Dance

the LAC Dance Department is dedicated to teaching and training young people
to celebrate and worship the Lord Jesus Christ whole-heartedly.  We focus on recognizing the creative abilities in children and youth and then encouraging their gifts as they grow in the Lord. We want to not only teach dance as a form of worship, but more importantly, worship as a lifestyle; showing our students, by our words and example, that we can worship the Lord by how we live our lives.

Dance Department Philosophy

the LAC Dance Department includes worship dance and movement classes which teach forms of dance such as ballet, modern, contemporary jazz, and dramatic interpretation.  We offer classes for students from 3 years old to adults.  Our classes are taught by professional, skilled, Christian teachers and consist of warm ups and technical dance training.

   Our Performing Worship Dance Company consists of students who are technically trained in classical dance, but most importantly, have the hearts of passionate worshipers. They each have the desire to draw others into the presence of God through their dancing.  To be a part of this group, a student must also be enrolled in one other dance class.  This group will share their gifts with our church as well as other area  churches.  A student must participate in a brief audition and a meeting time with our Dance Director and Creative Director.
