Solstice Dance Academy

Last weekend, Solstice held our second annual recital, and it was magic 🪄 ✨🩷💛 From the talented teachers and choreographers, to the energetic and joyful dancers, to the parents and families who gave selflessly of their time, and our lighting and sound director, Heidi Painter, and photographer, Sam Fritch - this was a true team effort. We are so grateful to everyone for your love, support, and celebration. Your dancers made the show spectacular with their hard work and stage presence. We can wait to share more and get back to the studio ASAP to spread the joy of dance.
