Class Expectations
We ask our dancers to arrive on time and ready to begin, dressed in proper attire with hair neatly secured. Come with a positive attitude, a willingness to work hard, and an open heart ready to grow. Please give your full attention during instruction, complete each exercise with your best effort, and receive corrections with grace as part of the learning process. Practicing at home will help build confidence and progress. Food and gum are not permitted in class (water only unless otherwise provided). We encourage all students to show kindness and respect to teachers and fellow dancers, wear appropriate cover-ups when entering and exiting the building, and keep tuition current by the first class of each month. Above all, we strive to end each class with gratitude - thanking our teachers and thanking God for the beautiful gift of dance.
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Jesus Christ.” Colossians 3:23
Ministry Mindset
Within every level a portion of our class time is dedicated to discipleship in the Word. Each year we follow a theme throughout our devotion times. Some past themes have been the names of God, Fruit of the Spirit, and the Promises of God. In addition, within every class we explore worship through a time of spontaneous and creative movement. This time is to teach the students that our unique and personal dance can be used to glorify the Lord.
