The front desk lady is so nice and understanding when trying to find the right class for my adhd 5 year old daughter I appreciate her patience. I learned that the beginner class was too advanced for my daughter but the Combo Ballet/Tap class for 4/5 year old works perfect, small amount of students and the teacher is patience and makes the class fun. I’m happy with this class, this dance school is affordable too. We tried the tumbling class but my daughter is getting quite distracted so I might do private lessons until she’s more confident and comfortable. I love that they give us options like this to work with since all kids learn differently. ;)

The owner of Step Up is an amazing lady and keeps the parents informed of everything all the time. We know about the recital dates and times the year before and the planning starts a year before the next recital. She keeps the parents informed of every detail via emails and flyers in the studio. She is so organized and will answer any and all questions with an answer because she wants all parents to be satisfied with her dance studio. When I had concerns for my daughter, Christine addressed them professionally and in a timely manner. As a mother and grandmother, Christine understands that parents have concerns and makes the effort to address and resolve them. My daughter has practiced dance in three other studios, but this is the only one where I felt validated and respected as a single mom with a daughter who loves to dance. This past June was my daughter’s first recital with Step Up and she had the best time on stage and performing for the audience. I was truly amazed by the performances as was my family and friends from out of town. Christine also went above and beyond with a dedication that I purchased for my daughter in the recital program. She made the program extra special and I will never forget her generosity. My daughter loves her ballet and tap teachers and one of them we have followed from two other dance studios. My daughter is already looking forward to next year’s recital because she loves being onstage with her peers. Step Up dance studio is a wonderful place for a child to learn the foundations of dance and that is important for any child. If I could give this studio ten stars or more I would, because I believe that my daughter will be happy to keep dancing at Step Up for many years to come.

Where do I start!! My kids joined their dance family about a year ago, and we couldn’t be happier! I have watched my daughter flourish and become quit the little fireball... and I’ve watched my son come out of his shell. Christina and Christine are a great combo together. They are very fun people to be around, and great role models to have my children look up to! So if you are looking for an awesomely talented studio with values and where family is a priority... this is it! We love our Step Up family and couldn’t imagine it any other way !!!!

We have been at Step Up for a little over a year. The progress my daughter has made in this short time has been phenomenal. We were at a previous studio for 3 years and could tell the difference within the first few classes. The dance instructors are all wonderful people and true professionals. The owners Christine and Christina are extremely involved and totally care about their staff and students. They are extremely approachable and have always responded to any of my questions right away. They are equally dedicated with the recreational dancers and the competition dancers. This is something you don't experience everywhere. They really foster a family style environment and we couldn't imagine being anywhere else. My daughter is now on a competition team and having the time of her life. She feels 100% at home there and her love for dance continues to grow. I highly recommend Step Up!!

My daughter started dancing at age 5 and at age 8 started at Step Up Academy. We had tried a couple of other studios prior. What made us really happy with this one was the age appropriate dances and costumes along with actual technique taught to even the mini's. My daughter is now 17. We moved across town a couple years ago and tried another newer studio close to our new home for a year. The other studio had a very nice owner but just didn't have a program advanced enough for the older girls. So we now drive across town in some pretty ugly traffic 4 days a week because it really is the best studio in town. The teachers are all top professionals in their field and it shows in the dancers they turn out. The Mother/daughter owner team are very straight forward and don't allow drama to infect the family atmosphere. Spend a little time there and you too will feel like you have been adopted into this close knit Italian family. I know I can count on so many of the families there if my daughter or my family ever needed anything.
