Notes on Above Class Schedule:
DANCE IN WORSHIP:  This is a difficult class to name - we aren't fond of the title 'Worship Dance' since that seems to imply that this is THE (only) form of dance that is used in worship - and yet most churchgoers know what is meant by Worship Dance or Liturgical Dance.  This class will be more of a guided time, as opposed to a time of formal instruction (although technique will be taught).  Emphasis will be on self (progress, overcoming fear, not being self-conscious) versus performance.  The instructor may teach combination of ballet/modern and/or creative movement dependent on makeup of class.

Further notes...

  • Proposed Schedule - Different classes require different minimum numbers of students in order to proceed.

  • Each area (of artistic discipline) is on its own row.

  • On a first-come-first-served basis.  After the online registration is received there is then a 7 day period in which From The Top needs to receive the payment by mail in order for the class spot to be held.
