DANCE DEPARTMENT

Contemporary/Flagging & Ballet

Welcome to the Dance Department at House of Bethany! It’s our heart to see worshipers not only grow in their skill and craft, but to pour out their worship before Jesus with all their heart. Just as David danced undignified before the Lord, we believe that through dance, we can step into that same freedom of worship, offering our whole selves to Him.

 

In this program, you’ll learn Ballet Foundations, Flag Technique, Choreography, Physical Theatre, and have the opportunity to collaborate with other departments like Creative Writing and Media to create something truly unique. We also embrace all forms and styles of dance: Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, or Musical Theater. Here, your body is your instrument, and every movement is an offering of praise. Whether you’re beginning your dance journey or have years of experience, we welcome all levels of dance!

featured project

During our yearly showcase, the dance students presented a portrayal of the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. One group of dancers represented the wise virgins, while the other depicted the foolish virgins. The students are wearing masks as a symbolic representation of how we can fall into complacency — going through the motions outwardly, yet failing to prepare inwardly by storing oil and remaining ready for His return.
