Bring a friend week is here, and we’re so excited to share our love of dance! Year after year, when we ask our students to share their favorite parts of class, it’s never the steps or the choreography that make the list. Instead it’s the friendships—the bonds that transcend the studio walls and the relationships that encourage them in their journey to Jesus—that come front and center. And while sometimes it’s difficult to invite others to church, from October 13-18, you can invite a friend to come and experience the Turning Pointe difference as you dance together for His glory. At Turning Pointe, we know we’ve been made new in Christ, washed by the blood of the Lamb. Our community looks different. This week, let’s invite others to take part as we dance for Jesus—together!
Bring a Friend to Boost Your Friendship
Having a friend in class will help foster deeper connections. Dancing together requires synchronization and participation that take your relationships beyond typical social activities like small talk that allow you to stay safely inside your comfort zone. Whether you’re laughing at a mistake or perfectly executing a dance move, you’ll create lasting memories together in class.
Good friends know you really well, and still like you. And so it is with God, our best friend. He knows us inside out, and still loves us. Proverbs 17:17 reminds us that “A friend loves at all times.” How wonderful it is to love and pray for one another through challenges and fun, difficult exercises, our favorite choreography, and progress reports. The Lord calls us to walk together as we walk with Him. This week, we invite you to turn that walk into a dance!
Bring a Friend to Boost Your Mood
This time of year can be stressful. Midterms, auditions, looming holidays, and extra curricular activities? It can feel like a lot! Leave it all at the door this week. Let go, and encourage your friends to dance with God. Did you know dance has been proven to boost your mood, reduce stress, and build confidence? Did you also know that good friendships and social connections can improve cognitive function, create healthy habits, and provide emotional support? So just imagine what dancing with a friend can do!
Just like joining a small group at church, building your unique community at Turning Pointe can be SO beneficial—even if you’re starting small with one friend this week. Having a friend in class means you can offer each other support and encouragement in the studio and beyond. Just like in our church congregations, friends encourage deeper community and accountability within the studio, and develop leaders that can help grow our mission to make Christ easier to see in everything we do. To put it simply, dancing has been known to inspire joy. So have the best friendships. When we put those two things together in His name, there’s no stress or shadow that can stand in our way!
