We were given this incredible opportunity to join the BIPOC Youth program this season and it has been such a beautiful experience learning the history of Tap and watching my child grow and blossom with each Ballet and Tap class. The teachers are truly inspirational it’s remarkable what they do for our community. The staff here really listen and give great feedback with furthering knowledge for practicing at home. I wish there were more stars to give Steps PDX!!🐝🦋💞✨

My daughter says it’s fun and she loves her tap and ballet classes. Her only criticism would be better snacks for the kids who forget or aren’t able to bring a snack.

Steps had been amazing for our little 4 year old! The teachers are TRULY amazing and take so much time to make sure the kids have a fun experience while learning dance and dance history. It’s one of the things that our little girl looks forward to the most every week!

My daughter has been dancing at Steps PDX for a year now. This dance program has been everything she’s dreamed of. As a former dancer myself I am very happy and impressed with the foundation she is receiving as a beginner. Her growth has been exceptional. She leaves each class empowered and determined to push herself more. This studio has a lot of love to give and a strong community atmosphere. If you are looking for a place for your children to grow and receive the highest quality of training Steps PDX is the place.

We Love Stepspdx! My 2 daughters have been going to Stepspdx since 2020 . Not only have my girls learned more self discipline from doing Ballet , Contemporary and other Dance classes, we have gained a family !! Steps staff and families have helped me in unimaginable ways from the scholarship program for low income families like mine and during other challenging times they have given us support . I have also taken Dance classes myself!! I recommend Stepspdx 100%
