About us
Who is Steppin’ Out?
The Central Coast’s Finest Dance Band is now into its fifteenth year. Our Santa Maria-based ensemble began in 2009 with the shared vision of Junior Juanich and Mike Arriola. To add to their own talents, they’ve brought together the best of musicians in Abraham Robles, Larry Kim, Jineanne Coderre and Bob Santa Cruz.
We have talent, chemistry, and passion! Voted the #1 Band in Northern Santa Barbara County for multiple years, Steppin’ Out performs at a variety of events such as concerts, weddings, corporate parties and birthdays. We consistently draw record-breaking crowds during local Summer Concerts and holiday celebrations, and you should see our shows on the McClintock’s Patio! Our loyal fan following (we affectionately call them “Steppers”) continues to expand with every show and they often share their enthusiasm on our Steppin’ Out Facebook Page.
We believe strongly in the importance of professionalism , enthusiasm and connecting with our audience through personal interaction. As our repertoire evolves, and our reputation grows, so does the “Stepper Nation.” Stay safe, everyone, so we can continue seeing you STEPPIN’ OUT on the dance floor!
