History
In 1984, Diane Lachtrupp began Stepping Out Dance Studios with the help of dance teacher Steven Stroud and a customer contact list obtained from Bill Davies, owner of a closing Manhattan dance studio where she had been a student. George Qiao, a student at Stepping Out Studios, acquired the business in 2005.
