The True Gift of Dance

The partners of Stepper2Stepper Entertainment are enthusiastic dance individuals from Cleveland, Ohio with more than a decade of dance experience, event planning, and promotion. We continue to stay excited in playing an instrumental role in the growth and development of dance in the community. Such influences like coaching dance whether Urban Style Ballroom or Chicago Style Steppin', coordinating of workshops, facilitating dance classes, hosting events and or sets. Stepper2Stepper Entertainment is geared to be the next step in an already distinguished dance community. The goal is SIMPLE...to fellowship with a range of dancers nationally that reflect the diversity of Chicago Style Steppin' and unite them into ONE theme. The result is a fluid experience for Chicago Style Steppers to immerse themselves into a world where this dance is not just a dance but it's a lifestyle. We will see you...ALWAYS, the 2nd weekend of July!
