Hilary Rose McAlister is artistic director for Soul de Soul and lead choreographer and director of Tearstained Dance Company, which was featured in PURE Magazine.  Hilary attended the University of Central Oklahoma as a dance major and continued her studies at Broadway Dance Center and Steps on Broadway.  Currently she's employed at Studio J School of Dance and she travels teaching master classes and choreographing numbers for different groups, which she's been nominated and received several awards and honors for.

     Hilary knows that dance is the rhythm every person is born with; therefore, people dance alone, dance with, and or dance for something.  The experience, feel, and emotion of dance, is what drives Hilary to express her heart through dance.  With this understanding, Hilary hopes to touch, inspire, move, and encourage not only the dancers but the audience as well.  She believes dance is the language of the soul, which can move us to feel and experience something greater than ourselves and she feels blessed to be able to contribute to our world with something as beautiful as dance.
