Empowering Kids Through Dance – One Step at a Time!

Island Style Dance Studio’s Step By Step Dance Project brings the joy, discipline, and teamwork of ballroom dance directly into Utah’s elementary and junior high schools. Over four to six weeks, students receive expert-led dance instruction during their regular PE time—culminating in a performance or competition that builds confidence and celebrates their progress.

How It Works:

Step 1: We Come to Your School

Our professional ballroom dance instructors visit your school during PE time once or twice a week for 4-6 weeks. No prior dance experience is required!

Step 2: Learn the Basics

Students learn fun, age-appropriate ballroom styles such as cha cha, swing, and waltz. Classes are engaging, active, and adapted for all skill levels.

Step 3: Celebrate the Journey

Each semester ends with one of the following exciting Student Experience, chosen in collaboration with school administration:

  • Competition: Students can participate in a real ballroom competition, judged and celebrated just like Dancing with the Stars!
  • Concert: Students can perform in our spectacular Island Style concert alongside our studio’s performing teams!
  • School Assembly: Students can perform their routines for classmates and staff in a fun, high-energy school assembly!
  • Parent Showcase: Parents are invited to a special in-school showcase during the final week of the program!
