Fall Registration is Now Open! + Steppin' Out August News

Fall class registration is now open! Check out our fall class schedule and when you're ready, head over to our registration page. We expect classes will fill up very quickly, so register as soon as you can to secure your preferred class(es).  If you are interested in joining a class but it's full by the time you go to register, make sure to join the waitlist.  Students sometimes shift around the first few weeks of classes and openings often occur.  If a spot becomes available we will invite students from the waitlist and prorate the tuition accordingly.

Our fall semester begins the week after Labor Day and run through the end of January, 2024. We have one class that's an exception to this: Friday 5:00 Jazz for ages 8-12 has a late start date and won't begin until October 27th. You can register for this class by scrolling through the registration calendar until you reach the week of October 27th, or you can use this special link.

If you are a family that is new to Steppin' Out and you'd like to join one of our classes, take a look at our class selection guidelines to find a good fit for your dancer given their age and dance experience. If you need help choosing a class, email Angela
