Fall sports are winding down… which means it’s the perfect time to DANCE! 💜 We’ve got new classes open and spots available in a few age groups — and dancers who join in November can still perform in our Holiday Show on Dec. 13 and our Recital on June 6! If your dancer has been talking about getting back into it (or trying something new!), this is their moment. 💫 Join us at Next Step Dance — where fun, friendship, and confidence grow all season long. #NextStepDance #HaveFunWorkHardDreamBig #BloomingtonDance
✨ Performance Team Spotlight: Heidi! ✨We’re so proud of our NSD Performance Team dancers — this time of year is all about learning, growing, and fine-tuning their craft. Heidi’s been working hard on her jazz solo, and we just had to share a sneak peek of her progress. 💪💃At Next Step Dance, we believe in celebrating the process just as much as the performance — because confidence, creativity, and community are built one step at a time. 🌟Keep shining, Heidi — and keep cheering on all our dancers as they reach for their next level! 💖#NextStepDance #NSDPerformanceTeam #HaveFunWorkHardDreamBig #DancerSpotlight #BloomingtonNormalDance #DanceCommunity #ProudCoach #GrowthInProgress #JazzSolo #NextLevelDancer
