More than 700 guests visited Manhattan's pop-up shoe boutique, including Step Up's celebrity supporters, designers, fashion lovers and media.

DSW Presents: Step Up & Step Out began with a Champagne Preview Brunch for Step Up's top supporters and New York's elite. After a moving performance by Step Up teens, guests of the Champagne Brunch, including Vanessa Minnillo and Kelly Rutherford, were treated to a private shopping hour.

DSW Presents: Step Up & Step Out continues as nearly 1,500 pairs of shoes were sold at 50+% off retail prices, with all net proceeds supporting Step Up's charitable programs. Style lounges surrounded the periphery, with a focus on fashion, fitness and fun. Complimentary refreshments were also served.
