A Step Above Dance & Music Academy

"Safely Nurturing Talent, Together as Family."

About Us

At A Step Above, we believe in Safely Nurturing Talent, Together as Family. Our philosophy is rooted in the core values of building self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment in every dancer who walks through our doors. We are dedicated to providing excellent dance instruction across a diverse range of styles. Through our teaching methods and an age-appropriate curriculum, we strive to impart not only technical proficiency but also important life lessons along the way. Our faculty consists of highly-trained professionals who are not only experts in their respective fields, but also deeply caring individuals committed to the growth and development of each student. They serve as mentors and guides, fostering an environment where students feel supported and encouraged to reach their fullest potential. Beyond mastering dance technique, we aim to instill in our students a lifelong respect and appreciation for the performing arts. We believe that exposure to the arts enriches lives and cultivates empathy, creativity, and cultural understanding.
Moreover, we recognize that dance lessons extend far beyond the studio floor; they teach invaluable life lessons. Through the discipline, perseverance, and teamwork inherent in dance training, our students learn skills that transcend the stage and prepare them for success in all aspects of life. Above all, we are committed to providing a positive, enjoyable, and challenging experience for every student. Our studio is a place where laughter and hard work coexist, where challenges are met with determination and support, and where lifelong friendships are forged. Together, as a dance family, we embark on a journey of growth, learning, and artistic expression.

Testimonials

On 10/20/2024 Sosha Lund had this to say:
My daughter has danced at A Step Above for four years, and it’s been one of the most positive, impactful parts of her development. Tami goes out of her way to help families, and her teachers have always been knowledgeable and supportive. The studio does a great job of making learning fun through themed days, and invites family members in multiple times per year to observe and participate in classes. Through her dancing journey, my daughter has increased her self esteem, body positivity, perseverance, and teamwork skills. She gets to see positive role models in the older dancers and build lasting friendships with her classmates. I would definitely recommend A Step Above to anyone looking for a dance experience for their child.

I'm so glad we found this studio! My 4 year old loves his tap/ballet class. All of the staff and teachers have been super engaging and helpful.

On 10/1/2024 Meryl Klecker had this to say:
This is our second year dancing with the studio. My daughters love it and they are very good at teaching and engaging children. We also wish that they would bring back boys hip hop! Only point of contention was that communication at times was scattered around the rehearsal, especially for the new families.
