Bring a Friend Week!
2026-10-03 - 2026-10-09
Saturday, October 3 – Friday, October 9
Sharing dance is even more fun with a friend! During Bring a Friend Week, dancers are invited to bring one friend to participate in class and experience what Step By Step Dance Studio is all about.
Here’s what you need to know:

Every dancer who brings a friend will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE Full-Page Ad in our 2027 Recital Program—a $100 value! Create your own page with your favorite photos and message.
Friends should be close in age to the class they are attending.
Friends should wear comfortable clothing they can move in. If they have dance shoes, they’re welcome to wear them. Otherwise, athletic sneakers or bare feet are perfectly fine, depending on the class.
Friends will participate in the class, not simply observe.
A parent or legal guardian must sign a participation waiver before the friend may enter the classroom.
To help us prepare, please let the office know in advance if you plan to bring a friend.

We can’t wait to welcome some new faces and share the joy of dance with your friends!

Halloween Spirit Week!
2026-10-26 - 2026-10-31
Monday, October 26 – Saturday, October 31
It’s one of our favorite weeks of the dance season! During Halloween Spirit Week, dancers are invited to show off their creativity by wearing a Halloween costume to class.
If a Halloween costume isn’t your style, feel free to wear an old dance recital costume or create a fun themed outfit. We’ve seen some amazing ideas over the years—from entire classes dressed as the Mario Brothers or Crayola Crayons to our competitive team surprising everyone by dressing as Miss Pam and Miss Demetra! We can’t wait to see what you come up with this year!
For everyone’s safety:

Dancers should wear their regular dance attire underneath their costume.
Please remember to bring all required dance shoes to class.
Costumes should allow dancers to move safely. We ask that costumes with long skirts, capes, or anything that drags on the floor be avoided, as they can become a tripping hazard during class.

Most importantly…have fun, get creative, and enjoy celebrating Halloween with your dance friends!
