From the reviews
A beautiful dance studio with so much to offer! I actually commented several times on how impressed I was with Step 1. There are several spacious studios with beautiful floors and great sound systems.
I went to my first dance class in yearrrrrs there tonight and it was awesome! The ladies there made me feel right at home, and totally accommodated to my pace. I will definitely be back. It's a beautiful facility and from what I've already seen extremely reasonably priced.
Love all the class choice's here. My favorite of course is Dancehall DHPU! Thursday nights are the best!
Yes they are open again! There is a good safety policy in place to protect the 6 foot social distance. Same great classes and upbeat, talented instructors. Whether you are a beginner or a pro there is a class for you here at Step 1. Many different dance formats and both online and in person classes.
Adult ballet at Step 1 Dance & Fitness
Step 1 Dance & Fitness runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Step 1 Dance & Fitness
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.
