Steppin' Out Dance Company is
DeForest Dance Academy's
Award-Winning
Competitive Performance Team.
If your Recreational dancer wants to take their commitment to dance to the next level, you're in the right place!
In addition to competing Regionally and Nationally, your dancer will receive training from top instructors and choreographers in the area while building individual technical skills, working as a team with dancers their age, and make lasting memories while performing.
Dancers may choose to audition for Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, or all three Disciplines. Auditions are held in mid-late June, and Dancer's are carefully selected based on
skill level and age.
Dancers will be notified in July with Audition Results.
