Step 2 This Dance & Performing Arts

"This studio has been so unprofessional with how they deal with kids, they are your students not your best friends. The professionalism is so flip flop and frustrating. The teachers can be rude and yelling at the kids constantly to the point that the kids think its normal and that’s no way to run a dance studio let alone if you are calling it a dance school. Kids would come out crying, so stressed and overall so unhappy. Not a good experience with them, wouldn’t recommend this studio, wouldn’t go back."

"This place is good if you are just starting dance or are going to be strictly recreational classes. If you're looking for a competition teams it does not offer much growth after 10 to 12 years old and it's one of the most expensive in the area. Costumes rarely fit and you are made to make due with what is received, making for a difficult season with your child uncomfortable for months. The instructors are inconsistent, and are frequently absent, there is rarely anyone at the front desk to help, or watching the kids outside while they are on break. There's lots of playing around in the competition classes even right before competitions leading to injuries at times. Lastly there is little to no down time for your kid to have a break and recover from strains/injuries or enjoy family vacations. Also Facebook reviews are higher because she blocked anyone who leaves the studio."

"dancing at this studio is probably the best thing that has ever happened in my life. before dancing here I have been dance for 6 years, I never rlly got the techniques. I was unflexible, I couldn't do a good double turn, and never got any dancing techniques like leaps or leg holds. now it has been 3 years at this studio and I couldn't be happier I have learned so much and I'm proud. this studio has the best teachers you will get they are all so funny yet professional. I have made great friends and family. even best friends and I rlly didn't have many friends until I started dancing here. I plan on dancing here for as long as I can. I made life long friendships here and I really do suggest dancing here, all of my dance-mates love it. this studio is my second home. :)"

"My daughter danced at step to this for 14 years on the competition team. She loved dancing here and continues to have a great relationship with the owners And her dance mates . It was such a wonderful experience she has made life long friends. Over they years they have won many top overall awards, too numerous to count. The teaching is excellent! Very professional and caring teachers. I couldn’t say enough about how great this studio is! Several of the alumni students have gone on to have professional dance carriers or have become dance instructors."

"I was a part of this studio since I was 3 years old; whether it was as a dancer or as someone who simply watched and supported them. That being said I want to share my years of experience and observations. If you’re between the ages of 2-9, I would recommend this studio to help learn the beginning techniques of dance, but after that I would suggest leaving because you’re not going to learn anything more than the basics. Being someone who danced here when I was 3, took a break for several years and started dancing here again at 13; I relearned the basics, participated in the recital and decided I wanted to join the competition team the next year. I joined the team for one year where I experienced very little personal growth, after that season I wasn’t able to compete for personal reasons. I continued to take competition level classes because I wanted to try again the next season. Several average level teachers started working there and continued to teach the same stuff every class. This eventually caused me to stop enjoying dance. My experience as an observer/supporter leaves me very disappointed; the owner is constantly rude to her students, personally attacking them and even putting them down when giving corrections and allows the teachers to do so as well. This is a very unprofessional environment with constant drama that everyone on the competition team seems to get involved with because the owner shares everyone's business. The owner constantly talks about people behind their back, never confronting them personally. Something I, as a kid, experienced myself. This encouraged others (kids and adults who knew your business) to treat you poorly as well. Overall this studio is good for beginners and recreational students to learn the basics. For the most part, the competition program is average (with some exceptions) and the studio, which likes to talk about being family friendly, has become anything but."
