About Our Studio

Steps Dance School was established in 2002 and offers opportunities for students ages 1.5 through adult to learn a variety of dance styles, including: ballet, tap, musical theater, hip hop, jazz, lyrical, and yoga. 

Steps has eight lead instructors and an Assistant Teacher Development Program for older students interested in developing their teaching skills.

We believe dance promotes patience, endurance, respect, artistic expression, and builds self-confidence. Steps Dance School offers individual dancer attention, respect towards each student, and guidance through the proper techniques. We work to give each student a good foundation in dance regardless of whether they decide to pursue dance as a career, a college degree, a hobby, or just for fun. Steps is dedicated to being a part of Garden City and its surrounding communities by encouraging expression through movement, developing a love of dance, and an appreciation for the performing arts.

Steps Dance School Garden City location is on Kansas Ave. in the basement of High Plains Orthodontics, or west of Golden Plains Credit Union and is handicap accessible.

OUR VISION

Teaching young hearts to move through life with grace.
