My husband Joseph Dorantes allowing our home to be covered in costume boxes, sequins, feathers and various sewing projects in preparation for the big show.
My amazing staff for a wonderful year of dance and for all of the extras you do in preparation for the performance!
All of the parent volunteers for helping keep the students together during the show.
All of our dancers for coming to class and working so hard on learning their dances. Together we created a truly special performance.
And thank you to all of you for coming and supporting Steppin' Out Dance Studio! We’ve been around for 28 years—long enough that I’m beginning to see former students that are now parents bringing their littles ones to the studio to dance with us! I’m inspired by the support in this community and I’m excited to continue and 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 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.
