Steppin' Out Dance Academy is truly a gem in the community! The studio provides not only top-quality dance instruction but also a warm and welcoming environment where every student feels supported and encouraged. The teachers are dedicated to helping dancers grow in both skill and confidence, and the positive, family-like atmosphere sets this studio apart from others. The owner and staff genuinely care about their students' well-being and development, which is evident in the way classes are run--with professionalism, creativity, and respect. It's clear that this is a place where kids thrive, both as dancers and as individuals. It's also worth noting that the studio has consistently received glowing feedback from families over the years. The only negative comments you might see come from a former staff member who is no longer with the studio. Those remarks don't reflect the true experience of the students and families who are part of this wonderful community. If you're looking for a dance home where your child will be challenged, supported, and inspired, Steppin' Out Dance Academy is the place to be! read more

Steppin out is an inclusive and loving dance studio that allows students to thrive in a comfortable environment. As a former student who has since RETURNED to the studio, I have always felt loved and appreciated as a dancer and an individual. The staff at the studio are all professional and well educated in dance while continuing further training and education of their own to help their students grow. Students are taught not only dance but taught to be confident and how to shine on their own as well as within a team. Students are encouraged to push themselves creatively through dance and to explore their own forms of self-expression. The studio offers a wide range of classes for everyone including most styles of dance, self defense classes, Pom-Pom classes and even adult and adaptive classes for students with special needs. It also has a stellar competition team for students while also have recreational classes for those who do not wish to compete. Passion and love thrives at this studio and I strongly encourage others to look into stepping out for not only for their children, but adults as well! read more

Steppin' Out has been so much more than just a dance studio for our family--it has truly been a second home. My daughter started here when she was little, and over the years she grew up within the studio walls. The teachers didn't just teach her how to dance; they poured into her as a person, helping her find her confidence, her voice, and a community where she always felt she belonged. Some of our happiest memories were made here--recitals, rehearsals, competitions, and even just ordinary nights at the studio. It always felt like family. My daughter walked in as a shy little girl and walked out years later as a strong, confident young woman, and I give so much credit to the support, encouragement, and love she received here. We will always be grateful for the impact Steppin' Out had on her life. It's rare to find a place that gives kids not just skills, but also lifelong confidence and friendships. This studio will always hold a very special place in our hearts! read more

It's still the best studio around! Voted Best of the Seacoast for the past 7 years in a row. They offer classes for all ages 2-102, as well as classes for children with special needs at zero cost to the family. The instructors are kind, patient and very knowledgeable. The owner of the studio went to great lengths to make the studio safe for my child to attend classes while going through chemotherapy for leukemia when she was very young. It has been our second home for the past 17 years; and my daughter has since graduated high school and is now a member of a dance company in Boston while attending college thanks to the outstanding instruction she received at Steppin' Out. read more

With classes for all ages--from young beginners to adults--there's something fun for everyone.
