Soul Dance

Soul Dance carries distinctive era markers in its Soul Step technique, reflecting influences from tap, jazz, Latin, Bebop, and Swing styles — a blended character drawing from each tradition.

Soul groove distinguishes itself through flowing, continuous motion distinct from direct grooves. The technique engages the commonly used parts of the body such as the chest and neck, but also compression and counter-tension through the torso.

Movement quality resembles honey — silky, carrying a trace of thickness, continuous and unbroken.

Soul Dance requires seemingly contradictory yet coexisting qualities: relaxed yet powerful movement, crisp yet flowing footwork, and open yet controlled extension. At a glance the movement looks simple — but in reality the head, shoulders, hips and every other part of the body are all participating in it.

Soul Dance's compatibility with every street dance style, particularly Waacking and Locking, alongside its distinctive character, attracts learners globally. Soul Step integrates seamlessly into any style without feeling incongruous.
