GENERAL INFORMATION & POLICIES
Harmony Dance is a creative arts ministry for girls to express their love for Jesus though dance. Our pursuit and focus as a dance ministry is to raise up a generation of girls and young women who possess a deep love for the Lord, a solid identity in Christ and a passion for worship!
Each class will center on the concept of using our ability to dance to magnify the Lord and show others the love of Christ.
No previous dance experience is necessary for any entry level age groups and levels. Final class placement is subject to change based on Harmony Dance director’s class placement. Quality ballet curriculum will be used as the foundation of our dance program. Our classes and curriculum are designed with a Beginner/Intermediate level student in mind.
We offer Pre-Ballet classes starting at age 3 where younger students will receive age appropriate, stretching, strengthening and creative movement. Starting at Level 3 and up, students will explore Jazz, Lyrical movement and dramatic interpretation.
All classes are held at:
Harvest Bible Church
4712 E Thunderbird Rd
Phoenix, AZ 85032
