About Next Step

Next Step dance studio, located in Evansville, Indiana, is a vibrant facility dedicated to fostering a passion for dance, cheer, and tumbling in students of all ages. Founded on a dream of sharing the joy of movement and building confidence, strength, and flexibility, Next Step has been a cornerstone of the community since its expansion to Evansville in 2011. The studio operates from a spacious 12,000 sq. ft. facility and offers a diverse range of classes, including foundational styles like Jazz, Tap, and Hip-Hop, alongside Ballet, Contemporary, Lyrical, and Acrobatics. Young learners can explore foundational jazz and tumbling in "Pre-School Dance" and "Combo Class: 20/20/20," while "Technique classes" focus on ballet barre and floor work for advanced dancers. Beyond dedicated dance forms, Next Step also provides "Drop-in Tumble" and "Non-Competitive Cheer" classes. Owner Jennifer Collins, a dancer since age three and an instructor since fourteen, established her first facility in 1999 and leads a team of accomplished instructors, including Dorothy Jacquemai, Olga Rodionova, and Kyle Rostan, who bring extensive performance and choreography expertise. The studio proudly offers both recreational dance programs and a competitive "Next Step Dance Company" and competitive cheer programs, which compete at regional and national levels. Next Step is committed to helping students believe in their dreams and themselves through dedicated training and performance opportunities.
