Soul In Motion Dance Company’s Recreational Program offers a fun, supportive, and structured environment for dancers of all ages and levels to explore movement, build confidence, and develop strong foundational skills, all with a more flexible commitment than our competitive team.
Our recreational program includes classes in jazz, acro, hip, hop, and ballet across Junior and Intermediate levels, allowing dancers to progress and grow within a well-rounded training framework.
Throughout the season, dancers will attend anywhere from 1 to 4 weekly 60-minute classes. Each class works toward a year-end showcase, offering dancers a meaningful performance opportunity to celebrate their progress and experience the excitement of being on stage.

Remember all those hours you poured into your training as a competitive dancer? The early mornings, late nights, the discipline, the passion… the feeling of being completely in your element.
Maybe you went on to teach. Maybe you danced professionally. Or maybe life moved forward and dance slowly became something you used to do. Back to the Barre is your invitation to return.
This intermediate–advanced adult program is designed specifically for former competitive and retired professional dancers who are ready to reconnect with their training in a supportive, inspiring, and elevated environment. No pressure, no expectations, just the opportunity to move again, refine your technique, and rediscover the joy of dancing.
With 4, 1-hour classes offered per week, you can choose the level of commitment that fits your lifestyle, whether you’re easing back in or ready to fully immerse yourself again. This program includes classes in jazz, lyrical, tap, and ballet (with a pointe option for those interested).
And for those who miss the stage…optional performance opportunities will give you the chance to step back under the lights and experience that feeling all over again.
