THE SOLO EXPRESSION STORY

"Solo Expression was created by Anthony Solo Harris, who started off as an at-risk youth but was able to turn his life around through dance. Anthony created Solo Expression to provide a new-age dance environment, one that combines traditional studio standards with a focus on catering to the developmentally disabled and at-risk youth. Anyone can open a dance studio, but without a purpose behind it, you're doing yourself and the art form a disservice.

Anthony was a part of the legendary ENVY dance group (est. 2003) from Newark, NJ. The group revitalized street dance when the new millennium hit and helped cultivate the Jersey Club dance style and energy. During his time with ENVY, Anthony performed on national television and on stages across the country, shedding light on the positive energy Newark had to offer.

Since then, Anthony has been teaching professionally for over 13 years. He also has 10 years of experience in direct care service with at-risk youth, developmentally disabled individuals, and physically impaired populations.

For individuals with developmental disabilities, dance can have a positive impact on attention span, memory, ability to follow instructions, and physical strength and coordination. Dance is a powerful therapy due to its sensorimotor integration. It allows for the expression of emotions and ideas through individual movements while requiring participants to control their bodies within a group setting. Dance will always encourage a healthy well-being.

At Solo Expression, we offer services for both youth and adults. We accept FSS and IDD waivers. If you can't come to the studio, no problem! We also provide on-site sessions. For public and private sessions, please contact us at soloexpressionspa@gmail.com."
