Welcome to StepUp School

Enjoy our positive and joyful atmosphere for dancing. We offer dance lessons for all ages – from 2 to over 60-year-olds, from beginners to professionals. We focus on show and street dance styles and offer various classes for body maintenance. We even have some bilingual (Finnish and English) dance classes for children, youth and adults as well as some English speaking classes for youth and adults. Read more about bilingual classes ››

In addition to dance, you can study musical theatre (in Finnish) either in Skene Musical Theatre School programs or in open Skene classes for children.

We have two dance schools, one in Sörnäinen (Helsinki) and another one in Matinkylä (Espoo). In addition we offer classes in a pop-up school in Tapanilan Urheilukeskus. Pop-up school doesn’t have a reception and we don’t sell tickets there.

Schedule – Spring 2025 Last update December 12th 2024. Check the latest schedule from our website.

Classes can be paid with a single ticket, serial tickets, seasonal ticket or with an Anytime card. We highly recommend trying your first dance class with a single ticket. Tickets can be bought in our online store and at receptions in Sörnäinen and Matinkylä dance schools. At reception you can also pay your own classes with Liikuntaseteli ”exercise voucher” or by other personal benefit vouchers, electronic cards, and/or electronic vouchers provided to you by your employer (Smartum, Edenred, ePassi and Tyky-seteli).

Kurkkaa saliin week and taking pictures on classes 

We will have a “Kurkkaa saliin” week (Parents’ Observation week) on all of the children’s groups (ages 3 to 9) from March 3rd to March 9th. Parents can take a peek of their child’s class during that week. Taking pictures on classes without a special permit from the teacher is allowed only during Kurkkaa saliin week. StepUp School’s Special Training Programs will not participate in Kurkkaa saliin week.

Dance clothing and other equipment

Wear something comfortable to move in that you don’t mind getting sweaty (eg. normal indoor sports clothes like sweatpants and T-shirt). Bring water, in a bottle that closes securely. Each of our premises has dressing rooms and shower facilities. A gym towel may come in handy.

Some dance lessons can be attended barefoot (eg. show, lyrical jazz, contemporary dance) and some classes require soft sneakers or sneakers especially designed for dance (street, boys’ club, commercial). Outdoor shoes are not allowed. You can attend your first class barefoot.

We ask parents who bring small children to class to note that if your child needs help in the changing room, you must use the changing room according to the parent’s own gender.
