A firm foundation is the most important element in the artistic growth of a dance. Those children who receive training in the fundamentals will excel in any form of dance they choose to study as they grow. Our staff strives to have classes ranked according to age and ability, providing the most productive environment possible for the growth of each student’s skills.

Ballet is a basic function for all dance, and we encourage all students to take ballet, no matter what dance style they are most interested in.

Our dance school offers many levels of instruction in ballet, tap, pointe, jazz, lyrical, hip hop and musical theatre.

For our 3-4 year olds, we offer an innovative program, exclusively taught at our studios. Our Combination Class enhances motor skills and teaches the fundamentals of dance. Within an hour children are taught flexibility, coordination, rhythm, and discipline through dance with an introduction to tap, ballet, and tumbling. This plan prepares the little ones for all types of dance by giving them a strong foundation in the basic principles of movement.

For our 5-7 year-olds, we offer an extension of the combination class - Combination 2. These classes continue with the classical training of tap and ballet.

For 7 year olds and older, we offer a full schedule of classes in all disciplines of dance.

Class Sizes are limited to provide as much one-on-one instruction as possible. All classes containing more than 8 young students will have an assistant instructor.

Stepping Out is home to the award-winning Stepping Out Dance Company. There are several divisions of Competition Teams for each age and skill level.

Auditions for the teams are generally held during an extensive summer program, which is required for placement on a team. In addition to winning top honors at many Regional Dance Competitions, “Stepping Out” has entertained at Walt Disney World, The State Fair, Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines, local festivals, the Miss SC and other beauty pageants, as well as many charity events.

Dance doesn’t end in May after our annual Recital. We offer technique classes in June and July as well as special dance camps for different ages groups throughout the summer. Students who attend our “Fundance Camps” receive instruction in all types of dance, giving the students a chance to try out new dance styles. The cost for each program varies.
