Sole Artistry is an opportunity we provide for students, ages 4 & older, of all levels, who are dedicated to their art, love performing and want to step up to the next level! These students have the opportunity to spend more time in the classroom learning and enriching their passion for dance and tumbling! We also provide many opportunities to perform, travel, participate in team events and attend workshops where they learn from choreographers and performers seen in movies, television, and on Broadway stages! We participate in several regional competitions during the Winter – Spring season and at the end of our spring competition season, we attend Nationals where we get to compete against many other great dancers across the country! Competitions are a great opportunity where we get to show our love for our art, perform and show off our talents, show our studio spirit and get inspired by other performers! During the Summer season, we participate in many local competitions at fairs and other fun community events and hope to qualify to compete at the Iowa State Fair in which the winners receive high cash prizes and perform live on television! Being an AIDC Sole Artistry performer is a great tool to help students improve not only their technique and quality of movement, but also earn life skills, gain confidence, and be a part of their artistic community. It is a wonderful learning experience for any student!!
