This community event is to encourage and empower our youth and young adults to use their gift of dance to build their relationship with God and draw others to Him.

Friday night will be a night of praise and worship, with instruction on the importance of covering as ministers and how colors have important meaning. Saturday will be all-day workshops including dance technique, mime, and lyrical dance. Each dancer will have two dance workshops based on their training and experience.
