About On Pointe Studio & Events
On Pointe Studio was started to bring traditional dance, folk, and classical ballet instruction to Rural Central Texas-completely by accident!
Nina Gorman-Owner and Artistic Director- and her family is survivors of 2017's disaster-Hurricane Harvey. Having suffered extensive damage to their home by flooding in Houston, they came to their family's 3rd generation ranch in the Freyburg area to avoid the invariable clean-up from the disaster- temporarily. What was temporary in 2017 has become permanent- and they are proud to call Fayette County their home.
When they arrived, word quickly spread about Nina's background as a Russian ballerina, and she and her husband were approached by several members of the local community to consider opening a quality ballet and dance studio for the children of the area. The region was underserved in dance education, and so they decided to take the risk and start On Pointe Studio. From that first idea, we have grown substantially and now offer our students amazing performance opportunities with the surrounding communities, a stunning yearly recital, and a sense of belonging to something greater than themselves.
As On Pointe looks forward to the future, we are so grateful to the parents of our Studio for their support and encouragement. We are proud to bring formal high-level classical ballet and dance training to the area and are honored to be a part of your family.
