First class is always free!

Anthony is terrific with the little kids and knows just how to get them excited about dancing -- it's fun, but they're learning real skills and building their bodies.

The staff members are all incredibly talented and professional and very dedicated to student growth and development. One thing that we've found here is that the teachers offer very individualized attention to each student, meeting them wherever they are in their dance journey and helping them grow and thrive. They work very hard in their classes, but make dance SO much fun that my kids (ages 7-13) can't wait to go, and often are there 5-6 days a week.

He is very kind and patient, but also expects your best effort every-time you are on the dance floor. If you are looking to dance for fun, competition or that perfect wedding dance you need to contact him today. I recently had the pleasure of meeting his colleagues Holli and Shannon. They were both very warm and welcoming my first time in the studio. I had several dance with Shannon who is from my first impression a high level dancer with a lot of patience. Not dancing for several months I am very rusty and she gently guided me when I tried to remember my steps. The studio is in an Historic Mill Building converted to studio space and is so wonderful. They did a beautiful job of creating the spaces to just feel very comfortable. The dance floor is a dream; so big and well done. I'm so glad I took the opportunity to check this studio out. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to dance for the first time, train for competitive dance. or create a once in a lifetime wedding dance.

"Our goal is to nurture your child's (and family's!) natural enthusiasm and skills for music and…read moremovement." Mister Christopher is a natural with children. The classes that he holds are simple and easy to do for children of all ages. The classes concentrate on children younger than five but includes family members so that interaction is intimate and comfortable within his circle of music. He provides simple musical instruments for the children and accompanies on guitar encouraging children and adults to move, sing and play. The more that you interact with him the better the class gets. He teaches not only music but basic social skills such as sharing, cleaning up after yourself, politeness, and trust. The classes are such that you can attend one and feel included but people are encouraged to come back repeatedly and some families have been taking their kids there over and over again. It's a play group especially for kids to relax, have fun, spend quality time with their parents, or any family member. There are two locations where the classes meet. A Class location in PORTSMOUTH, RI at Elite Academy (formerly known as "Steppin Out Studios") 35 Dyer St. (off of Sprague St.) and A Class location in NEWPORT, RI at St. Paul's Methodist Church - 12 Marlborough St. (downtown Newport) I've taken my niece to the second location a few times. She's a special needs child that has a difficult time socializing. She really responds to Mister Christopher (that is what he has the children call him in class). He is very patient with all the children even kids that other parents may not know how to handle. I have a lot of respect for him as he has a CD of his own songs so you can practice dancing and singing at home with your kids. He also has the kids take home simple homework. Nothing too strenuous but an excellent way to have your children grow up with the expectation that you take work in your classroom and apply it at home. I have to add that when I first attended class with my niece I was a skeptical of Mister Christopher's methods. The classes seemed very childish. After attending it again and paying attention to his process and watching the other kids and my niece's reaction I was really impressed with him and the classes. He's very polite, engaging and easy to talk to. The class is suppose to be child like to capture your child's interest and make them comfortable so they can follow directions. When you first come to any class you and your child take off your shoes. So wear socks. Be prepared to pick your child up if they are very shy and have them dance with you if they can't (or won't) dance by themselves. Ask questions if you don't understand why Mister Christopher is doing something or if you can't hear. It can get noisy with the instruments at times but it's not all banging on drums or tambourines. Most of all relax and let Mister Christopher guide you through the class. Your child will really benefit from this class and Mister Christopher's attitude.
