Question 2

2. What are the workshop requirements?

Accepted Answer

A typical ITH Workshop requires a minimum of 75 dancers, not including scholarship recipients.

Dancer Requirements
While we encourage dancers to bring their authentic selves to class and do not require a specific dress code (such as tights and leotards), dancers must:
Wear appropriate dance attire and footwear that allows for safe movement and reflects the genre of each class. Attire and shoes must meet the host studio's guidelines.
Bring a water bottle and snack and/or lunch as needed for the day.
Arrive with a positive attitude, ready to learn, work hard, and have fun!
Follow all rules, policies, and expectations of the host studio. 
Submit a signed waiver prior to the start of the workshop.
Dancers without a completed waiver will not be permitted to participate.

Studio Requirements
In addition, host studios agree to provide:
Access to studio space, sound system, bathrooms, and common areas for check-in and breaks
Space for snacks and/or meals during the workshop day(s)
A designated studio contact who is present for the duration of the workshop to:
Open and close the studio
Assist instructors with sound or technical needs
Support dancer flow, transitions, and general questions as needed
Ensure the overall safety of the building and all students throughout the workshop

These requirements help ensure a smooth, positive, and safe experience for dancers, instructors, and studio staff alike.

Question 7

7. Did you say… scholarships?!

Accepted Answer

Yes! 💛

At Sole to Soul Dance Conversion (S2SDC), we believe every dancer deserves access to quality training and joyful workshop experiences. 
For every 25 paying workshop dancers, the studio is awarded one workshop scholarship.
Scholarship recipients are selected by the studio owner/director.
Scholarships must be based solely on financial need or hardship.

Scholarships may NOT be based on:
Competitive status, performance level, or technical ability
Length of enrollment or studio loyalty 
Attendance history or perceived dedication 
Personal relationships, visibility, or influence within the studio 
Any personal characteristics unrelated to financial need or hardship

Examples of qualifying circumstances include:
Low-income families who could not attend without support
Families experiencing sudden financial hardship due to job loss, reduced income, or unexpected expenses 
Youth experiencing foster care or housing instability

While S2SDC does not oversee each studio’s internal selection process, we trust studio leaders to make thoughtful, ethical, and heartfelt decisions in good faith—helping ensure that every dancer gets a chance to dance!
