How SOAR Works

We collaborate with elementary schools, charter academies, and arts-focused programs across Columbus to deliver high-impact dance outreach. Each partnership is tailored to fit the school’s schedule, goals, and student needs.

SOAR classes are led by master teaching artists trained in the National Dance Institute (NDI) pedagogy. Through rhythm, choreography, and storytelling, students build confidence, discipline, and teamwork—while having a blast.

Every class is more than just dance. It’s a celebration of effort, respect, and resilience. Students learn to support one another, take creative risks, and discover their own voice—on and off the dance floor.

Each SOAR cycle culminates in a joyful, high-energy performance that showcases student growth and brings families together. It’s not about perfection—it’s about pride, progress, and the power of showing up.

We work closely with schools to track student engagement, social-emotional growth, and community feedback. Our goal: to make every child feel seen, valued, and inspired to soar.
