I LOVE School Of The Arts!! Referred to by most as SOTA, it is a privilege to go to this school.I'm a Dance Major and absolutely love it! You get a great education and get to learn about different arts. We has arts rollover classes were we go and learn about creative writing, visual arts, theater technology, dance, music, etc! This is an amazing school!!!
