About Us

A Step Above Dance & Music Academy opened in 1988 as an option for dancers and their parents who prefer dance training based in positive reinforcement and concern for the self-esteem and self-image of the young dancer. 

Under the direction of Tami Bisbee, A Step Above Dance & Music Academy provides its students with self-confidence and feelings of accomplishment through excellent training in all areas of dance and music.  The faculty and staff at A Step Above are looking forward to helping you and your child develop a lifelong respect and appreciation for the performing arts.  We are sure your experience with us will be positive, enjoyable and challenging.


A Step Above's brand new, state of the art professional learning environment includes:

  • A dance program offering instruction in ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, and musical theater.

  • A music program offering instruction in piano.

  • A family-friendly waiting area.

  • Five separate dance classrooms, each with portable barres and full-wall mirrors.  All rooms have sprung Marley-covered floors.

  • Observation windows into each classroom as well as TV monitors in our waiting area.

  • Large, separate dressing areas for boys and girls.
