Hi Urban Artistry Friends and family!
If you haven’t heard yet, Soul Society is April 15-18th. That’s right… 4
days of UA sized fun. Brought to you by Rogue Squirrel and Urban Artistry,
Soul Society is an International Urban Dance and Culture Festival sponsored
in part by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery
County. Our idea is to bring the community along with local, national and
international guests for a unique experience that will provide a global
perspective into the world of urban dance, music and arts culture. Our
mission is to educate the community, by providing information on healthy
alternatives to nutrition, fitness and training for dancers and artists.
Please check out more info at the website: www.hiphopsoulsociety.com, or see
