I am so excited to invite you to this special event. One of our greatest gifts is passing on our love for dance to our children. This totally unique experience is designed to strengthen bonds and a new appreciation for the dance family!
Dear Dance Teacher Friends,
As the son of a dance teacher, I always cherished the times when my mom and I could attend dance conventions or workshops together. It was an opportunity to bond over our shared love of dance, away from the rest of the studio kids.
The Soul Dancer Conference is a fantastic event for dance teachers who have children with a passion for dance. This conference provides a great opportunity for teachers and their children to bond while learning about all aspects of dance.
With a wide range of classes, seminars, panel discussions, and sessions specifically designed for parents and teachers alike, this unique conference is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in all things dance, deepen their understanding of the art form, and strengthen their connections with each other. Whether you're a dance teacher or a studio owner, the Soul Dancer Conference is an ideal way to share your love of dance with your children and to enhance your expertise in the field. Let me know if you have questions (rheejgold@gmail.com). Hope to see you there--Rhee
It's time for Soul
No numbers, no comparisons, no judgment, just the joy of dance!

This was a great event! All my dancers felt comfortable enough to try new styles of dance and my own daughter got in the car, said she had so much fun and fell asleep. No talking about awards, no why, how, next time, just pure FUN! Thank you for that! 💖💙
