About Us

Who we Are

We are a theater and dance academy which educates the skills for performing arts, with a primary focus on pre-professional artists working through a Christian lens. We welcome all ages and levels who plan to enter the artistic field professionally and or who desire a safe, productive, and educational environment to grow as an artist through a Christian lens.

What We Believe - Why We Believe It

-We believe that it glorifies God to dance if it is done in a kind, respectful, and supportive community. 

-We believe that the arts can be an outlet, a fun way to stay healthy, and can be therapeutic. The arts can inform your mind to be healthy, just as much as your body. 

-We believe that a professional and healthy atmosphere, while  learning the history, technicality and musicality, will help the artist to grow to their full potential.

-We believe that the healthy mind, the healthy body, the environment, history, 

and the community all are a part of positive art.

Psalms 149:3 - "Let them praise His name with dancing..."
