5 Reasons to Choose Soar!

Ashley McGlothren • June 12, 2018

Let’s be honest! You have lots of choices when it comes to you or your child’s extracurricular activities. This post is to not put down on other places, but to simply share what makes us special. These five points are designed to help you make an informed decision by knowing who we are and what we do! So, here are the top 5 reasons to choose Soar:

1. We are Christ-centered. Our families sign a policy saying they know that we are a Christian studio. It says that we will often pray and do small devotions with your child. We seek for all that we do to honor the Lord. This belief filters through our departments by the type of music we use and the art projects we create.

2. We have something for all age levels and interests. At registration dates, I smile as I watch one sibling take dance, while another may register for guitar lessons. This past registration, I watched a grandma, mom, and two children, each sign up. Dance, tumbling, guitar, piano, vocal, painting, or drawing – we have you covered!

3. The instructors are top notch! You will often hear me say, “I love my staff!” They are warm, friendly, and highly qualified! They truly love what they do. Another plus to our music department is that you get to select your instructor! Some students stay with the same instructor for years, while other students change it up each semester. It’s up to you and there are no hard feelings amongst the staff!

4. Our dance department believes in modesty. Dance has gotten a bad name. It is often associated with inappropriate costumes and questionable dance moves. However, our gentlemen in the audience never have to look away during our dance recitals. We don’t use any two-piece costumes. The choreography is tasteful and classy (even in hip hop.) 80% of the music is Christian. 10% is instrumental and the other 10% is Broadway/musical theatre.

5. We know our students. We make it a point to learn each of our students’ names and get to know their families. You or your child are not just another enrollment. The staff takes the time to speak with you!

So, here is how to see us in action. First, our music and dance recitals are Saturday, June 16th at the Columbia Theatre. Buy a ticket on the Columbia Theatre’s website and you can see firsthand what we do. Second, watch some videos on our Facebook account. Third, try us out this summer. It is not too late to register. Our summer classes begin on July 2nd at our new, larger location across from the Hammond Airport. Since we are moving, you have to set up an appointment to register. You can reach me at ashley@soarcreativearts.com. Thanks for considering us!

Year 11 Theme!!!

How Registration Works

By Ashley McGlothren • March 2, 2026

We have been having a great 10 th year! I cannot believe it is almost registration for summer and fall! Here is how our registration works: - Current students will receive registration forms in the middle of this month. Turn it in and during the week of Easter, our office manager will contact you to schedule your registration appointment. - New families can call or email us ( shannon@soarcreativearts.com ) beginning March 30 th to request a registration appointment. We will get your name, phone number, and some information on the student. We will also call these families during Easter week to schedule the registration appointment. -Registration appointments begin April 14 th . We schedule these by how long the family has been at Soar. These appointments are 20 minutes and we focus on the family to make sure we get them registered for any summer or fall classes they are wanting to take. -We open up online registration on April 22 nd for anyone that didn’t schedule a registration appointment. -At the appointment, be prepared to tell us what class (including the day and time you are choosing) they are enrolling in. You will need to pay any that apply: summer classes, registration fee for fall, and/or fall art material fee. We can’t hold anyone’s spot without payment. - You can view our summer classes at https://www.soarcreativearts.com/summer-2026 -Our fall dance, tumbling, and art classes are also listed on the website. Recommendation – Classes fill up quickly. I would not wait to register for fall as we can’t guarantee there will be openings. The only exception is those auditioning for competition. They don’t need to do a registration appointment unless they are taking summer classes or fall art. We are looking forward to year 11!!!
