I really enjoyed my experience at BalletMag's summer conference. Every dance class was inspiring and beautifully worshipful. The lectures with John V. were filled with lots of great insights and wisdom on dance as a form of worship. Also, the contacts I made with other people in worship dance were incredible -- I met so many truly amazing people!!! - Jody Thomae, Ashland, OH The week I spent with Ballet Magnificat was incredible. Not only was I able to walk away with the tools to better teach my dancers who have no dance training, but we were also able to learn and use some of the choreography by Ballet Magnificat. Worshiping with the other praise and worship dancers was a very moving experience and I know that we were all touched by the hand of God that week. I can't wait to come back! - Brittany Holmes, Corinth, TX When I saw that Ballet Mag was offering a P&W seminar, it was an answer to my prayers. What an answer to prayer, learning excellent technique in a God centered way. Not only was I taught technique and choreography, I found others that share my passion to minister through dance. I was amazed by the excellence of how the conference was run. All my needs were met. - Jeanette Friend, Lynn Haven, FL The workshop was an awsome experience for me. I felt God working in everyone he brought into contact with me. All of the staff was encouraging and very full of the spirit. I wish that I could be surrounded by that all of the time!! The classes themselves helped me further myself in what praise and worship dance can be, especially if dance is brought into the worship experience. The Lord definatly has a purpose for this workshop and everyone who attends it! - Beth Terrell, Flower Mound, TX
Attending the Ballet Magnificat Praise and Worship summer workshop was like having God give me the most beautiful present imaginable. It was an opportunity to live and learn for a week with like minded praise and worship dancers, to take classes taught by Ballet Magnificat dancers, to see a Ballet Magnificat rehearsal and presentation, and to participate daily in Bible study and worship services. It was everything and more that I envisioned it would be and was truly an experience I will always treasure; I was blessed beyond measure! - Bobbi Stringer, Keller, TX

Christ and make Him known to the widest possible audience through the
medium of dance. So how does that happen at our Summer Intensive? We
begin each day with praise and worship and an opportunity to hear personal
testimonies from Ballet Magnificat! staff and professional company
members.
Also,
all students (young and old) are assigned to counselor groups. These
groups meet for prayer and Bible studies in the evenings.
Participants often find that treasured friendships are formed in their
small groups as they discuss, learn, worship and dance together.
sessions
take the dancer from the classical setting and allow them to use dance and
creative talents as a worship tool. Participants are
encouraged to use their dancing as an expression of adoration to the
Almighty Creator.
