At Next Step, our mission is to provide students with individual attention and learning opportunities, building self-esteem and confidence as they work on their dance skills. Our teachers appreciate the opportunity to share our love of dance with our students and believe that the dedication, work ethic, and discipline developed in the dance studio are important in all aspects of life.
My daughters (now 12 and 9) have been dancing at Next Step Dance Studio since the age of 3. The studio provides a unique experience for each of my very different dancers and delivers an education customized to their needs. My daughter is on her 9th-year at NSDS. She has grown into a wonderful young lady and the NSDS teachers have been apart of that.

My (3 year old) daughter started taking dance classes this September. We were both so warmly welcomed by the Next Step staff and I was impressed by all of the covid safety precautions they have in place! My daughter asks me every day if it's dance class day because she loves going to Next Step so much! Highly recommend!

My daughter is in her second year with Next Step. I was looking for something fun for her to do since she did not attend daycare or pre k. This was a perfect fit! She enjoys learning new dance moves and holiday theme dances. Due to covid most of her second half was virtual but the staff did an amazing job keeping her engaged. She is thrilled to be back in the studio this fall with all the friendly faces. Highly recommend!

Our daughter loves Next Step!
She has been going since the mommy and me class and is now in ballet and tap! This has truly helped her come out of her shell, be more comfortable and confident around kids and adults and follow instruction. She has found a passion for ballet and I love watching her light up when it’s class day!

We've been with Next Step for 7 years now, and always loved it. From toddler "Mommy & Me" classes to now having one child in Jr. Company (and another in jazz/tap/ballet) - the dance instruction has always been excellent and fun. It's clear the staff cares for the students, and has a high standard for the instruction, the studio environment and what they want each student to take away from class. Our kids are learning discipline, responsibility, confidence and teamwork, not just dance. Additionally, the studio has handled the Covid situation with care and grace and maintained strict procedures for

We went to a Sparkle Day sample class with story time in the summer, and my daughter instantly was interested in the classes. She loves the ballet/tap combo and I see her practicing her tap steps often. Staff is friendly and helpful whenever we have questions. With COVID, it is nice to see temps are taken at the door and my daughter wears her mask on her own, but also has enough room in a small class to be socially distant.

I have been dancing here since I was 4, I am 12 now and still being challenged, having fun and making new friends. The teachers are amazing and Ms.Amanda has pushed me to be all I can be and has encouraged me to keep "leveling up". They certainly make you feel like home.
