From the reviews
My daughter started at New Steps in September and we have had nothing but an incredible experience. The studio is welcoming and comfortable. The staff is experienced and excellent with the dancers. My daughter is so happy there and looks forward to going every week.
New Steps is a wonderful dance studio for girls and boys of all ages. Miss Janelle, Miss Sydney and staff do an amazing job encouraging, instructing and fostering a love for dance. Class vibe is always warm, supportive and inclusive. The studio is steeped in family and community.
My two daughters having been dancing at New Steps for over five years. The environment and culture of the studio is a supportive, fun and loving environment for any child who wants to pursue dance. Janelle and all the teachers at New Steps make dancing so exciting and enjoyable for my girls.
We love New steps Dance & Fitness Center. Our two daughters are in a class together and they have so much fun. The teachers are kind, caring and patient with them. Miss Janelle, the owner, is awesome and runs an EXCELLENT program.
Your first ballet class at New Steps Dance & Fitness 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.
