Master your Movez®

Students practice Stepz and upon mastering their skills are invited to the Making Movez® Ceremony to move on to the next level. In their next Move, students continue to build on their previous knowledge and develop, enhance and evolve their physical and mental dance abilities.

Each Step has an identifiable awards button that is presented upon the dancer’s proficiency and awarded at the pinning ceremony. Stepz pinning ceremonies are held in class twice per semester prior to the bi-annual Making Movez® Ceremony.
