From the reviews
The staff at Step x Step has been exceptional! Over the past three years and 10 classes between both our daughters, we’ve truly loved every instructor. The costumes are always tasteful, the choreography is consistently age-appropriate in a world that tends to push kids to grow up too quickly, and—most importantly—our…
My daughter has been dancing w SBSD since she was 2 yo! The staff is professional, knowledgeable, & friendly! The kids just love the teachers like family! The studio is safe & clean, & the pricing is competitive! Overall, we have been very happy with the SBSD team and hope to stay with them for many years to come!
Step by Step isn’t just a dance studio…it’s a home away from home. My girls have been dancing there for the past 6 years and I can’t imagine being anywhere else. Watching them grow in their dance over the years alongside the most amazing and loving staff is more than I could ever hope for. We love SBSD!
My daughter had her first experience with dance at this studio. She had an excellent teacher, Brionny, who made it light hearted and fun. My daughter has been most excited about the recital which is optional. We have nothing but good things to say about our time at Step by Step.
Your first ballet class at Step By Step Dance
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.
