including: Classical Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern, Lyrical, Contemporary, Pointe, Musical Theatre, and Hip Hop. We perform at many local events throughout the year, as well as taking our award-winning Company dancers to competitions every spring. We also offer Zumba & Aerobics (during summer sessions), as well as Pilates.

ATJ educates dancers from all parts of the Greater Waco area, and is conveniently located close to I-35 in Hewitt. We are budget-friendly and hold classes from Monday to Thursday of each week.
