Grounded In Dance, Ready For The Future: Soweto’s So Dope Dance Academy
So Dope Dance Academy was started to provide a platform for young dancers to learn, grow, and express themselves through dance. Our mission is to empower our students with the skills, confidence, and creativity to succeed in the dance industry and beyond. The aim is to serve youth in disenfranchised communities who face challenges like social ills, gun violence and gangsterism, to empower them through dance training, meditation and nurture their life skills.
