On October 24th Cara Moeller will expand her award winning dance company (Beat It Dance) in order to meet the growing health and fitness needs of Calgarians in a truly unique fashion at the Grand Opening of Soul Connexion, offering free classes for the community.
Cara’s vision for Soul Connexion began to develop as she became increasingly aware of the desperate need for accessible health & fitness development programs in Calgary. According to the Calgary Health Region, there are 50,000 Calgarians with diabetes, a disease that can be prevented and improved by physical activity. The latest statistics show that currently over 60% of Calgarians are not physically active.
With this awareness and the success of her existing dance/ fitness company, “Beat It Dance”, Cara decided it was time to do something she had been dreaming about for a long time. “ I started this studio because I know that a change in perspective can lead to life change. Movement is a powerful release for people of all ages. Connecting the mind to the body allows for the soul to come to life. I love working with people and helping them see the positive in their lives. ”
This unique studio offers a single location option for busy families interested in getting and staying active in all areas. Classes have been designed to appeal to individuals of all ages, skill levels and interests. They include a wide variety of dance styles, yoga, pilates, and aerobic programs. Soul Connexion also offers corporate team building workshops, personal training, nutritional consulting, and personal goal coaching.
Soul Connexion has 25 highly trained professional dance, yoga and fitness instructors on staff, and offers 85 diverse classes to the public every week.
In addition, Soul Connexion is proud to offer sponsorships to lower income children and families interested in taking part in any of the studio’s many offerings. “ We strongly believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience fitness, dance and yoga in a positive environment that inspires growth.” Says Cara, with a goal of raising $25,000 to donate towards the sponsorship of under privileged children this year, the team at Soul Connexion are very excited. For every corporate booking received one child is sponsored for this program.
