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.
