About Our School
Since 1996, Steppin Out Dance Studio has been proudly providing dance classes to children of all ages in the Monroe, Pella, Grinnell, Prairie City, Otley, Knoxville, Reasnor, Sully, Lynnville, and Newton areas.

As a parent, we realize you have a choice between several different dance schools. Not all studios are the same. We constantly strive to provide our students and parents with the best experience possible. We offer a wide variety of dance styles to choose from, including ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, pointe, lyrical, jazz-pom, clogging, drill team prep, acrobatic dance, and tumbling. You can also join our award winning competition team.
Our Mission
To provide students of all ages with the skills they need to enjoy dance for a lifetime.

WEATHER: Because of the wonderful weather - we have missed some classes the past month or so and will be sending out a make-up schedule as soon as we can. Please be patient as we only have so many weekends to work with and will do our best to get them made up as soon as possible.
