Recreational dance classes Durham Region

From the moment a child can walk, they can join our Parent & Tot classes, and progress into our toddler programs. Our experienced instructors provide unmatched care, encouragement, and patience as they guide students through their dance journey.

 

Our recreational programs offer a wide range of dance styles for every age group, and if you're interested in something unique, we can tailor private lessons to meet your needs.
Dance programs for all ages Oshawa

I have had the incredible pleasure of teaching and choreographing on the dancers at Step With Style. Not only are they trained at an amazing high level of technique and movement, they are also trained to present themselves as professionals in training! Their positive attitudes, hunger for growth and work ethic is impressive to my highest demands!”

Parent & Tot dance classes Oshawa

My daughter was only 2yrs when we joined Step with Style. I knew she loved dance because it was all she did at home. When I got her to the studio, she cried. I was worried but the staff were so patient. They warned us parents that toddlers take time for consistency in schedule, surroundings and fear of new people to settle and they were right! At the 3 month mark that they had mentioned when I first joined she turned right around! Their experience and knowledge made the world of difference in our time there. My daughter ended up loving it so much she went on to be a competitive dancer and never cried again after that! I am so thankful for the Step with Style staff and their love and patience. Without their love and support, Taylor would not have been able to explore her love for dance. Now after many years we have been involved in different programs here. We did recreational, competitive cuties, fulltime and now are involved in Part time. I love that the studio works so hard at finding the right program to suit our families changing needs. It means so much to have a place like this in our lives. Thank you.”
