The purpose of Sole is to establish an environment that creates a safe, fun, energetic, and
positive atmosphere for children, teens, and young adults to learn and express the art of dance.
I intentionally focus on the internal/external expression of movement and not the competitive
spirit that is so commonly associated with dance. It is my sole purpose to be the best
example/role model that I can possibly be for girls today. Also, it is important to me to help
girls understand why they dance, who they dance for, and to one day think back on their childhood
dance experience as a fulfilling one!
Goals
Multiple Dance Genres Currently Sole offers dance classes (primarily the foundation of ballet) based on age. Soon we desire to expand our classes into specific genres of dance for all ages.
Staff We strive to employ Godly, multi-talented dance instructors who have a passion for dance and children. We want Sole to be a safe place whose doors are opened to as many people as possible. We look forward to having a close-knit staff family!
Merchandise Since there are limited options for purchasing dance apparel in Florence, we hope to sell basic items such as shoes, leotards, tights, and accessories. Our vision is not to open a full retail space, but instead provide the convenience of purchasing what you need while at the studio.
Ballet Barre Update:
We've done it! Click here to learn more.
A ballet barre is a critical tool for use in the training and strengthening of dancers in classical
ballet and other genres. The only functional piece left for our studio is a wall-mounted, double ballet
barre. We have been unable to find exactly what we want and need in a barre during our start up months,
so we're now striving to find the perfect barre for Sole. We currently use a free-standing barre for our
private classes and look forward to having our wall-mounted barre for group classes.

The desire of Sole is that one day my students will have a facility to call their own. This facility
would have all the equipment, space, and supplies needed to better enrich my students and my ability
to teach them. It is my goal to continuously grow and share the joy of dance to not only Florence,
Alabama, but to one day spread this passion across our nation and abroad.
Mission Statement
Enjoy what you do. Move with passion, purpose, and grace. Remember why you dance.
