The Next Step Dance Studio Classes

We have all styles of dance instruction for all ages.

Jazz

Combines the arts of ballet and modern dance trends to create a free style technique of movement, unlimited in expression. Classes include a 20 minute warm-up, then across-the-floor movement with jazz technique, and culminate with a combination (choreographed routine).

Ballet

Classical ballet technique that builds grace, poise, and strength while developing correct body placement. Each class starts with approximately one-half hour at barre, then center work and across-the-floor movement. For elementary school age and up. While age is a consideration, a student's level of skill is more important for class placement than the student's age.

Funk Jazz

A combination of jazz and hip-hop to create a fun and energetic class.

Hip-Hop

Funky, "MTV," popular "street" styles of dance, with Jazz Technique.

Tutu's & Tap
