TESTIMONIALS FROM PARENTS & STUDENTS
What our dance family is saying
"encouraged"
Everyone is wonderful to work with. My child has fun while learning. She gets very excited to go to class. As an adult taking class again after several years, I felt welcomed, encouraged, and worked with at my level. We really enjoy being with The Next Step Dance Studio

"DELIGHTED"
My daughter had her first class in Bitty Ballerinas last night with Miss Samantha. SHE LOVED IT!!!!! She is simply delighted with the class. I was so happy to see her having a ton of fun and learning dance fundamentals. Thank you!!!

"communication"
Our former studio had zero communication so it’s nice to know exactly what to expect from schedules to fees. Quincy has grown so much in the last 2 years. She has learned more these 2 years then 5 years at her previous studio. She loves Next Step and her Studio 4 teammates are her real friends. Looking forward to a great season and grateful for Studio 4. Thanks for all you do.
