From the reviews
We love everything about A Step Above Dance. My daughter has been going there for 11 years. The studio is very organized and has wonderful teachers. Not only has my daughter made friends with other dancers but I too have made friends with dance mom's.
Miss Tami runs an incredible dance studio! As a fellow dance studio owner, I admire her talent and passion for her work and her students. She is so organized and runs a top-notch establishment!

Both of my daughters have been dancing here since they were 2! Now they are almost 11 and 7! We love it! They love having the ability to try different styles of dance and look forward to their big recital every year! Their teachers continue to help them achieve their goals and reach their fullest potential!
Your first ballet class at A Step Above Dance & Music Academy
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
