A Positive First Dance Experience

For young children, the right first dance experience matters.

​

Our toddler and preschool dance classes introduce children to music and movement while helping them develop coordination, confidence, independence, listening skills and classroom readiness.

​

We believe little kids should be allowed to be little kids. Our curriculum is designed to challenge children appropriately without asking them to grow up too quickly.

​

Safe, Age-Appropriate Dance Education

Parents shouldn't have to choose between excellent dance training and an environment that reflects their family's values.

​

At A Step Above, we're intentional about the music, choreography, costuming and movement we use with our dancers.

​

Our highly trained, caring teachers focus on proper technique and safe progressions while creating a positive environment where dancers are encouraged to learn, make mistakes, work hard and grow.

​

Beginner Dance Classes Are Welcome

Has your child never danced before? That's okay!

​

Not every dancer starts at age 2.

​

We offer opportunities for beginners at a variety of ages and can help determine the best class based on your dancer's age, interests and previous experience.

​

Our goal is to give dancers an appropriate place to start and the tools they need to continue progressing with confidence.

​

Dance Lessons That Teach Life Lessons

We believe some of the most important things children learn in dance have nothing to do with steps.

​

Dance gives students opportunities to practice:

• Confidence

• Perseverance

• Responsibility

• Teamwork

• Goal setting

• Respect

• Accepting constructive feedback

• Working through challenges

​

Dancers learn that improvement doesn't always happen immediately. Sometimes you practice, struggle, make mistakes and try again.

​

And when you finally accomplish something that once felt impossible, you learn what you're capable of.
