We make dancing fun, and technique easy. We are bringing people together through dance, and building a safe and friendly dancing community. At Long-Steps there is a style for everyone; from fun and sociable sequences, to smooth and graceful ballroom. We are a dancing community. We might all come from different walks of life, but we all come to Long-Steps to dance, and be a part something bigger. Studio principals and business owners, Ian and Lindsey Little, specialise in Modern Ballroom, Latin American, New Vogue and Sequence. The Long-Steps team is a friendly bunch, brought together by our overall passion for dancing. Fostering a collaboration not competition ethos, the whole team helps their fellow instructors achieve their dancing goals as much as we strive to help our students achieve theirs. So, join the growing Long-Steps Community. Whoever you like to dance with, think Long-Steps, and dance your way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Long at none against Crochet World's 12. Long also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
