Step 2 This Dance & Performing Arts was founded in Oakley, California in August 2002 and describes itself as Oakley’s award-winning performing arts studio with an award-winning competition team. The studio states that it offers dance and tumbling classes in Oakley, Brentwood, Discovery Bay, and Contra Costa County, along with camps, workshops, auditions, and performance information, plus a calendar with updates and other information. Its mission states that dance is for everyone, that it celebrates diversity, and that it aims to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every dancer feels valued and supported, whether just starting a dance journey or already a seasoned competitor, in a family-oriented, positive atmosphere that builds self-esteem and a love of dance, and that through dance, children can learn values necessary in becoming happy, healthy adults. The program notes that its classes and events bring families together to support dancers and the arts while having a great time. One parent testimonial reports that their daughter was made to feel like family from the moment she entered the studio, and describes the staff as patient, dedicated to the children, sweet, professional, and talented.
