With 2022 now almost completely behind us, it’s time to set our intentions for a brand new year. Once we look back with gratitude for His grace, we shift our gaze forward and set our goals for the next season with eager hope and anticipation. Some of us might hope to take on new challenges, while others aim to carve out more personal time. Whatever your resolutions are, we’re here to help you dance to a blessed 2023!
Resolution #1: Try Something New
It’s been scientifically proven. Trying new things not only helps us to conquer our fears, but it also allows us to expand our minds and learn—both about the something new, and about ourselves. Then there’s the rush! There's nothing quite like—or as memorable as—the thrill of a new experience.
If you’re considering a return to dance in 2023, or want to get into a studio for the very first time, Turning Pointe strives to be the perfect space to gently foster your God-given abilities. We pursue being a unique dance studio with a fun, relaxed atmosphere for your family, providing structured classes and proper technique at the same time.We specialize in beginners of all ages and offer training through pre-collegiate levels!
Already a student? Try something new January 2-7 during Free Trial Week! You never know which new genre will challenge you in joyful ways you never saw coming.
Resolution #2: Get/Stay in Shape
Did you know that dancing reduces your risk of heart disease even more than a regular walking routine? Or that dance is one of the few means of exercise that strengthens as it stretches and improves memory? Wrap your fitness up in fun with weekly dancing, or give our new Ellové class a try!
The Ellové Technique® is a conditioning and cross-training class taught by certified dance specialists and educators. The pure techniques of ballet, yoga, fitness, and Pilates are set to music in a seamless movement sequence that improves strength, flexibility, and control. Incorporating principles of dance medicine and science, The Ellové Technique reduces injury risk by targeting muscle imbalances, refining alignment, increasing endurance, and practicing safe stretching techniques. Give it a try during Free Trial Week, January 2-7, and sign up by January 15 to secure your spot!
Resolution #3: Resolution: Spend More Time with God
Psalms 149:3 says, “Let them praise his name with dancing…Praise him with tambourine and dance…” In 2 Samuel 6:14–22, David danced before the Lord with all his might, providing us with a wonderful example of what it truly means to surrender to God in worship. Even if you’re not signed up for a Worship class, each of our dance classes incorporate prayer and verse of the month, keeping the focus of class time on the Lord.
Unplug from the busyness of the world and commit to dancing before Him during your designated class time. No distractions, no other nagging tasks… just you and the Lord, praising His name with dancing!
Resolution #4: Spend More Time in Fellowship
Year after year, when we ask our students about their biggest takeaways from the dance year, the friendships and spiritual bonds formed in the studio are among the brightest highlights. In addition to devotions and class time, students at Turning Pointe pray together as they learn to hone their craft, encouraging community and fellowship that extends beyond the classroom and into lifelong memories.
Meet new people with similar interests and shared learning experiences by enrolling in dance, or strengthen your existing relationships with a weekly ballroom dancing night, Mommy and Me class, Dance with Your Hero event or Mother/Daughter Tea!
Resolution #5: Have More FUN
In a time when the weight of the world seems to feel heavier and heavier, the importance of having fun is greater than ever… and it’s pretty impossible to dance and stay in a bad mood! When we dance, our brain releases endorphins, which can trigger neurotransmitters that create a feeling of comfort, relaxation, fun and power. Music and dance can help us shake off our days and focus our hearts on glorifying God as we challenge ourselves in a fun and exciting way.
Come experience the JOY at Turning Pointe! We are committed to providing excellence in dance and theater instruction while cultivating hearts of worship and nurturing creativity. What are you waiting for? We have a class for everyone!
