"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!"
