Building Skills, Confidence, and Character Through Every Class
Our Junior classes challenge dancers to sharpen their coordination, strength, and balance through detailed technique work and full-body movement. With every leap, turn, and stretch, students gain greater body control while developing the athletic foundation that supports all styles of dance.
As dancers work toward new skills, they experience moments of success that fuel self-esteem. Whether they’re tackling a tricky combo or performing on stage, our encouraging approach helps Juniors grow their inner confidence, learn from setbacks, and take pride in their progress.
In every Soul 2 Sole class, dancers find more than just choreography—they find connection. Juniors learn to collaborate, support their classmates, and share in group accomplishments. These experiences build not only strong team habits, but lasting friendships and a deep sense of belonging.

In these 30-45 minute classes, students build on their foundations with more refined movement, stronger technique, and a deeper understanding of musicality. But it’s not just about the steps. At Soul 2 Sole, we teach with heart—helping every dancer grow in confidence, discipline, and teamwork. Your child will feel seen, supported, and celebrated as they explore a variety of styles and discover the joy of dance in a community that cares.
What Makes Soul 2 Sole the Right Fit

Discover the Soul 2 Sole Difference
Compare Junior Level dance classes at Soul 2 Sole with traditional sports to see how our approach offers a more well-rounded, encouraging, and character-building experience for your child’s development during these formative years.
Many youth sports programs concentrate on physical performance and competitive success, often missing opportunities to nurture emotional growth, creativity, and personal development.
In highly competitive settings, kids who are still developing their skills may feel left out or discouraged, especially when playing time is based on ability alone.
While competition can be healthy, overemphasis on winning can take the joy out of participation and reduce focus on personal growth, teamwork, and effort.
With large teams and time constraints, coaches may not be able to provide individualized instruction that supports each child’s specific needs or learning style.
Our Junior Level dance classes build strength, coordination, and flexibility while also nurturing confidence, musicality, and emotional expression in a supportive, age-appropriate way.
Every dancer is valued. We focus on helping each student improve and feel successful—regardless of starting point—so all children feel included and empowered.
Our classes celebrate effort, growth, and creativity. Dancers are guided to enjoy the learning process while gaining life skills like responsibility, patience, and perseverance.
With smaller class sizes and trained instructors, your child receives consistent, personalized feedback to help them grow—not just as a dancer, but as a person.
Building Technique Through Grace and Structure
In our Junior Level Ballet class, dancers ages 8–10 begin to refine their movement with a focus on alignment, control, and proper placement. Using a blend of traditional exercises and age-appropriate combinations, students grow their understanding of classical technique while improving balance, posture, and muscle memory. These classes are not only about learning ballet—they’re about developing confidence, discipline, and body awareness in a nurturing space. With guidance from experienced instructors, students are challenged to move with purpose, listen closely to music, and take pride in their progress both at the barre and beyond the studio.
Building Energy, Rhythm, and Confidence
Our Junior Jazz class is a favorite among dancers ages 8–10 who are ready to explore bold movement and dynamic choreography. In this upbeat, high-energy class, students dive into foundational jazz techniques including isolations, kicks, leaps, and turns—all while learning how to interpret music with precision and personality. Beyond technique, dancers strengthen their coordination, flexibility, and stamina in a fun, encouraging environment. With a strong emphasis on performance quality and rhythm, students begin to discover their own style and voice through movement—developing not only as dancers but as confident young individuals.
Developing Control Through Motion and Momentum
Our Junior Hip Hop class channels energy, rhythm, and personal style into a fun and focused environment for dancers ages 8–10. Rooted in street dance, funk, and jazz influences, this class helps students develop coordination, timing, and musicality through upbeat choreography and skill-building drills. Dancers explore isolations, footwork, and strength-based movement patterns that challenge their endurance and boost their confidence. Each week includes a high-energy warm-up and foundational exercises that sharpen precision and foster safe, powerful movement. Dancers will build the control and flexibility needed for the athletic demands of Hip Hop. Through every beat and routine, dancers grow in discipline, resilience, and self-expression—lessons that stick both on and off the floor.
Shaping Character in a Connected Class Environment
At Soul 2 Sole, we believe growth happens best in a space where students feel supported, both by their teachers and their peers. In our Junior Level classes, dancers learn that encouragement, kindness, and teamwork are just as important as perfecting a step. Whether working together on choreography or cheering each other on during skill-building exercises, students experience the joy of belonging to something bigger than themselves. Through regular performances and classroom collaborations, dancers build trust, practice leadership, and gain the confidence to share their strengths with others—on stage and in everyday life.

Ms. Tanya has a true love for dance and it shows in her teaching. My daughter loves dance but mostly Ms. Tanya!
My daughter has danced at this studio for 6 years. The dance teachers are not only wonderful teachers/instructors but great role models. They all treat the kiddos with kindness and respect.
The studio offers so many styles for all different age groups at recreational and competitive levels. They do very well at utilizing many forms of communication so you are never left not knowing what is happening next. Whether it be class related, upcoming special events or whatever else that may come up they try their best to let you know. Owner, Tanya has grown her studio to two locations which opens the opportunity for dance to two great communities and their surrounding areas. I am so grateful to have this studio and the opportunities and experiences it is bringing my daughter.
