Ballet Magnificat!
Much thanksgiving to the Lord for an amazing weekend with Ballet Magnificat! The Tulsa Performance of Hiding Place had over 1200 in attendance with an atmosphere of powerful and refreshing ministry. We were honored to have guests from the dance departments of Oral Roberts University and St. Gregory’s University. The weekend workshop offered seventeen classes in ballet, variations, conditioning, jazz, and worship. Our dancers thoroughly enjoyed these enriching classes! We greatly appreciate the strong witness of Godly character Ballet Magnificat! offers our dancers. May the Lord continue to bless Keith and Kathy Thibodeaux for their uncompromising dedication to the call of this ministry.
Congratulations Savannah, DMA Miss Teen Dance of America Contestant 2007 in NYC!
