MOMENTUM | 26-27 NATIONAL TOURConvention Information
At SOUL DE SOUL, our pricing is a direct reflection of the experience we are committed to delivering. Our pricing reflects a commitment to keeping this experience within reach, while creating something that is intentionally different from the traditional convention model; more time, more care, and a deeper experience for every dancer. Every detail of our weekend is built to create an environment where dancers feel seen, supported, and elevated, not just in their technique, but in their confidence, artistry, and sense of belonging. This is a premium, purpose-driven experience. And our pricing reflects the depth of that commitment.
The Value of the Weekend
Ages & Registration Fees
Because our focus is on growth, artistry, and experience—not competition—suggested ages serve as a guide rather than a rule.
We encourage studio directors to place dancers in the level that will best support their development, challenge them appropriately, and allow them to feel confident and comfortable in the space.
Reservations
To ensure a smooth and well-organized experience for all participants, reservations are required for our conventions and showcase unlock eligibility for exclusive pricing for studios. This helps us better manage event capacity, plan the schedule, and guarantee that everyone has a spot secured for their chosen event. By making a reservation, you’re helping us create a more personalized and streamlined event for your studio and dancers, ensuring that we can provide the best possible experience for all involved. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in reserving your spot early, as this allows us to properly prepare for a successful event.
Reservations are only available to studios.
A minimum of 5 dancers is required to reserve spots.
Reservations are non-refundable and accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Once you submit the reservation and pay the deposit, your reservation will be shown as a credit on your DanceBug dashboard. The deposit amount will be credited towards your final registration fees. Please note that you cannot apply any former credit toward the deposit.

Class Genres
At SOUL DE SOUL, we celebrate individual artistry.
You’ll notice that we do not label classes as a particular “genre” so that dancers can enter each class with an open mind and can experience the artistry of our faculty. We believe this helps dancers to view art and movement through a wider lens, and in turn helps strengthen their own artistry! we include faculty’s instagram names on our schedule so that dancers may look up the artistry of our faculty so they can feel prepared for class. The types of genre’s you might see throughout our weekend are listed below as a loose guideline for dancers to understand how to pack, prepare their dance bag, and feel like they feel supported in a successful approach to the weekend.
