Soulidify was created out of a desire to bridge the gaps between the many styles of dance out there. It stemmed from the inspiration of going to Club Shelter at Hubbert St. in 1997-98. It was amazing how so many styles of dance were getting loose in the same circle with the most amazing energy. It was like a feeding frenzy of dancers feeding off of each other. African dancers, tap, bboys, house, ballet. So many people just plain and simply getting loose. It was a camaraderie that I was not used to in the bay at that time. Souldify was an attempt to try and bring that feeling to the bay….
