About Our Studio

Steps Dance School was established in 2002 in Garden City, Kansas, and offers opportunities for students ages 1.5 through adult to learn a variety of dance styles, including: ballet, tap, musical theater, hip hop, jazz, lyrical, and yoga. 

Steps has several highly trained lead instructors that specialize in a variety of styles and an Assistant Teacher Development Program for older students interested in developing their teaching skills.

We believe dance promotes patience, endurance, respect, artistic expression, and builds self-confidence. Steps Dance School offers individual dancer attention, respect towards each student, and guidance through the proper techniques. We work to give each student a good foundation in dance regardless of whether they decide to pursue dance as a career, a college degree, a hobby, or just for fun. Steps is dedicated to being a part of the community by encouraging expression through movement, developing a love of dance, and an appreciation for the performing arts.

Steps Dance School NYC is located in the heart of Manhattan in New York.
