Many of our students are non -dancers <br />and come to us looking for a way to embrace their bodies, find emotional <br />release from stress and/or trauma, or utilize new ways of creative <br />expression. Giving them the opportunity to perform solidifies confidence, <br />body positivity, and is a profoundly healing experience that unites the <br />students and the community. <br />Describe the Soul on Fire Dance is rooted in Our community of Santa Ana.
