Hey yāall ā my name is JP Vaughan, founder of SOS Dance and Stars of Swing. Five years ago, dance saved my life, and ever since, Iāve wanted to create something to provide that same support for others.
SOS Dance was built as a platform for people to share their stories, give back, and support causes that truly matter.
Over the next couple weeks Iāll be making more videos explaining what SOS dance is, getting into my own personal testimony and explaining where we plan to go as a brand.
From day one, I knew I wanted SOS to support the causes that have impacted me personally ā suicide prevention and drug and alcohol abuse awareness. I never imagined that our very first drop would give me the chance to help someone so close to home.
If you knew me back in my Houston days, you knew one of my best friends, Steven Zarate. Recently, the Zarate family lost their youngest son to drug abuse. With all the love and support weāve received from this first drop, I want to follow through on the mission behind this brand.
A portion of the proceeds from āAddicted Dancersā drop will go directly to the Zarate family to support them through this unimaginable loss. Please keep Steven and his family in your prayers.
If you feel led to help further, the GoFundMe is linked here: https://gofund.me/c918da471
if you choose to rep SOS Dance, know that your purchase truly makes an impact.
This brand will always stand for kindness, smiles, love, positivity, and giving back.
Thank you all for the overwhelming support youāve shown me and those around me. I canāt wait to see where this journey goes.
The sky and the stars are the limit. Until we talk again⦠be a light, keep smiling, and just keep dancing. Love yāall š¤āØ

This strictly was special for a number of reasons...
I usually go into my strictlys with a 'let's have fun' mindset but in the back of my mind there's still some sort of pressure to do well. This time around it was just pure stress-free fun (and a lil chaos) and I'm beyond grateful for every part of it. From the (last minute) partnership to the local love and support, I can't picture a better way to have had my last Advanced strictly š¤

Thereās always a moment.
The one in class where that concept finally clicks.
Where you stay out later than you planned⦠but donāt regret it.
Where you meet people you didnāt know you needed in your life.
Thatās what this weekend is really about.
And people like @jamespatrick5 are part of what makes those moments happen at YESSS!!
No matter where youāre at in your dancing, thereās something here for you! With so many styles, instructors, classes, and social dancing to choose from + the most EPIC SUMMER Pool party you can imagineā¦. We know youāll create new core memories with us!
The island isnāt about being the best.
Itās about showing up and being part of it!
