What People Are Saying about SODE

  • “SODE came into our advanced film class to lead an impressively thorough stop motion workshop. The teachers gave students agency to push creative boundaries while still maintaining a calm, secure environment that fostered learning and collaboration. My class walked away from the experience with more confidence in storytelling and creation, and I would happily invite SODE back next year!"

    — C. Gavin. Film Teacher at Irving STEAM Magnet (MS)

  • “I thoroughly enjoyed the "Dancing Through Common Core" assembly. It is the first time I had seen a presentation that incorporated a clear connection with the Common Core standards to an actual dance presentation. Congratulations on a fine performance by the students.”

    — Arturo Delgado, Superintendent of schools for the Los Angeles County Office of Education in California

  • “We wanted to express to you how fantastic Magic has been with Casie and Kristi! The students have thoroughly enjoyed it immensely as well as learning so much. The students would ask their parents not to pick them up early on the Magic Day and would go home to demonstrate what they had learned to their parents and siblings. The students also have enjoyed Dance and Improv and are looking forward to Drum! Thank you for providing such an excellent program for our students.”

    -Disney Elementary, ASES Coordinators

  • "My daughter is a 5th grader at LILA-West Valley. The Winterfest show this year was spectacular. I have been showing the video of their performance to my friends and family. The first thing they have asked is if this was my daughter's recital for a professional dance troupe. The entire show was extraordinary but the 5th grade choreography was spectacular! "

    -Parent, Lycee International de Los Angeles (Happy Dancing Brain Residency)

  • "Just wanted to say what an awesome performance and presentation you did at Valley View! My daughter loved the experience. But, I was amazed at watching some of our students with NO dance experience, do so well. "
