About Steps of Faith

Steps of Faith Dance Company was formed in June 1997 (visit sofdancecompany.com) in order to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through dance and music. In the Fall of that year, the Steps of Faith Dance Studio was formed to teach proper dance technique in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz.

Steps of Faith uses wholesome, Christian music and prayer in each of our classes to inspire Godly values in our students. A comprehensive classical ballet program using the Vaganova technique has been developed to train young women interested in a professional career in dance as well as those who simply want to use the dance for recreation or for worship. SOF is that place you can have the best of both worlds: receive classical training and a passion for worship!

We are proud to have several of our graduates serving God in missionary roles, serving God through dance and missions, as well as being offered roles in regional professional ballet productions and nationally recognized training programs! We have many studying dance in college as well, and dancing professionally across the US. 

Classes are available for ages two through adults and for all technical levels, including the pre-professional dancer! Starting Fall 2018, you now have the option of recreational level, a moderate training level, and a preprofessional level for Ballet.  During the year, SOF offers early afternoon and morning classes for the convenience of preschoolers and homeschoolers. Scholarships and financial aid are available on a very limited basis.

We are expanding our classes and bringing the beauty of dance and exercise to our community in many different styles! Call for a personalized tour and more information!

Over the years, we have added Worship dance, Modern, Pointe, Hip-Hop, Mom-n-Me, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, and Pilates/Body Conditioning, to our curriculum. Workshops in Ballroom dancing are offered as well as workshops for adults in Barre Fitness, Ball Fitness and Ballet.  
​
OUR HISTORY:
Our studio grew out of a desire to have a dance education program and ministry combining our love for dance and the Lord.  Mrs. Denise Heath and Mrs. Julie Reeves collaborated in the summer of 1997, after working together in secular dance studios.  The ministry performance group rehearsed and performed for the first time, that summer, after which the studio was born.  Led by Mrs. Reeves and the Lord, the ministry became a full scale business landing its own space in the fall of 1998.  Since then, the studio has added many programs for all ages, and has led many mission trips spreading the Gospel through dance.
