Sacred Dance Weekend...Join Grace Upon Grace, a dance company with an emphasis on sacred dance, for a weekend of dance. Sacred dance enhances worship with faith centered music, costuming, and liturgical emphasis. Sometimes a specific text or biblical story is choreographed and highlighted. Ballet, modern, and jazz techniques are incorporated into choreography that expresses the various emotions of the inexpressible: God’s love. During our time together, dancers will take class, participate in a brief Bible study, and learn choreography to share at the worship service on Sunday morning.
