From the reviews

I couldn’t be happier that Step Up Academy purchased the Warm Springs location. The new owners Christina/Christine are so welcoming and really know how to run a top notch dance academy!! My daughter is 3 years old and loves to dance. She just had her first recital this weekend and loved every single minute of it!

This studio is amazing!! This is my second family and I love coming to dance. All the teachers are amazing and so nice. The studio owners, ms Christina and ms Christine, are the best ever. They work so hard everyday. They are always so welcoming and caring for everyone. This studio is the best in town.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Jul 2018

My daughter is beginning her fourth year competing with Step Up a Academy. She spent five years competing with another studio in town, and I wish we would have started at Step Up! She has incredible teachers from whom she has gained an excellent education in all varieties of technique.

Your first ballet class at Step Up Dance Academy

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.
