Spring Season: January 2-June 10.
Our Youth Program gives children the opportunity to experience dance in an urban and cultural environment that will. nourish their need for personal self-expression. We give them the support and attention they need, keeping our classes small, exciting, relevant, and fun! The Tribal Tots and Youth Tribe participate in two non-competitive performances a year in December and May.
Tribal Tots(3-6 years)
A playful and magical creative movement class that infuses song, dance, and story from around the world. This is the perfect environment for your child to find freedom in their movement while cultivating creativity, self-discipline, and love for the world through the arts. Class time is spent learning how to warm up the body, doing creative movement exercises, as well as laying a foundation for beginning Ballet, Hip Hop, and West African moves. Children will acquire knowledge of different cultures through songs, storytelling, and dance, dance, dance!
Youth Tribe (7-18 years)
The ultimate dance training program for youth ages 7-18 who want a well-rounded dance education. A safe place for expression, the Youth Tribe will study and perform passionate, exciting, and uplifting movements to a variety of inspiring music. Class focus is on Fusion, incorporating the foundations of Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Hip Hop and African/Latin rhythms. Class always begins with a warm up where we learn to keep the beat, how to breathe, how to stretch properly, isolate our bodies, and find joy in movement. We incorporate across-the-floor activities to really hone in on specific techniques related to the style we are studying. We tend to focus on one style each month, and at times get really inspired to fuse in others! Youth get the opportunity to see how different styles can be combined when we create choreography for the love and dance and performance.
Youth Tribe Company (11-18 years)
Our core group of dancers who have trained in Youth Tribe and/or have been placed or auditioned. YTC has the opportunity to discover their choreographic voice, perfect their performing skills, and improve their ability to do challenging choreography. YTC are leaders of Sol Vida who are multi-talented and often have the opportunity to perform several times throughout the year at various festivals and events. We love to see the YTC shine doing what they are most passionate about, there are often opportunities to incorporate their other interests with the work of our company so that their whole voice can be expressed and heard. YTC is one of the best youth dance programs in the country, when you see and meet them you will know why! We will hold auditions for new members of the YTC from 6:00-6:30 pm on Monday, January 2, 9, 23 and 30. Download the Audition Form for more information.
