Recital Information

Dear Parents and Dancers,

Always mindful of our studio philosophy, “bringing out the best in every child,” Soul2Sole Dance, Inc. is very proud of its annual dance recitals.  The entire staff and administration is committed to directing a professional dance experience which gives each dancer a chance to show their parents, families, and friends the results of their hard work, dedication, and progress made through the year.  In addition, dance performances help build self-esteem, self-assurance, teamwork, and a general sense of confidence.  These attributes are life long lessons that carry over into school and social settings.

Please take the time to read through all recital information listed after the directions to Christian Heritage Academy.

Looking forward to a wonderful weekend,
Debbie Kramer
