We are passionate about redeeming the many facets of dance lost in today’s dance culture. We believe in dance being a medium to build and renew a person’s spirit and soul. Our talents are gifts that can bring healing, build character, lift us, and ultimately glorify God. We are excited to teach the foundations of dance in a unique, fun, and supportive environment, experiencing the love of Jesus. Our passion is to create a culture where the redemptive power of dance can be experienced and shared.
Motivated by the redemption Jesus first provided us, “buying back” the old for the new is our focus. God calls us each by our “new” name and gives us a redeemed identity that connects our spirit to His. When we become Him, everything changes. The truth wins, and truth only leads to life.
“But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1
