The Next Step Dance Company (NSDC) was formed in 2004 and has shown great success since its inception. The company was designed to provide young dancers with a structured, more disciplined study of dance. This intensive dance program allows dancers to focus on technique and offers them more performance opportunities.
The well-rounded dance curriculum of NSDC provides dancers with a strong foundation and understanding of the art of dance. The required studies of dance consist of ballet, jazz, modern, and the choice of tap or hip hop, or both. Studying these forms of dance allows dancers to be extremely versatile and prepares members for the dance world outside of Step-By-Step. One night a week team members attend their company classes in two disciplines and the other disciplines must be studied in advanced recreational classes.
In 2007, NSDC expanded by adding a hip hop team that focused solely on the technique and culture of hip hop. The NSDC hip hop crew travels to competitions and conventions, sharing their love of the art. Crew members meet once or twice a week, but are also required to take other recreational classes. Dancers may participate in both company and crew.
The Next Step Dance Company looks forward to continuing to grow at Step-By-Step Dance Studio and to add more annual performances to their repertoire. If you are interested in auditioning for our company, please come to our auditions at our studio this spring! This opportunity is offered to anyone who loves to dance.
