"The Kennedy Center has presented SOLE Defined in a variety of capacities - from proscenium-style performances to educational, class-type activities. Whenever they are in the house, you can be sure your audiences are in for an engaging, high-energy, treat!" -- Jane Rabinovitz, Co-Director of Dance Programming
"Every time I witness a SOLE Defined program, whether in a classroom, a theater, or at a school, I am blown away by their inventiveness, artistry, and their authenticity. SOLE Defined fuses percussive dance, mixed media, and a wide variety of music into a visually and emotionally stimulating performance that pays homage to its African roots with the contemporary freshness that captures students and leaves them only wanting more." - Lindsay Roberts, Arts Education Fellow, Young Audience
“Sole Defined has made such an impactful influence on the dance students of Prince George's County Public Schools. Ryan and Quynn are energetic, authentic and inspiring. Their love for tap and percussive movement is infectious and even motivates the student who thought they could not dance. Sole Defined is a true gem and has made great strides in keeping the tradition and history of percussive movement and Tap Dance alive.” - Temisha Richardson - Dance Supervisor, Prince George’s County Public Schools
