NEW STAR IN THE MAKING!

Do you have a new star in the making?!

If you believe that your young one appreciates music and loves to wiggle!- join SWS today!
Step with Style has wonderful classes designed for the youngest dancer to adult!

MOM & TOT
Mom and Tot class is a great way to get both mom and baby enjoying time together. This class is taught by Angela Casalino Saturdays 12-12:30pm at our #214 King Street location. In this class mom and tot together stretch, bounce and play to music. Mom and tot use props such as hats, caines, wands, tambourines and more to explore movement together.

Dance isn't just exercise it's art! By introducing your child to music and movement you are broadening their horizons. Our job as parents is to open every door possible! Have your young dancer explore their creative side in a Mom and Tot class... who knows you may have a little star on your hands!

BALLET & TAP
Step with Style also has ballet and tap classes for those 2-3yrs just starting out.
As all moms know tiny ones don't always have the best day and we can't always understand why a 2-3 year old decides to do what they do. Be patient with your young dancer. At 2-3yrs they won't always want to go inside the classroom.. they may cry for a few weeks.., but the young students flourish with repetition and structure. Continue to take them to dance class for at least 12 weeks before deciding it isn't for them.
Scientists say a child needs to try a food 17 times before truly knowing if they like it or not.. the same amount of time is needed to truly know if they like an activity like dance or not. Be patient and give your child the true chance to see if dance is something they enjoy!

PUT THE RUMORS TO REST

There are many rumors surrounding SWS. It is quite unbelievable what some will say in order to detour people from making their own choices and or getting the correct information. Don't believe everything you hear! Get out there and see for yourself what SWS is all about!

The TRUTH about SWS:

-SWS PUTS EQUAL ENERGY INTO OUR RECREATIONAL TEAM! We have a Recreational Director who over sees the entire Recreational Program stay tuned for more info about this.... and our Recreational dancers have their very own yearend performance! Some of our instructors for our recreational program are straight from So You Think You Can Dance!

-WE ONLY HAVE ADULT INSTRUCTORS FOR BOTH OUR RECREATIONAL LEVEL AS WELL AS COMPETITIVE!

-WE DO NOT HAVE WEIGH INS This rumour is ridiculous.

-WE HAVE DIFFERENT LEVELS NOT EVERYONE IS AS ADVANCED AS THE NEXT So many are afraid they would not make the SWS competitive team however this is because they are not aware we have MANY different levels of competitive!

-WE BELIEVE BEING A GREAT PERSON FAR OUTWEIGHS WINNING HOWEVER WE EXPECT NOTHING LESS THAN THE STUDENTS VERY BEST People will often forget a great dancer but NEVER forget when someone is good to them.

-WE DO NOT FAVOR STUDENTS All students get routines and praise as deserved. All the instructors ask if that students work to their fullest potential.

-OUR COMPETITIVE STUDENTS HAVE A SCHEDULE OF 3 DAYS A WEEK ANY MORE THAN THAT IS THE FAMILIES CHOICE

Anyone that believes that SWS doesn't have a fun friendly atmosphere...
has never seen Sasha participate with the kids in a pool relay race.

Anyone that believes SWS only cares about winning...
has never heard Mandy and Sasha saying "Being a great dancer is wonderful but if you are a great person you will always be remembered."

Anyone that believes SWS's recreational team is expensive ...
has never seen our price chart where the average per class can be as low as $5.50!

Anyone that has been told the SWS competitive team is too expensive..
has never had a meeting with Sasha to discuss how many routines they wish to do (How many routines you do is the families decision SWS does not force families to do more than they can afford. Some dancers stick with the base amount of 3 routines and others do more.. it's really up to you!) The program itself is approx $6 per class and there are ONLY competitive students in the class. This is an unbelievable price!

Anyone that believes being tough on a student isn't the way to teach..
has never read the write ups from the graduates to the directors in the SWS yearbook.

Anyone that believes SWS is scary..
has never seen the Artistic Directors at the annual Christmas Party.. last season Artistic Director Mandy was a french magician and Artistic Director Sasha hosted dressed as Santas helper!

Anyone that believes they are not good enough to be accepted to SWS...
has never met with Sasha to discuss our different levels.

Put the rumours to REST!

Whenever you hear a rumour about SWS ask yourself ..
Why would this person speak poorly of SWS??
am I hearing this from someone who just didn't get their way??
am I hearing this from someone who wouldn't want me to get the correct information??
and
Don't believe everything you hear!! Find out for yourself!! Come and see for yourself what SWS is really like!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

Tamara Freethy, Patrick Derry and Sadie Brooker!
All three dancers are graduates of Step with Styles Triple Threat program and ALL THREE dancers were hired by Royal Caribbean for performing contracts!

I have had the pleasure of teaching Tamara Freethy since she was 8 years old. It has been wonderful to see her progress through the years into a phenomenal dancer! Not only is she an incredible dancer but she is also a fabulous teacher and role model! She will be greatly missed! We look forward to her return in April to assist with SWS's competitive team. CONGRATS!

Patrick Derry came to SWS three years ago to catch up with the training that had been lacking at his previous studio and did he ever work hard to get to where he is now! Hard work absolutely pays off! Patrick is a completely different dancer than he was when he first came to SWS. Now a well-rounded performer with great technical skills Patrick is ready to go pro! CONGRATS!

You can find Patrick on You Tube.. he is not just a dancer but as a triple threat graduate of SWS he is a wonderful singer as well!

Sadie Brooker came to SWS three years ago looking for the training she needed to become a professional! One of our hardest working students I had the pleasure of teaching. She is thrilled to have her dreams come true! , and we could not be more proud of her. CONGRATS!

SWS is so very proud and wants to wish Tamara Patrick and Sadie all the best in their travels!
