Step by Step Dance Studio has welcomed, taught, encouraged, and grown many dancers that have taken their new found skill in every direction from the simplicity of learning for a wedding or cruise, all the way through to winning national championships in a dance competition. Step by Step has existed for the purpose of meeting students needs at all levels, including the needs of simply finding a new activity to do together! We welcome all left feet, all rhythm challenged leads, and all 'follows' that have a hard time learning to 'follow'!

Dance will help you learn a bit more about yourself, aid you in connecting better with others, and strengthen existing relationships, not to mention introduce you to a host of new ones! Ballroom, swing, country, tango and salsa are all classes that we offer and teach in both group or private settings.

They even have the younger kids go in as an audience to watch the older ones. The women at the front desk and on the phone couldn't be bothered to listen or address any questions.

Solomon's Dance Studio is what is known as a recreational dance studio. This means they do not…read moreemphasize technique, instead they focus on preparing the students for their recital in the spring. This is not a pre-professional school, and your child will not be prepared to go into dance just from taking classes here unless they are profoundly gifted and highly motivated. Often the dance moves are technically inappropriate for the students because they have not been taught the basic technique that under-grids the maneuvers. Although they do "ballet" it is really more like jazz. You should be aware that the recital is the entire focus of this studio. Starting in September or October the classes will begin learning the choreography and will spend seven to eight months learning their dances, of which each class will have two, and some will have three. Costumes are ordered in December and recital fees are paid usually in February. A video will be made by the teachers and assistants available for purchase in February or March that students can use at home to help them practice their choreography. The recitals have been performed at Racine Christian Church because they have a large stage and auditorium. They are also filmed and DVDs can be purchased at the recital, delivered usually in July. The studio is a very family-values place which will provide a fun, safe, dance experience. The students are cheerfully taught, and each class has one or two older students who help out with the younger ones. No uniforms are worn, instead children are encouraged to wear something they like, as long as its appropriate to dance in. Shoes are required and are purchased by style in the fall to match what they will need for their recital in the spring. A used /free box is maintained that parents are allowed to go shoe shopping in to save costs.

In addition to teaching dance skills, Solomon's concentrates on helping grow their students by teaching them to respect and to be respectable.

While I really like all the staff, and the students there seem kind there are just a few things…read morethat are too much. 1. While the prices are very competitive, the hours stink. Most are between:330-5pm which is really hard for a person who has a job, and it's tough to grab the kid from school then rush across town. 2. Closed when schools are closed IE vacations, and breaks. 3. Not letting parents view their children in class. I'm sure some people don't want to, and maybe teachers feel like it takes the attention away from them, but some parents still want to be involved. Sitting in a narrow hallway on uncomfortable furniture is not the idea for parents waiting an hour and a half. 4. Return policy, return unused items within one week for store credit. I mean come on "store credit?" Like I said nothing personal against the staff at all, they are all fantastic, but the studio, and it's hours need some work.

My niece attended Graystone School of Ballet and liked her instructors. To me that goes a long way,…read moreso I certainly can't give them a bad rating! However, I had the chance to attend 3 different events/recitals given by Graystone and the overall impression that I got was not very good. Two of the events were in a ramsackle church with shoddy production values and lackluster appeal; the third was held in the aging Taylor Auditorium at MSSU and it came off like someone's last minute effort to stage a children's production. The most senior students (in their teens) did not perform at the level I would expect from long term students of dance, although it was assured that they had been taking classes for many years. I think Graystone would be a great experience for kids who aren't seriously pursuing dance, but just want a fun extracurricular activity and self esteem boost. If your child has serious dance aspirations I'd strongly suggest you look elsewhere, even if it is more expensive!

Of JESUS CHRIST! :) The crew here works so hard to bring this captivating story to life - and boy do they succeed! My favorite part was the theater set-up. Even when you see the 7 or 8 obvious scenes upon arrival, what you don't see is hidden in the hills above! It was so cool how they transitioned from scene to scene using torches and powerful lights to direct your eyes. It kept the play moving seamlessly. At first, the single track pre-recorded audio bothered me a bit, but it was actually super easy to hear ALL the words, track who was saying it, and understand the references. They worked in SOOO many scriptures!!! What a night. Even without seeing all the other attractions on sight, we felt our time was well spent.

If you wanted a good visual representation of the final days and resurrection of Christ this is a good show. The only nit pick I have was the American accents through out the production. This is not a historical accurate play nor do they say it is. In fact , Kevin Sorbo explained to us that much of the dialogue was inspired by the Bible. So there's that.
