Stepping Stones School of Dance
About Us
At Stepping Stones we have a range of classes in Portishead and Clevedon suitable for all children aged 18 months onwards.
We ISTD registered and follow the ISTD syllabus alongside Acrobatic Arts.
We offer a fun and friendly dance environment where children can develop their confidence at their own pace. At Steppingstones we encourage children to make new friends and find a love for dance. We offer exams in ISTD Ballet, Modern and tap and Acrobatic Arts once our dancers reach school age.
The school started with just 3 classes a week but quickly grew into a full time dance school, we are now watching the children who joined us at 18 months old turn into independent and confident young dancers who love what they do.
Here at Stepping Stones we believe that all children, no matter how shy, should have the opportunity to dance, so our aim is to give all our children an introduction to the wonderful world of dance and graduate with a strong foundation and passion for the art.

My 2 year old son immediately took to Steph and loved putting the instruments away and getting his little stamp at the end. He loved all the music and would sing them at home too!
