Finding Inspiration at Every Turn
Our Story
Steppin’ Out Ballroom Dance was founded in 2006 and moved to Rancho Cucamonga in 2011.
The founders, Chris and Angela, have been performing, competing, and teaching for over a decade. As the owners of Steppin’ Out Ballroom Dance, they are so proud to bring this exceptional and unique art form to the Inland Empire.
We are a dance family, and all of our students are part of that family. Our entire staff believes in the life-changing effects that dance has on adults, and the powerful, uplifting, and life-long life skills it builds in children.
