Dance All Summer Long with Steps of Faith

Steps of Faith Dance Studio is limbering up for summer camp and filling up with little dancers faster than you can say Riverdance.

Steps of Faith Dance Studio is a locally owned and operated Christian-based dance studio that has been serving Cartersville since 1997. They offer a wide range of pre-professional and recreational dance instruction for children and adults of all ages and experience levels.

This year’s summer camp is especially exciting because it’s the first year Steps of Faith will hold summer camp in their brand new state-of-the-art studio located conveniently on Cartersville’s west side.  

The summer dance camp program focuses mainly on children ages 3 to 10, and is offered in convenient weekly installments. In addition to dance lessons, children will be given the opportunity to participate in arts and crafts activities that help to reinforce dance principles and of course, snack time.

Summer intensive dance programs are available for kids ages 7 and up who are more serious and experienced dancers. These programs tend to focus predominately on ballet, but jazz, musical theatre, tap and other types of dance are offered as well.

Summer intensive classes also are offered in week-long installments.   

Ballet shoes, leotards and tights are the required dance code for class participation. Tap shoes for summer camp are available for rent through the Steps of Faith studio.

Camp schedules, registration and payment options can all be found on the website.

“Steps of Faith is one of the nicest facilities in northwest Georgia,” said studio owner and director Julie Reeves. “We’re a welcoming place for kids to come and have fun. What sets us apart is that we’re a Christian-based studio and we try to teach the value of discipline and mentorship both inside and outside the studio walls.”

Throughout the year, Steps of Faith appeals to students of all ages.

“We have a mom and me class and classes for 2-year-olds all the way to adults. We have adult only classes, many of which are geared toward beginners,” said Reeves. “We have classes for pre-professionals that can help students get into college dance programs, and classes for students who just want to have fun learning to dance.”

Reeves feels that dance is an integral part of our community and a fantastic summer camp opportunity.

“I think the younger kids get involved in dance the better off they will be in school. They learn to take direction and the value of self expression, not to mentions large motor skills that cross barriers for other sports,” said Reeves. “It’s great exercise and the kids enjoy getting up and moving. We give kids a way to give back to their faith through dance as well.”
