Adult Dance Program

Whether you’re taking your very first dance class, returning after years away, or simply looking for a fun way to stay active, there’s a place for you at Step By Step.

Our Adult Dance Program offers a welcoming and supportive environment where adults can move, learn, connect, and have fun. With a variety of dance styles offered throughout the week, our classes are designed for adults looking for fitness, creativity, community, or simply an opportunity to do something for themselves.

Adult Drop-In Classes

Our regular Adult Drop-In Program runs September through June and follows our academic-year calendar.

No registration. No monthly tuition. No yearly commitment.

Adult classes are offered on a drop-in basis for $15 per class, payable by cash or Venmo at the time of class. Simply come to the studio for the class you would like to take and sign in before participating.

All adult participants are required to sign in prior to each class.

Because there is no formal registration required for our drop-in program, we strongly encourage adult dancers to sign up for our email newsletter. This allows us to periodically share schedule updates, studio information, special classes, workshops, and other Adult Program announcements.

Before You Come to Class

Our Adult Drop-In Program follows an academic calendar, so the studio may be closed for scheduled holidays, Waltham Public Schools closings, inclement weather, or other scheduled studio closures.

Our September–June schedule is our regular academic-year schedule; however, classes and instructors are subject to change when necessary. Our Adult Program may also operate on a modified or reduced schedule during the slower summer months.

Before heading to the studio, we recommend checking our Events Calendar for current studio closures and updates.

What Should I Wear?

Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely is recommended. Leggings, T-shirts, athletic wear, and similar dance or fitness clothing are all appropriate.

You do not need to purchase special dancewear to participate. Some dance styles, however, do require or benefit from specific footwear.

Tap: Tap shoes are required. We recommend the Capezio Cadence Tap Shoe in Black (Style #CG19).

Jazz: Jazz shoes are recommended. We recommend the Capezio E-Series Jazz Slip-On in Black (Style #EJ2).

Lyrical/Contemporary: We recommend the Capezio Hanami Pirouette (Style #H064W) in Mocha, Light Suntan, Skintone, or Nude to best match the dancer’s skin tone.

Hip Hop: We highly recommend a supportive sneaker that is designated specifically for dance and indoor studio use. Please do not wear outdoor street sneakers on the dance floor. Dedicated dance sneakers help us protect our studio flooring and prevent dirt, glass, debris, and other outdoor materials from entering the dance space.

If you’re unsure about footwear for a particular class, please contact us before purchasing shoes. We’re happy to help.

Why Dance?

Dance is more than exercise. It’s an opportunity to improve strength and coordination, reduce stress, learn something new, build confidence, express yourself creatively, and connect with others in a positive environment.

You don’t have to be an experienced dancer to walk through our doors. Whether you’re beginning something new, rediscovering something you once loved, or looking for a different way to stay active, we invite you to join us.

Have an idea for an adult class you’d like to see at Step By Step? We’d love to hear from you. Email us at office@stepbystepinc.com with class requests, styles you’d like to try, or suggestions for future Adult Program offerings.

We look forward to dancing with you!
