Dance
SOY’s dance program promotes self-expression and broadens students’ exposure to the performing arts. Instructors include professors from OCC, dance majors from UC Irvine, Cal State University Long Beach, OCC, and SOY alumni who teach genres ranging from Latin Jazz, hip-hop, and ballet folklorico, to jazz and ballet. Opportunities for our dancers to showcase their skills include the annual talent show, Costa Mesa Arts in the Park, and the Orange County Fair. To further students’ appreciation for dance, SOY offers field trips to performances at Newport Harbor High School, UC Irvine, the Barclay Theater, and other venues.
