why choose A Step above?

We provide technical dance training in a positive and safe learning environment. Our classes are age-appropriate and engaging with a wide range of options across all styles. Dance is about more than learning how to move with music. Dance has the ability to boost confidence, independence and create life-long friendships regardless of age!

  • positive Feedback

    We believe this is the best way to develop students and aid in their progression. By fostering an environment that emphasizes positive reinforcement, we can help each student reach their full potential.

  • ALL music is screened

    Our instructors screen the music they use in class for explicit lyrics and adult content. By selecting tracks that are both energizing and family-friendly, our instructors set the tone for a fun and engaging experience for everyone.

  • age appropriate attire

    We believe your student's attire (dress code & recital costumes) shouldn’t be racy or provocative. By adhering to these guidelines, all participants can enjoy and focus on their performances.

  • open classes

    Our classes are for all children of any skill, experience, or ability. We desire to provide a fun and challenging experience in all our classes across all dance styles and genres.
