Soul Steps Dance

At Soul Steps Dance Company, we believe that every good thing and perfect gift comes from above, as stated in James 1:17. We strive to create a positive environment that goes beyond technique and develops excellence in both dance and character. Our prayer is that when dancers leave each week, they long to come back the next. We want our dancers to be a radiant light that shines in the community, adding something special to regular dance steps that comes from within.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where dancers can grow and thrive. We believe that dance is a form of expression that can bring joy and inspiration to both the dancer and the audience. Our goal is to create a community where dancers can build confidence, develop their skills, and make lasting memories.

Our Facilities

Our school is located inside Calvary Baptist Church, beside the Norwin Library. We are thankful for the use of this wonderful building and the ample room provided for waiting dancers.
