Changes

Learn of the upcoming changes coming to Soar!

As Soar is in its 8th year, we have definitely had to make changes along the way. We have added and expanded classes throughout the years. We now have a series of new changes coming along that we feel are best for Soar.

The most unexpected change is that we are stopping the music department at Soar. For the past three years, we have found it difficult to maintain music staff and our music numbers have been continually declining. For the spring, we only had around 20 music students sign up. It just became where it was not economically feasible to continue with music. We feel our time should be devoted to the programs that are continuing to grow. We will still be offering dance, tumbling, and art.

Dance and tumbling are our biggest department at Soar. We will be expanding this for the fall. We are planning for three Beginner classes as these always fill up. We also plan on making a recreational Teen class. This would be for ages 12 and up. It would be a combo ballet, tap, and jazz class. It is meant to be the next level up from our Intermediate class. Lastly, we have always made our Hip Hop Crew minimum age be 8 years old. We will be lowering this to age 5.

Our summer session will be different. In the past, we have done each class once per week for a total of five weeks. This summer, we will have more of a camp format. There will be a different theme on select weeks and the classes will go from Monday through Thursday afternoon. Ideas we have include Animal Drawing Week, Hip Hop Week, Tumbling Week, etc. The goal is that more students will be able to participate without interrupting other summer plans they may have.

We are currently still enrolling for spring art classes. These start on January 9th. We also have openings right now in Tumblling Tots. Information about next summer and fall will be released around February!

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!!!
