To our Steppin’ Up Dance Studio family,
We have some difficult news to share.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we were informed by our landlords that our rent will be doubling. This news came as a complete surprise to us, and unfortunately, it leaves us with no choice but to make adjustments in order to keep our doors open.
One of the things we have always been most proud of at Steppin’ Up Dance Studio is keeping the tuition affordable. For years, we have intentionally kept our rates low because we believe every child deserves the opportunity to dance, regardless of their family’s income. We know how important those opportunities are, and we have made sacrifices to make dance accessible to as many families as possible.
Because we had no indication that such a significant increase was coming, we were unable to prepare and make gradual adjustments over time. Obviously we cannot double our tuition cost, that is not how we want to do business. We want to make the increase as manageable as possible this next semester while still covering our expenses as we deal with this unfortunate reality.
Please know that this decision was not made lightly. We know that any increase affects our families, and we are truly sorry for the burden it may create.
What many people may not know is that Steppin’ Up Dance Studio is approaching a major milestone. In 2028, we will celebrate 25 years of serving the Evart community. For nearly a quarter century, this studio has been a place where children have built confidence, friendships, discipline, creativity, and lifelong memories. We would love nothing more than to see the studio not only reach that anniversary but continue thriving for many years beyond it.
If you would like to help support our mission, there are several ways you can make a difference:
🩰Register your child for dance classes.�☀️ Sign them up for summer camp.�🎓 Contribute to our scholarship program to help make dance accessible to more families.�📣 Share our posts and help spread the word about what we do.
Your support over the years has meant everything to us. Together, we have built something special, and with your continued encouragement, we hope to keep providing a place where children can learn, grow, and shine for generations to come.
Thank you for understanding and for standing with us during this unexpected challenge.
With much love and gratitude,
The Steppin’ Up Dance Studio Family
