A Step Above Dance Academy

"My daughter and I have been apart of the ASA family for 3 years. I can't say enough great things about our experience here! She has grown more in the last 3 years than she has in the last 7 at her first studio. The teachers/choreographers have been so inspiring to her. She has been on a competitive team for a total of 6 years, however during our last 3 years with ASA, she has been given so many opportunities to dance and assist at multiple conventions. We love our ASA dance family! ❤️"

"We (my two daughters (ages 5 and 8) and myself) love A Step Above Dance Academy. I appreciate the focus on teaching age/ability appropriate dance technique but also all of the important life and social/ emotional skills that go hand in hand with dance/extracurriculars. I am so impressed with the positive relationships within the classes whether it is dancer/dancer or dancer/instructor. There are a lot of smiles going on during all of the classes but you can also observe the respect, work ethic and grit that is being learned/developed. My 8 year old is a member of the ASA company team. I never thought she would want to compete so young but after her first time performing on stage in a recital setting, she was hooked ("Mommy, I want to be on stage all of the time"). She danced on the petite company for 3 years and is currently dancing in her first year of "big girl" company. She loves it... She loves everything about it. I am so thankful for all of the positive experiences and growth opportunities that go hand in hand with competitive dance. My 5 year old is currently a recreational dancer. I love that she feels just as a part of ASA as her sister. I love that ASA makes you feel a part of the studio no matter your level of commitment. However, my 5 year old has been showing interest in having more stage time like her sister so another company member may be in our future. Last but not least... I have formed so many friendships at ASA. Not only is it the second home of my children but it is also mine. I would highly recommend trying A Step Above Dance Academy. I am so thankful that we found ASA."

"So grateful for the guidance, support, expertise and patience that Miss Shannon and all of the instructors at ASA have for their students. ASA offers opportunities for students of all ages and abilities. My daughter is always so excited to go to class, not only because she is making new friends and learning new things, but because the staff at the studio are so welcoming and fun to be around!"

"Our 4 year old daughter is taking the Tip Toe 2 class and is going to be going on her 4th quarter dancing with Mrs. Shannon. She absolutely looks up to her and loves seeing her every week. Since she began at ASA she has really opened up and made new friends. We look forward to continuing her dance education at ASA and highly recommend it to everyone!!"

"The faculty and staff at ASA has not only been a positive impact on my daughter, but the rest of my family as well! Combining high-quality dance education with and a mindset that dance brings a richness to life, ASA is a supportive environment for dancers. This is a different kind of dance community. One of skill, passion, and a relentless desire to share the art of physical expression with the world. Most importantly, I feel safe leaving my children with Shannon to learn about dance. She has a patience and way of bringing out the creative side of dancers. As an adult student, I have enjoyed class immensely with Sabrina, appreciating a way to step out of my comfort level and try something new. Thank you, Shannon, for bringing this impressive studio to life in Batavia!"
