The Program

Let the Body Speak seeks to teach people of all ages how to maximize their God-given passion for the arts, namely dance.  Utilizing a combination of technique classes, Biblically based lessons, choreography sessions, journaling and prayer, LTBS offers a comprehensive exploration of Sacred Dance. 

LTBS seeks to equip participants with the tools, both spiritual and physical, to execute Sacred Dance in excellence.

LTBS seeks to educate ministry leaders, clergy, and congregants on the art of Sacred Dance, the use of arts in worship and the intersection of the arts and faith. 

LTBS seeks to empower the church to practice dance ministry with abundance, meaning and might in service to the congregation, the community and beyond.
