Turning Pointe Dance is committed to providing excellence in dance and theater instruction while cultivating hearts of worship and nurturing creativity. In addition to dance and theater training, our dancers go beyond technique to develop important life skills including learning to be respectful and confident, and share their gifts and talents with the community and beyond. As our students and staff pray over October’s focus and scripture, we invite you to join us in prayer as we celebrate all the ways #TPSHINES!

 How We SHINE:

 "Let your light SHINE before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

                                                                                                                      — Matthew 5:16

Let our dancers SHINE for you during Fall Peek Week, October 7-12. For the last 15 minutes of each class, families and friends are invited to take a peek and observe what our dancers have been learning. Bring your cameras and share in the joy as we SHINE His light through the gifts and talents of our students! Your next chance to observe will be Christmas programs, December 2-14.

 “Let your face SHINE on your servant; save me in your unfailing love..”

Our vision is to be a faith-based center for the arts in our community that empowers students with grit, grace, and gratitude for the arts and for His Kingdom. Our long-term goal is to see TP students flourish in their gifts and be equipped to go into every man’s world by training the whole person body, mind, and spirit. This month, we focus our hearts on SHINING His light on the stage, in the classroom and beyond!
