November Update from Mrs. Daphne

Our fall has gotten off to a wonderful start! We are already in week 11 of our dance year and the students are progressing in their skill, learning new dances, and enjoying Christian fellowship with other students.

Ballet Magnificat! weekend was wonderful! The performance was beautiful and carried the presence of the Lord. The ministry time after the performance was sweet and God’s Spirit touched many hearts. The workshop went well as many dancers enjoyed classes with the company members. It looks like a handful of our students may be making a trip to Jackson, Mississippi this summer for their summer intensive program! For more information, go to balletmagnificat.com

Most of our classes are full but we still have room for teenagers on Thursday evenings, adults on Tuesday evenings, and a few slots open for other dancers ages 3 and up throughout the week in our other classes. Please email us or call our office for availability. We would love to have you join!

Congratulations to Emily Canavesio for receiving the OK/LA student scholarship through class audition. Both Emily and Rachel Tice were invited to dance with other area dancers in the opening number held at the Coca-Cola Events Center in Bricktown. Great job girls! Congratulations to Emma Harris for being accepted into the University of Oklahoma’s Youth ballet program. Congratulations to Madison Pride, former Dove Dance Tulsa student, for winning Miss Teen OCU and a $22 thousand dollar college scholarship. And, too, congratulations to Allie Renner, Emily Williams, and Claire Harris for being cast in the Oklahoma City Ballet’s “Nutrcracker”. We are so pleased to see our dancers continue to excel and expand their experiences. May God be honored in all we do.

September Update from Mrs. Daphne

YES! We are still accepting students!

We have added classes to insure your dancer will have quality instruction with ideal teacher/student ratio. We are also pleased to offer the finest in degreed and certified staff and custom built facility while also maintaining one of the most economical tuition scales in the region. We maintain strong Christian standards in environment, movement, costuming, and music selections.
Our dance season has begun with a freshness and focus that I am so pleased to see. Our teen technique classes ministered at the City Rescue Mission in early September. The chapel service was wonderful and we were truly blessed! Our company ministers in dance at The Children’s Center in a few short days. We are so excited about spending time with the residents and staff!

Ballet Magnificat!, the world’s premiere professional Christian dance company, will be visiting us soon.
Their performance, “Deliver Us” will be held at Church of the Harvest, 6800 North Bryant, OKC, OK 73132 at 7:00 PM on Friday, October 16th.

A two day workshop taught by the company members will be October 17th and 18th for ages 8 through Adult. Classes will include: ballet, variations, worship, and jazz. We welcome all dancers in the region to attend. Registration is $100 for the weekend which includes one ticket to the performance. Tickets for the performance are $7 for general seating and $15 for VIP seating. You may purchase tickets at the Dove Dance office during regular hours or call Daphne at 405-834-2264. Seating is limited so we highly recommend advance ticket purchasing.


Our ballet department begins rehearsals for “The Gift” soon as we anticipate God’ s hand in this beautiful Christian ballet written by my mentor, Arnora Hummel. We are so blessed to have permission to perform this ballet as it has been viewed by audiences worldwide through television premiere.

Again, if you are looking for a dance class, please email us or give us a call. We would love for you to join us!

Many Blessings!

For 16 years Dove Dance has been on the cutting edge of Christian dance ministry & training. There truly is something unique about our school. This year is sure to prove no different! Our full focus and passion is training dancers to worship the Lord and use their dance as a language to share their faith with others.

What Makes Us Different?
• Christian emphasis in our classes through music, discussions, costuming, and prayer.
• DMA Certified Director & Teachers which gives our students exclusive benefits in training, influence, opportunities, and scholarships.
• Family tuition scale that keeps family budgets in mind

Dove Dance has touched lives in our area, nation, and internationally. Some of our highlights have been working with the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem and being invited to dance at the Olympic Festivals in China in 2008. We also enjoy working with local churches, the City Rescue Mission, Youth America, Salvation Army, and hospitals in their outreach to our community. Our students have gone on to dance professionally in major ballet companies, contracted in Branson theatres, receive college dance scholarships, and so much more. Most of our students take class for personal enjoyment and spiritual refreshing. We love this!

We embrace each dancer at any skill level as our focus is to “Praise His name with dancing” – Psalm 149:3.
