From the reviews

This is my 3rd year teaching at In-Step and I couldn't be more pleased. Many studios I have been to are snobby and pretentious. This studio has both down to earth students, and staff. I go to work everyday so thrilled to be able to share my joy and passion for dance with my students.

Talented and Professional. In Step dance is the place to learn to dance and gain an appreciation of the arts. They have an amazing staff! They really took the time to get to know my little dancers and work with them technically while still having fun. I love all the community involvement this studio participates in.

Your first ballet class at In-Step Dance Center

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.
