Special thanks:
Thank you to Archbishop Riordan High School and Viggen Rassam.
Thanks to my two sons, Julius and Jonah and my husband Joey for helping with the flower sales and for allowing our home to be taken over by costume boxes, sequins, feathers, and various sewing and hot glue projects in preparation for the big show.
Thank you to my amazing staff for a wonderful year of dance and for all of the extras you do in preparation for the performance.
Thanks to all of the parent volunteers for helping during the show and to all of our dancers for coming to class and working so hard to learn their dances. Together we create a truly special performance.
And a big thanks to all of you for coming and supporting Steppin' Out Dance Studio! I'm inspired by the support in this community, and I'm excited to continue to grow the studio's offerings in the years ahead. Dance is a wonderful gift to share. I hope you enjoy the show!

All performers and teachers!
At Steppin’ Out, we always end class by handing out stickers, and we wanted to end the year by handing out custom Steppin’ Out stickers to our performers and audience members! Make sure to grab them from one of your teachers or from the flower table in the lobby.
If you want to stay in the loop with Steppin' Out, visit our website and subscribe to our monthly newsletter!
Our fall schedule will be available in July and registration will open in August. We hope to see all of you at the studio in September! Have a wonderful summer.
