NSDS Calendar

October Value:
Give Back to our Community - Trunk or Treat

We give back to the community by fostering social connection, creativity, and support for both mental and physical wellness. Through the arts, we encourage understanding and inclusivity and bring people of all ages and backgrounds together to learn, perform, watch, and appreciate the power of artistic expression.

Parking Lot Update:

Our parking lot will be especially busy during the first few weeks! Please help us keep everyone safe and traffic moving smoothly.

  • Drop-off/Pick-up: Please use the studio entrance rather than having young dancers cross the parking lot to meet your vehicle.

  • Need parking? Additional parking is available in the lower Jubilee parking lot, with a sidewalk leading to the studio.

  • Park only in designated spaces. Please do not park along lot edges, near the entrance, in fire lanes, or in handicap spaces without authorization.

Due to ongoing parking concerns, Next Step is working with the Franklin Police Department to monitor the area, and vehicles parked in non-designated areas may be ticketed.

Thank you for your patience during these busy first few weeks and for helping us keep the studio safe and accessible for everyone!

Want a Little More Dance Without a Bigger Commitment?

Does your dancer love class and want more opportunities to learn, improve, and challenge themselves?

Our One-Day Choreography & Technique Workshops are a great way for dancers ages 6+ to add extra training throughout the year — no Dance Company participation required!

These workshops are especially great for recreational dancers who want to do a little more but aren't ready or able to commit to a competitive program.

Cost: $30 per workshop

Choreography Workshops
