About the Amazing Shake NWA
The Amazing Shake, an event originally of the Ron Clark Academy, is a competition that places an emphasis on teaching SOAR students leadership, manners, discipline, respect, and professional conduct. At the SOAR Amazing Shake and Amazing Shake NWA, students compete in rounds of competition to determine who will be the Amazing Shake NWA Champion.
Prior to the competition, students learn the nuances of professional human interaction as they are taught skills such as how to give a proper handshake, how to “work a room,” how to give a successful interview, and how to remain composed under pressure. Our team hopes to see students across NWA engaged and excited about communication opportunities now and in the future.
