2024 Summer Dance Intensives

We are excited to offer a new summer intensive opportunity this year! Lyrical Worship Intensive is for any dancer age 11 and up who wants to deeply explore how to use dance as worship. We will creatively utilize scarves and flags, learn the spiritual significance and meaning of dancing with these props, and practice how to share our individual testimonies using words and movement. This intensive promises to be a rich and impactful week of growing as we dig into Scripture, prayer, and choreography together! The week will end with a special opportunity to use what we have learned during the week to minister in the community. Join us for this moving intensive (spiritually and physically) that we’re sure you’ll never forget!

The ballet Paquita takes place in Spain during the occupation by Napoleon’s army. The heroine is a young Romani girl, Paquita. She doesn’t know she is really of noble birth, having been abducted by Romani people when she was an infant. She saves the life of a young French officer, Lucien d’Hervilly, the target of a Spanish governor who plots to have him killed by Iñigo, a Roma chief. With the help of a medallion with her father’s portrait, she discovers her true history and ends up marrying Lucien.
