We’re also looking for a few people interested in cleaning the studio as part of the Work Study program. If you're interested, please complete the same Scholarship and Work Study Application. If you have any questions or want more details on what cleaning would be please reach out to me, Alex@solecitydance.org.

We wanted to take a moment and spotlight a few classes for this fall. We are offering Contemporary Jazz and Lyrical Jazz for ages 11+ for any level! This is great if you are new to dance and want to try one of these popular styles. It is also a great option if you are looking to take multiple Jazz classes a week!

Conditioning for Dancers is new this year. Elevate your dance performance and reduce injury risk with our Conditioning for Dancers class. We’ll use targeted exercises to build strength, stability, and endurance, focusing on key muscle groups and proper alignment. Expect practical, dance-specific drills that improve control and stamina, helping you perform with greater power and precision.

Int/Adv Ballet on Saturdays with Courtney. This class will be run in two 12-week sessions billed monthly with your regular classes so it counts towards your multi-class discount. This class will expose our upper level ballet students to various ballet styles and techniques and also allow for some flexibility in class structure to tailor it to what the dancers may need each week.

It’s that magical time of year—Nutcracker season! Sole City Dance is thrilled to present our 20th annual Nutcracker, and you won’t want to miss it. Auditions will be held on Saturday, September 6th.

Auditions are open to all dancers ages 7 and up who are actively taking at least one ballet class per week. You do not need to be an SCD student to participate.

SCD students who are 6 years old and enrolled in Dance Works 2 for the 2025–2026 season, and who completed Dance Works 1 in 2024–2025, are also welcome to audition.

Audition registration is in the Portal under events. If you don’t have an active account you can register here.

Please review the performance information before signing up.

We can’t wait to see what magic happens for our 20th year!

Fall leveling recommendations and evaluations have been posted to all accounts for the applicable classes. Our faculty puts a great deal of care, time, and collaboration into each evaluation and class placement. We thoughtfully consider where each class left off in the curriculum and what group will best support your dancer’s growth.

Our goal is to create strong, well-rounded dancers with a solid foundation—giving each student the tools and confidence they need to keep progressing. We always have your dancer’s best interest in mind and are committed to placing them in an environment where they can thrive.

The fall schedule can be view on the website. You can also download a PDF version here.

If a class you are looking to register for is full please add yourself to the waitlist. If we have enough interest or demand we may be able to add additional classes.
