Colorful Soles is an idea that started in 2015. Two dancers, Jocelyn and Monika, decided they wanted to follow their dreams and start their own dance company. Well, two years later the idea has become a reality. Colorful Soles is a dance company for all ages, all levels and all dance types. We intend for our dance company to be "colorful" just like the name suggests. Our goal is to reach the masses and introduce the world of dance to as many people as possible. We are a community driven company about helping, healing and touching people's lives through the art of dance.
