A Step Above Performing Arts

"11 years ago my toddler waddled into the studio bc she wanted to dance. The owner openly welcomed her and let her try out the ballet bar. I knew then and there that this studio was where we would be! The staff and owners are more like family. The teachers have gone above and beyond to make my daughter feel special. Over the last 11 we have become a part of this dance family and I couldn’t be prouder. I can rave about my experiences for days knowing the smile on my daughter’s face each day speaks for itself!!"

"My daughter has been dancing here for the last 5 years. The teachers and owners are wonderful. My daughter has been comfortable since day one abs she is a shy kid at first. Our dance family is an amazing group of girls and parents. If you’re looking for a studio where everyone becomes family this is the place to go. We couldn’t be happier."

"ASAPA is one of the best studios on Long Island to send your child to for dance. The level of professionalism and respect throughout the studio can easily be seen from the owners to their staff. The owners, Lydia and Ashley, truly care about what’s best for their staff as well as their dancers when it comes to safety and always provide the dancers with amazing “Once in a Lifetime” opportunities to allow the dancers to grow. I highly recommend this dance studio to anyone searching for a warm and friendly environment where you will feel comfortable enough to call it home."

"We love A Step Above! My daughter is dancing here for 14 years, since she was 2 years old. I am so happy we found such a wonderful dance studio! The owners Lydia & Ashley are warm & loving. The teachers are all amazing! We have both made so many lifelong friends & they have become our 2nd family! I highly recommend them!!"

"I love ASAPA. The team has been so welcoming to me. I love all the friends that I have made and the teachers are the best. Not only are the teachers fun, but they are incredibly talented. I have learned so much from them. But most of all, I love being on the competition team. They make me feel like family and I have such fond memories of all my competitions. The owner Lydia is very responsive and always very understanding and helpful. I am so happy I left my other dance school to come here. It was the best decision. The environment is so friendly, and they make dancing fun for me."
