Building a SOULful Community & Culture
Because how we move together matters just as much as how we move alone.
At SOUL DE SOUL, we’ve always known that what happens off the stage is just as important as what happens on it. Technique, performance, and talent are essential, but they mean little without the culture and community that support them.
A SOULful community is one rooted in belonging, intention, and care. It’s a space where people feel seen for who they are, not just what they can do. Where growth is celebrated over perfection, and where the journey is just as valuable as the outcome.
We believe that culture isn’t created by accident. It’s built by design, through clear values, consistent actions, and intentional leadership. It lives in how we speak to one another, how we give feedback, how we show up, how we hold space. It lives in our choices, our policies, and our energy.
Here’s what building a SOULful culture looks like to us:
Creating spaces where dancers of all backgrounds feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, and find their voice
Encouraging collaboration over competition
Prioritizing character and connection just as much as clean lines and counts
Teaching our faculty, staff, and dancers to lead with compassion, presence, and purpose
Uplifting one another, on the hard days and the high ones
Our commitment to culture isn’t a trend. It’s our foundation.
Whether you’re a first-time dancer stepping into class or a long-time studio owner attending one of our events, we want you to feel the difference in the energy. We want you to feel cared for, respected, and reminded that you’re part of something meaningful!
Because at the end of the day, we’re not just building a brand. We’re building a home. A place where dancers and leaders can grow, create, and return to themselves through movement.
With heart,
Mackenzie Martin
