A Step Above Dance & Music Academy opened in 1988 as an option for dancers and their parents who prefer dance training based in positive reinforcement and concern for the self-esteem
and self-image of the young dancer.
A Step Above Dance & Music Academy provides its students with self-confidence and feelings of accomplishment through excellent training in all areas of dance. Director Tami Bisbee teaches with a faculty of highly-trained, caring teachers who are looking forward to helping you and your child develop a lifelong respect and appreciation for the performing arts.

Learn more about our classes!
We offer excellent technical training through our unique curriculum that has trained so many before. Dance training not only prepares a dancer for a possible dance career or college dance. People who grow up dancing tend to have excellent time management skills, self-confidence, better memory and concentration, more energy, better balance and flexibility, and excellent friendships.
Ages 2-8 years old
The Children's Program
Learning through fun, making friendships and being cognitively appropriate. Combo classes will introduce students to the benefits of each style as well as giving parents a two for one price point. Ballet will be required unless they are taking hip hop only.
