Our partnership with Soma Athletic Wellness

A Shared Approach to Movement, Health & Longevity

River Oaks School of Dancing is proud to be located inside Soma Athletic Wellness, a wellness space dedicated to intelligent movement, strength, and long-term physical health.

This partnership is intentional.

While our disciplines may look different on the surface, they are deeply aligned at their core — both rooted in optimal posture, alignment, mobility, and mindful movement.


Why Dance & Soma Belong Together

Ballroom dancing is more than learning steps. At its best, it is a full-body practice that develops:

  • Upright, functional posture

  • Joint mobility and coordination

  • Balance, stability, and core engagement

  • Body awareness and efficient movement patterns

Soma’s approach to fitness complements this beautifully, focusing on:

  • Corrective movement and alignment

  • Strength built with intention and control

  • Mobility that supports daily life — not just workouts

  • Injury prevention and long-term physical resilience

Together, we support the body from multiple angles — grace, strength, coordination, and longevity.


A One-Stop Shop for Health & Wellness

By sharing space, River Oaks School of Dancing and Soma offer something rare:
a truly integrated movement environment.

Clients can:

  • Build strength and alignment through Soma’s fitness offerings

  • Apply that mobility, posture, and coordination in dance

  • Move seamlessly between disciplines that reinforce one another

Whether your goal is to feel better in your body, stay active as you age, improve posture, or simply move with more confidence and ease — this combined approach supports the whole person.


Movement That Supports Real Life

We believe movement should enhance your life, not exhaust it.

Dance keeps you mentally present, emotionally uplifted, and socially connected.
Soma strengthens the body so it can move well — today, tomorrow, and for years to come.

Together, we create a space where movement is purposeful, sustainable, and joyful.


Rooted in Community & Care

Our partnership reflects a shared belief:
that health is not a quick fix, but a long-term relationship with your body.

By working side by side, we foster a community built on care, education, and respect for how the body truly works — offering our clients a supportive environment where movement feels empowering, not intimidating.
