DOVE DANCE in DANCE MAGAZINE! - We are honored to be one of four studios in the country in the '06 July Issue of Dance Magazine "Secrets of a Successful Studio." Since 1994, our vision has been to bring Christian dance to the forefront of mainstream dance in this country - allowing parents to send their child to a Christ-centered studio while not comprising technical training. We are no longer just "picturing" this for our students - it has now come to pass. We are excited about the momentum in which our school is being graced. May all of the credit and Glory be to the Lord, who built our schools from the cement up! All applause to Him!

DMA Nationals - Congratulations to "The Passion" 2nd Place Production Grand National Champions! Congratulations to all 41 of our students who attended, ranging in ages between 8 and 17, who came home with between 1 and 4 Platinum Scores.
