here is what our community is saying:
Been at SBSD for 5 years since my first daughter turned 3 and now I have 2 daughters dancing there. 💗 Love love love the teachers + the program. The owners put so much heart + soul into the business. Highly recommend!

My girls have been taking the hip-hop class with Miss Sioux and have absolutely loved every part of it. She is a dancing genius - combining fun and empathy while teaching the kids intricate routines. I highly recommend Step by Step dance!
— Sonya Vargas
My daughter has been dancing at SBSD for 6 years and I can’t say enough great things about it! They’ve helped my daughter grow as a dancer while simultaneously having lots of fun! We moved to Carlsbad and we still make the drive!!
