About Us
We're Anna & Hannah. We look quite alike, were born just a few months apart and have been friends since school. Together we run something we're incredibly proud of, Star Steppers. Each week we're fortunate enough to teach over 850 students about dance, drama and singing. This is our absolute passion and something we love doing.

Anna Judge (nee Brunton) & Hannah Gunning (nee Everitt) and a team of amazing teachers plus a whole host of fantastic class assistants, most of which are much loved Star Steppers alumni and past-students. We must also mention the parents who help by, not just being part of Star Steppers, but also chaperones, giving up their time to ensure the shows are a huge success!

Our Classes
We have dance, drama and singing classes in various Surrey locations including…
Cheam, Cobham, Reigate, Horley and Caterham.
Star Steppers classes are run by professionally trained dancers, singers, actors and performers. All our staff have undergone DBS / enhanced CRB checks, and have a wealth of teaching experience. We are insured with public liability and have PRS and PPL music licences. Our local, community-orientated classes are friendly and welcoming. The emphasis is not on exams and competition but on nurturing young talent and providing a stimulating and supportive learning environment. We encourage all our students to participate in end of term productions and local performances as this gives young people a clear aim and a wonderful sense of achievement and pride at the end.
