"Next Step is a triple threat kind of studio, the have it all for your rising stars, singing lessons; acting lessons and dance. My eleven and five year olds couldn't be happier! The teachers are firm yet fun and make them feel like they are all a part of the dance family. The male members of our family actually loved the recital, they usually sleep through a recital due to boredom but not with Hannah running the show, they gave rave reviews!"

Our staff boasts only multi-talented individuals, who hold accomplishments in music, dance, theater, academics and athletics.

What is the difference between Glee class and Show Choir class?
Glee is Show Choir at the children's level. Both classes focus on the fantastic art of combining vocals and dance, but are designed to fit kids or teens. The teen level generally also includes a hint of acting.
