Our goal
The Founder
As the founder of Society Dance, I believe in creating transformative experiences that go beyond technique—spaces where artistry, culture, and community converge. My vision for the Atlanta dance scene centers on bringing world-class instruction to our city while honoring the authentic cultural roots of each dance form.
I established Society Dance to bridge the gap between accessible learning and professional-level training. Through carefully curated intensive experiences like IntensiveX, we connect our community with internationally recognized artists who bring both technical mastery and cultural authenticity to their instruction.
My approach is rooted in the belief that dance education should be holistic—encompassing not just movement, but musicality, cultural appreciation, and personal growth. I’m passionate about creating events that feel more like artistic journeys than typical workshops, where participants leave not only with new skills but with a deeper connection to the art form and each other.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Honor the artistry and create sacred space for transformation
AUTHENTIC CULTURAL CONNECTION
We prioritize working with artists who bring genuine cultural background and lived experience to their instruction, ensuring our community learns from authentic sources while respecting the origins of each dance form.
DEPTH OVER BREADTH
We believe in creating immersive, comprehensive experiences rather than surface-level workshops. Our intensives are designed for meaningful skill development and lasting transformation, attracting dancers who value quality over convenience.
COMMUNITY THROUGH EXCELLENCE
We foster an inclusive environment where high standards elevate everyone. By bringing together serious dancers committed to growth, we create a supportive community that challenges and inspires each member to reach their potential.
ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE DESIGN
Every element—from venue selection to cultural dining experiences—is thoughtfully curated to create memorable experiences that honor both the art form and the artists. We believe learning happens best in inspiring, well-designed environments.
ACCESSIBLE MASTERY
We make professional-level instruction accessible to the Atlanta dance community and beyond, offering various pass options and payment structures that allow dedicated dancers to invest in their growth regardless of their current level or financial situation.
