From the reviews

My daughter has done Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Hip Hop at Steps in Motion. She loves it...She comes home with eagerness to show the new moves she's learned! Miss Abby has been kind and patient when teaching! You can tell the class is a success when everyone leaves in smiles!

STEPS is an extraordinary dance studio that we have been proud to be a part of for 10 years now. My daughter started dancing at nearly the same time she began walking and STEPS has been with her every step of the way.

★★★★★ — Mary, Jul 2014

This is my son's first year with Steps N Motion and he absolutely loves it. Ms. Abby is not only an awesome dance teacher, but also does an amazing job keeping control of all the boys. We are so glad we signed him up!! Can't wait for the recital!

★★★★★ — Alissa, Feb 2018

We're on year nine of dancing with Steps. They are constantly expanding their classes to teach new styles, the recital is top-notch, teachers are warm and loving, while still being technically sound and talented. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

Your first ballet class at Steps N Motion Dance Studio

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.
