From the reviews

such a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere! we love it at In His Steps. I stated my daughter at the age of 3 and now we are going on our 3rd year at this dance studio. they place God at the center, keeping classes upbeat, fun and full of learning. my daughter has grown not only in her love for the lord but as a dancer.

11 years at IHS! We LOVE IHS! My daughter has grown so much in skill and maturity being at IHS. She considers the studio her dance family. The IHS team are professional, consistent, and kind. Highly recommend to anyone!

Your first ballet class at In His Steps Dance Studio

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
