About River Dance
River Dance is a residential section within Steiner Ranch, a 4,600-acre master-planned community in northwest Austin (zip code 78732) situated on a ridge between Lake Austin and Lake Travis in Travis County. Steiner Ranch was originally developed starting in the late 1980s by Al Hughes, who purchased the land from the Steiner family. The project was subsequently managed by Taylor Woodrow, then Taylor Wimpey, and is now under Taylor Morrison. The community contains approximately 5,867 households across more than 35 neighborhoods and is a census-designated place.
Homes in River Dance were built from approximately 2007 through 2013, averaging approximately 3,736 square feet with four to five bedrooms and three to five bathrooms. The section is not gated — Steiner Ranch's gated neighborhoods include The Bluffs, Sierra Vista, Canyon Gate, Canyon Villas, Savannah Point, Granite Bay, Eagles Glen, and several others. All Steiner Ranch residents belong to the Steiner Ranch Master Association (SRMA), with annual dues of approximately $1,097 paid semi-annually ($548.61 due January 1 and July 1).
Steiner Ranch is accessed via Ranch Road 620, with two connection points: Quinlan Park Road (the main 5-mile internal spine, with a traffic signal at RR 620) and Steiner Ranch Boulevard.

The community sits between Lake Austin to the south and west and Lake Travis to the north, sometimes described as "the land between the lakes."
