Located in Midtown, Step I has three large, bright, air-conditioned studios. We offer classes seven days a week. Our friendly and caring staff are all trained and experienced in their area of instruction.

The FITNESS PROGRAM offers a variety of group fitness classes for all levels. Step I is known for its high energy, creative choreography and challenging classes. The DANCE PROGRAM offers a variety of classes for adults and children, ages 3 and up. We specialize in contemporary, L.A. style jazz, hip hop, ballet and tap. The Adult Program is on-going and you may start at any time. The Children's Program is divided into three sessions per year.

Step I is proud to be a "performing studio". The Children's program has a showcase recital at the end of each session and we house four resident dance companies for children and adults. Auditions for these companies are held annually. We hope to see you soon. Please call if you have any questions regarding our programs.
