Our Story

Where creativity and discipline have danced together since 2026

The Solstice Philosophy

"Discipline must not be sacrificed for the sake of creativity, and creativity must not be sacrificed for the sake of discipline." — Michael Rodriguez, Co-Founder

Founded by Katie and Michael Rodriguez, Solstice Dance Conservatory was born from the belief that true artistry requires both boundless imagination and unwavering dedication to craft. At our conservatory, we honor the balance where creative expression and technical mastery meet.

Our name reflects our belief that the greatest artistry emerges from embracing duality: the discipline of classical training and the freedom of personal expression; the rigor of technique and the spark of creativity; the structure that makes true artistic freedom possible.
