Before we step BEYOND, let’s look back…
DAY 3: Miss Rikki’s Most Memorable Routines
How do you choose favourites from decades of choreography, concerts, costumes and thousands of little dancers? The answer is… you don’t. So instead, Miss Rikki has chosen some of the routines and moments that hold the biggest place in her heart.
6 Years Popcorn
Because sometimes the littlest routines become the most unforgettable.
Fix You
A very special tribute to her dad and a piece that will always mean more than just choreography.
Welcome to Duloc
Because how could this one NOT make the list?!
Send in the Clowns
The OG and the remake. Some routines are just too good not to bring back.
Anything with “my five” in it
No explanation required. If her kids are on that stage, it’s making the list.
2017 USA Tour Performance
Taking Stepping Out across the world and making memories we’ll never forget.
Snugglepot & Cuddlepie
An extra special one. Our very first concert, and then later, the beginning of the big production-style concerts that have become such an important part of who we are.
Every. Single. Finale.
Because after all the planning, rehearsals and craziness, there is nothing quite like seeing all of our kids together onstage.
Lost Without You
Because Miss Rikki LOVES a bit of skirtography!
Dads of Dance
A very special part of our involvement in the wider Dubbo community through the Stars of Dubbo Dance for Cancer fundraiser. There’s something pretty unforgettable about seeing our kids take the stage alongside their dads, creating memories together while supporting such an important cause. Definitely some of the most heartwarming (and entertaining!) performances we’ve had.
Ready Set Penguins
Tiny dancers + penguins = an instant Miss Rikki favourite.
Let Them Be Little
A routine that perfectly captures one of the philosophies at the heart of Stepping Out. Childhood is short, and while we love watching our dancers grow, achieve and become incredible performers, we believe just as strongly in letting them be little. Let them play, be silly, dance with their friends and enjoy every stage of growing up without rushing to the next one. Some of the most specia

Before we step BEYOND, let’s look back…
DAY 2, So Ohh | Handmade hair accessories for dance ‘s Favourite Creations 🪡✨
The queen of detail, flair and all things fabulous 👑
If there’s a costume that needs just one more rhinestone, an extra ruffle, a little more sparkle or something completely outrageous brought to life… Sonya is our girl. 💎
From the first sketch to the final finishing touch, so many of our most unforgettable Stepping Out looks have come from her incredible imagination (and many, MANY hours behind the sewing machine!).
Today, Sonya is opening the archives and sharing some of her favourite creations from over the years. Although asking her to choose favourites may have been our hardest challenge yet.

Before we go BEYOND, let’s look back…
We’re taking a little trip through the Stepping Out archives and revisiting some of the magic that has brought us to where we are today.
First up, Miss Immy’s favourite concert photoshoots 📸✨
From dreaming up the concept, to costumes, characters, locations and bringing each year’s story to life, our concert photoshoots are always one of our favourite parts of the journey.
Choosing just a few favourites was almost impossible… but these ones will always have a little piece of Miss Immy’s heart. 🤍
