Move to the Call

Come join Dove Dance and our cast of over 65 company members in this professional and heart warming show.

“Keeping the joy and love of Jesus Christ as the focus of this season is more important now than ever in the history of our country. First, in our hearts, then in our homes, and finally, in our community and country. It is my prayer that Jesus remains the focus of Christmas as well as each day of our year. I hope you will come and share this special “Classic Christmas” with us. You will be blessed!” - Daphne Tardibono
