We are thrilled to announce our annual summer showcase on July 10th and 11th! “Encounters With Christ” is a collection of dances in contemporary styles that highlight stories from the Bible where Jesus performed miracles and transformed lives. The same Jesus who healed the lame, fed the 5000, and rose from the dead is the same God we serve today! Come worship with us as we celebrate the power, goodness, and majesty of our King.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” -Hebrews 13:8

Our annual Summer Dance Intensive is a six-week program for dancers rising 5th-12th grade. During the summer, dancers will focus on developing modern and contemporary dance styles in addition to classical ballet technique in a Christian environment. Summer class schedules also include rehearsals that lead up to this year’s Summer Showcase “Encounters With Christ”. For many of our dancers, this is their favorite time of year where they are able to gain more performance experience and explore different dance styles!

We are excited to share our next performance, “Let Praise Arise”, with our friends and audiences up in Tennessee!

During this powerful night of worship at Highlands Church of the Cumberlands , Ballet Exaltation and Immanuel will perform a collection of our favorite worship pieces including “All Hail King Jesus” and ”Creation Waits”. Our prayer is for the Lord to use this performance to open eyes to see the goodness of God and draw use closer to Him through worship. Join us as we praise His name together!

“I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.” -Psalm 108:3-5

“Let Praise Arise”

We’re still in awe of all that the Lord did during “Light of Heaven”! We are full of gratitude for all the hard work and beauty our incredible dancers poured into this performance. The evening was truly a glimpse into heaven, and we hope it provided our audiences a deeper understanding of what Jesus did for us at Christmas 🤍
