Broadway Dance Center or STEPS?

I recently just cut down on the classes at my hometown dance studio in order to come to the city every saturday. I've taken a few tap and theater classes at Broadway Dance Center. I tried STEPS for the first time this weekend and took a modern, tap, and a theater class. I really loved it. Does anyone have a preference between BDC and STEPS? If so, why?

I prefer BDC bc I like the instructors better. However, my best friend (who's reallllly into ballet & modern) prefers STEPS. Either way, both are great but isn't BDC is bit more expensive???

I used to see Donna McKechnie at Steps all the time. She used to look at me like she knew me but couldn't quite place who I was.

That being said, I prefer BDC. TO me, it seemed less pretentious than Steps.

Thanks for the comments, more will be apprieciated.

Wow, that's pretty cool. Did you ever talk to Donna McKechnie?

Pinky- BDC is $18 and STEPS is $15 for open classes, but in BDC you can certain packages where the classes will be $15 each. It's on the website.

Both are good - matter of preference and what fits into your schedule. I've gone to BDC more, but no real reason other than I discovered it earlier. Try a couple of classes classes at both and see which instructors you like better. At the end of the day, it's the instructors!

Gotham, I totally understand. I was always intimidated by Steps, but never felt self conscious at Broadway Dance. I loved Crystal Chapman's tap classes at Broadway Dance. One could not help but be in a good mood in tap class.

I would always say hello to her, but never stopped to talk with her.
