Looking for a fun, frenzy-free birthday party idea? How about stepping over to our house and letting us do
all the work for you? New this year at Footsteps are birthday parties, placing your birthday child in the
spotlight! It doesn't get easier for parents: Just pick a theme, send the invitations, and bring the birthday
princess--we do all the rest. You don't even have to clean up! Check out the details below, then contact us
to schedule your party today.
Footsteps Family Dance Center is offering a choice of themes for our birthday parties:
Ballerina Princess
Rainbows & Ribbons
Guitar Star
We can make your princess's dreams come true in her very own Ballerina Princess Birthday Party. Our
game (don't worry, the frogs aren't REAL!), and a princess craft. A castle-cake makes every birthday girl
feel like the precious princess that she is! Each lady in waiting goes home with a goody-bag full of
mementos from the fun time with her friends at Footsteps. We take care of every detail--you'll feel like the
studio gets transformed into a pink & lavender fairyland for a ballet-based dance class, a frog-kissing
queen as we serve your family and make your princess's day beyond special! Recommended for kiddos
ages 4-8.
For girls with a funkier sensibility, Footsteps offers Guitar Star Birthday Parties. In the spirit of Hannah
Montana and High School Musical, we provide everything your daughter and her friends need to live out
their fantasy of being pop stars! They'll enjoy a G-rated hip hop dance class, popping a pinata, and
making their own microphones, which they'll need in their own music video!  The birthday diva & her
guests will be able to watch their video right away on our TV, and share it with family & friends on
YouTube. The disco ball, a guitar cake, and a goody-bag stuffed with keepsakes make each guest feel
like a star! Recommended for kids ages 9-12.
Girls who have a heart for God may opt for our Rainbows & Ribbons Parties. Focusing on thanking Jesus
for the years on earth He has given to your precious child, this party is held amid a rainbow of balloons
and streamers and includes a worship dance class to Christian music, a rainbow pinata, and a cross craft.
The cake is even cross-shaped in honor of Him who gave His life for your child! We'll shower you, your
child, and her guests with blessings as we send you all home with goody-bags of Christ-honoring favors.
Let us help you point your princess to the Lord as you celebrate the day He gave her life! Recommended
for kids ages 4 and up.

*A wonderful time for you & your guests!
Nothing. Seriously! Well, except for the invitations. You provide those and mail them to your guests,
along with a emergency contact/liability waiver form for the guests' parents to sign & send to the party
with their child, then just c'mon over with the star of the show, the birthday child, and we'll take good
care of all of you!

We do ask that birthday parents greet their guests & write a name tag for them upon arrival, as well as
collect their liability waivers and direct them to the dressing room to leave their coat/shoes before
entering the studio. After that, it's all up to us!

Emergency contact/liability waiver forms can be downloaded & printed from our Downloads page.
To book a Footsteps birthday party, please either call our office at 614-883-5599 during business at
8714 Cotter St, Lewis Center, OH 43035
to reserve your date.

Footsteps Family Dance Center is a busy place, so available weekends for birthday parties are limited.
Please select a first and second choice from among the dates below; all are either Fridays or
Saturdays. We are closed on Sundays to be with our own families!

We ask that you schedule your party 3 or more weeks in advance, if possible.

Full payment of $235 ($225 for current Footsteps students) is due upon booking; additional guests
over the limit of 10 may be paid for at the party, but please let us know when you make your
reservation how many guests you plan to invite, so we can adequately prepare. We accept cash,
checks, Visa, MC, Discover, and Paypal.

Cancellations made within 10 days of your reserved date will be refunded, less a $25 cancellation fee.
You may reschedule to another date; however, the $25 cancellation fee will still apply, because we will
have lost our chance to re-book your original party time! We can't imagine why you'd cancel
anyway--Footsteps offers the best parties in town!

date with no penalty. Book your party today!

our 3 rings of birthday activities: a clown pinata, a circus birthday game, and a jump, juggle, & tumble
dance class to fun music. Each guest gets her face painted, plus she goes home with a goody-bag
overflowing with favors from the Big Top! A carousel cake that rotates like the real thing will make the
kiddos squeal with delight. Recommended for kids ages 4 and up.
Fairies & Butterflies
Spring has sprung anytime of year at our Fairies & Butterflies Parties! Tinkerbells are invited to join us in
the studio, which gets transformed into a flower garden paradise, as we celebrate the birthday child's

song. Even the cake is smothered in flowers & butterflies! Every pixie goes home with a goody-bag
brimming with butterfly party favors. Recommended for kids ages 4 and up.
Custom Theme
If your birthday child has a theme that would make her dreams come true and we don't have it listed here,
please don't hesitate to suggest it. We LOVE to throw parties, and new ideas are always fun! We'll put it
together for you if at all possible--just ask! Additional fees apply for custom themes.
Jungle Jam
Even the lions roar with delight at our Jungle Jam birthday parties! We'll take your child on a safari of fun
with rain forest decor, a jungle animal craft & game, a hip hop-based dance class to movement-inspiring
tribal music, and a goody-bag bursting with favors that would please any Tarzan or Jane. Even the pinata
Recommended for ages 7 and up.
Birthday at the Beach
Even when Ohio weather is sub-zero, birthday guests can enjoy a luau at the beach at a Footsteps beach
party! Decorate-your-own flip-flops, making your own grass skirt, and a beachy pinata are just some of
the activities that kiddos get to do together, all amidst our tropical decor. The jazz-based dance class
which naturally involves the Limbo is set to island music and is almost as much fun as swimming in the
sea! We can't provide the real ocean, but you'll think you're looking at it when you see our beach birthday
cake. Beachcombers each get a goody-bag full of flip-flops, hibiscus doo-dads, & other tropical trinkets.
Recommended for ages 6 and up.
Pearl the Pink Pirate
The ship's captain is hereby commissioned to invite her mates to our Pink Pirate Party, where all the

chest cake, and playing pirate games surrounded by pink pirate decorations.
Each pirate will sail away
with a loot bag full of swashbuckling goodies!
Recommended for ages 4 and up.
Broadway Bound
If your birthday child has stars in her eyes and you can't get her to stop singing and dancing around the
house, then a Broadway Bound birthday party at Footsteps might be just the ticket! We roll out the red
carpet with a video clip from the longest-running Broadway musical in history,
Cats, then assist our own
kitties with cat crafts, a musical theater dance to a song from the show, a cat-themed pinata, and even a
cute cat birthday cake! Each guest even gets their own mini-Tony Award, along with other Broadway &
cat-themed favors in a goody-bag to take home. Book your performance today! Recommended for ages 7
