Going Into Year 10!!!

We are making preparations to head into Year 10!!!! 10 years – I estimate close to 800 students have taken classes with us! Sometimes, it feels like it flew by, but in other ways I feel each of those days. When we opened in 2016, my children were seven and five. Now, they are finishing up high school!

All of this has led to our Year 10 theme, “Legacy.” The Scripture we will be using is from Psalm 1:3, “That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither-whatever they do prospers.” This scripture is my hope for our students and for the studio itself. That the morals and Scripture based teachings we have tried to give our students will continue to grow in their souls. We hope they would be like a tree planted by the water and thriving.

Another purpose behind this is that Soar is more than any one person. It has been a blessing watching previous Soar students be trained to be teachers. Miss Hope and Miss Sara were some of our first students. This past year, Miss Laney completed her internship. We are excited that two student assistants who have assisted for years are being promoted to teachers. The first is Lauren Linton. Lauren took art classes for five years with us. She has opened her own art business, Linway Visual Arts. She has spent the last two years assisting classes at Soar, subbing when needed, and hosting one day clinics. We are excited to see her become our art teacher for this summer and next year.

Miss Emily Jones has danced with Soar for the past 8 years. She has been a competition dancer for multiple of those years. She will be teaching one preschool class and one beginner class next year. She is already an assistant that our younger students love!

Raising up teachers from within our studio helps to ensure that they teach with the same values and quality you have come to expect from Soar. This also helps us spread our branches even further. We hope you are a part of year 10 with us and a part of our “Legacy!”

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!!!
