Solo Expression was founded by Anthony "Solo" Harris, who began his journey as an at-risk youth but managed to transform his life through dance. Anthony established Solo Expression to offer a modern dance environment that merges traditional studio standards with a strong focus on supporting developmentally disabled and at-risk youth.Anthony 'Solo' Harris has made a groundbreaking contribution to the dance community by inventing a unique form of dance therapy. This innovative approach has cultivated a safe and expressive space for individuals with disabilities, at-risk youth, and our senior populations. Through this therapy, participants are able to express themselves freely, fostering growth in their individuality and tapping into their spiritual healing energy. This form of dance therapy not only promotes physical wellness but also addresses emotional and mental health, making a significant impact on the lives of those who engage in it.
