STEP OUT
A Manchester dance programme to improve confidence, fitness, and mindset

returning In 2026

What is Step Out?

Step Out is our one-of-a-kind programme in North Manchester that works to improve confidence, fitness and mindset through dance.

Inspired by our ‘Making Believe’ Mission, his passion for teaching dance to adult beginners, and the Celine Dion song ‘Taking Chances’, JJ developed the ‘Step Out Dance Bootcamp’. The 5-day programme for adult beginners and improvers ran for the first time in the summer of 2025. It is returning in 2026 alongside Step Out Junior. A plan for Step Out Schools is in development for 2027.

Across 5 consecutive 2-hour days, participants learn a series of routines and then film a professionally-produced dance compilation reel.

The reel is something learners can proudly share with friends and family, or keep as a reminder of what you can do when you invest in yourself, and step out of your comfort zone.

The bootcamp is not for the faint-hearted.

It’s designed to challenge you to push yourself beyond what you think you can achieve physically, mentally and technically.

We use a range of mindfulness, reflection and goal setting techniques throughout the week to give you structures that can be used to achieve your goals in any aspect of your life.
