Welcome to SODE School of Performing Arts, a pioneer in performing arts education, STEM integration, and educational assemblies for elementary, middle, and high schools since 2010. As we approach our 15th anniversary in 2025, we continue to lead the way in empowering young artists through a unique blend of social-emotional learning, multicultural exploration, and dynamic performances.
Through our in-school programs, residencies, workshops, and after-school enrichment, we provide students with opportunities to explore their creativity and develop essential skills for success. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the stage as we seamlessly weave STEM principles into our artistic tapestry, demonstrating how science, multiculturalism, and social-emotional learning converge within the performing arts.
At SODE, we believe in nurturing the holistic development of students, equipping them with the confidence and capabilities to thrive at school, on stage, on a canvas, on a screen and in life. Join us on this exciting journey of exploration, empowerment, and artistic expression.

WE ARE LA, is a twenty-minute Edu-Show (educational show) that uses dance to explore our city’s rich diversity and culture. Students are led on a cultural dance experience guided by Angelo, our dance host. As he explores Los Angeles and unveils the beauty of unique traditions and ways of life for so many Angelinos, the audience gains a deeper appreciation of the rich culture that lives in our city. With the power of international dance, WE ARE LA, connects countries together, creates bonds with strangers and embraces the differences that reminds us, WE ARE all LA.
