From the reviews
My daughter has been at Next Step for three years and she loves it! She started off with recreational classes and worked her way up to performance team and then company.
Next Step is the best dance studio in the East Bay! My two girls are in the company and have grown so much these past couple of years. They have learned jazz, lyrical, hip hop, tap and ballet. They have also enjoyed performing at local events and participated in competitions at dance conventions.
I started dancing at the Next Step when I was a toddler and went on to be a member of the company teams for 9 years, all the way through my senior year of high school. Words cannot even express how beyond grateful I am for my time as a dancer at NSDS, it was truly one of the most formative experiences of my upbringing.
I danced at The Next Step from when I was a toddler until high school. It is the best place for children of all ages to learn and grow, not only as a dancer but also as a well rounded person. I will always recommend here for any family member or friend to have their children join here.
Your first ballet class at The Next Step 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.
