Come dance with us!
Updates
3/1/2022 - Masks will be optional inside the studio.
We have been doing all we can to continue offering an outlet for our children during this pandemic.
We understand this is a frustrating time for everyone, but our goal is to provide an anchor for our children during a time that they need us most. We have learned a lot from last year and plan to move forward with improved strategies to help our children keep dancing during this time!
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.
We are sure your experience with us will be positive, enjoyable, and challenging.

-
A dance program offering excellent dance technique and instruction in ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, and musical theater.
