Classes

Our classes offer connection with fellow believers, developmentally appropriate dance education and movement. In our weekly meetings we spend dedicated time using our gifts and dance technique to worship God. We believe firmly in the directives of the psalms that implore "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!" - Psalm 150:6. We pray that the Lord will encourage us all to draw nearer to Him, experiencing His presence, and equipping ourselves with His spirit. Nothing we do as a ministry can flourish without this primary connection to God and His word.

Our older students also spend time in the Bible together in devotionals lead by teachers and in small groups where they have the opportunity to consider God's word in relation to their life inside and outside of class. Dancers are assigned a "prayer buddy" (another dancer) with whom they can share their need for God's intervention in their life or the lives of others and then pray for each other. These acts of discipleship are designed to deepen our dancers in the knowledge and love of God and grow a bond of shared faith among them.

Our classes are held on Wednesday and Fridays.
