Would definitely recommend Steps! My daughter loves going there! Performances they put together are incredible! And the fact that a dance class is included in the aftercare cost - can’t beat that.

Steps helped my daughter's school throw a virtual dance party. They did an amazing job! They taught dances, played games, and had a fantastic dance party. We really appreciate that they took the time to help get all of our students together to have fun. Thank you so much! ❤

We loved the class, but went to a gymnastics. It is more one on one so she can develop her skills, we may come back one day.

My daughter has been going for about 3 years! The teachers are more like extended family! They care about the kids and the programs so much. If you are looking for a Dance Studio or AfterSchool Care, look no further, they are the Best in the Area!
