Over the course of 30 years STEPS became one of Pinellas County's most established and well-respected dance institutions. Under the Directorship of Maureen Gibson, many STEPS students went on to professional careers in the dance industry.
Thanks to STEPS, dance has touched the lives of countless members of the community. Many now are bringing their own children to dance at STEPS! One of Miss Maureen's students of many years was Lauren Ben Yaaqov. Lauren grew up studying dance at STEPS and went on to a successful career as a dancer in Richmond, Virginia, New York City and Israel.

Love Steps! My girls danced at another school for 2 years before coming to steps and often I had to argue with the girls to go to their classes. Since day one of Steps they’ve loved it! My youngest even attended Summer camp and now the after care program. All of the teachers are amazing and make their time fun while learning dance.

Great place with a staff that really cares and teachers that deliver excellent training for kids no matter their age. They put on a terrific performance and the office staff helps out with any issue. A great atmosphere with a better facility than any other dance school I checked out for my daughter. Top of the line operation. Highly recommended.
