Dance classes give children the freedom to express themselves through movement.
Why Dance Steps Miami?
Here are some of the top reasons our dance family loves us!
NO CONTRACTS
Only pay monthly tuition and stop whenever you want, or simply pay per class - No commitments. (Ask about our yearly payment discount too!) We do encourage consistent attendance to class as this is the proven way a dancer can improve and become the best he/she can be.
NO COMPETITIONS
With so many competitive dance studios in Miami, it’s hard to find one that doesn’t pressure families into signing up for competitions. We offer performance opportunities throughout the year where dancers can learn the same dance and life skills from competing such as teamwork, commitment, accountability, goal-setting, discipline, and building confidence.
CERTIFIED TEACHERS
Our teachers hold dance degrees from accredited universities and/or are certified to teach in their field by prestigious dance organizations, such as the American Ballet Theatre, so you know your child is getting quality education and is properly learning dance.
