Welcome to StepUp School

Enjoy our positive and joyful atmosphere for dancing. We offer dance lessons for all ages – from babies to over 60-year-olds, from beginners to professionals. We focus on show and street dance styles and offer various classes for body maintenance.

In addition to dance, you can study musical theatre 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.

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.

Important dates of the season

Autumn season 2024 starts on Monday, August 12th and ends on Friday, December 13th. Christmas shows are on Saturday December 14th – Sunday December 15th. You can start also in the middle of the season. After the Christmas show rehearsals start, new choreographies will no longer be rehearsed. Therefore we do not recommend starting 4–6 weeks before the end of the season, unless the class is not performing at the spring shows

During Autumn holiday, from Sunday October 13th to Saturday October 19th only classes for age groups  16+, 20+, 30+, 45+ and 60+ and classes without age limits are held.
