When and why did you begin utilizing Só Dança Plus?
Adiarys Almeida, Principal International Guest Artist and Assistant Director of Hollywood Ballet Academy (HBA)
“This season 2024-2025, we officially partnered with Só Dança. A dream we’ve had since the very beginning! When we opened HBA three years ago, life was a whirlwind. We were learning so much, building from the ground up, and pouring everything we had into our students and school. Partnering with Só Dança was always on our list, but we knew we had to grow into it. We admired the quality of their dancewear, but what truly sets them apart is who they are – a local Florida-based company, Latin like us, and made up of the kindest people. Special shoutout to our dear friend Casey Franklin, who used to work with Só Dança and helped us every step of the way in getting set up. We’re also grateful for the connection, support and shared love for this art. Here’s to more growth, collaboration, and dancing in style!”
Liza Schnitzer, Owner of Dansations Dance Studio, Western New York
“We started using Só Dança+ in September of 2024. We were introduced to Só Dança+ at a dance teacher training expo in Toronto in the summer of 2024, and we were very impressed with the ease of their online store and started a partnership with them in the following weeks.”
How has this service made issues simpler – for you as a studio proprietor, in your academics, in your dancers and in your dance dad and mom?
Schnitzer
“The service has made things much easier for our staff and for our clients. Teachers can easily communicate what dance supplies each class needs by forming an online store for each class subject. Parents go right to our studio’s website and can open the online store to view everything they need for class, including shoes, tights, leotards, etc. All items are shipped directly to the client’s home, and all size returns are simple and easy, handled between Só Dança and the client directly.”
Almeida
“We now have a devoted HBA hyperlink via Só Dança with all of the objects our college students want – from leotard uniforms, skirts, tights, gentle ballet footwear, character footwear and equipment – multi function place. Pointe footwear are the one exception, since everybody wears one thing totally different and prefers to get professionally fitted at an area retailer. But every thing else? No must drive round; it’s all on-line and able to go!
As a trainer, it’s actually lovely to see the dancers in uniform. It creates such a clear, skilled look and offers a robust, unified picture of who we’re at HBA. It’s a small element that makes an enormous distinction in how we current ourselves as a faculty and as artists.”
What is your favourite factor about Só Dança+?
Schnitzer
“We love the jazz and ballet shoes, as well as the tights. We were able to set up a specific page for recital tights, so our clients can click the link we send them and purchase the correct tights for recital day!”
Almeida
“They are so professional, organized and supportive of their clients.”
What would you say to studio house owners who’re contemplating being part of the Só Dança+ program?
