When Juliana was 3 years old she saw her first Praise In Motion performance. She had just begun her first ballet class that year and when she soaked in that performance, she told us that she was going to dance on that stage. I assured her that she would dance on that stage because her recitals that year would be at the same theater. She promptly proclaimed that, no, she was going to dance with THEM on the stage. She recognized that she would have to be older, but was adamant and over the years she has never waivered in her determination! » read more »

This is just too funny! Read it all the way through. With all the misandry in our culture, I'm glad at least one woman has learned to appreciate our strengths.

The reality is, God made men and women to be different. We excel at different roles. This doesn't make one better than the other, per se, although one is certainly better than the other at some things and the other better than the one at different things. Denying our differences sets us up for failure, something our culture is beginning to reap big-time. » read more »

It seems dancers can't help but dance:

Dancing
Genes that govern aspects of social communication, human bonding and spirituality help to determine whether you'll make a good dancer, research suggests. Professional dancers are born with at least two special genes that give them a leg up on the rest of us, according to a new study. » read more »

Granted, my perception is not typical, I'm sure, but it sure seems to me that high culture (for lack of a better term) is declining. Theater, art, ballet, literature, etc., all seem to be suffering more now than a few years ago--suffering from apathy or disinterest. I believe it's largely due to an overall decline in our civilization, fueled by ignorance and a piss-poor education system. What do you think? » read more »

Praise In Motion presents The Gift in November (15th & 22nd). The PIM dancers have been rehearsing it for a while now. I'm lucky enough to see just a little bit of these rehearsals. It's gonna be great! I hope you make the time to see at least one of their performances this fall.

If you know of any little girls (or boys!) who might be interested in ballet, bring 'em! They can get backstage tours and meet the dancers, and they'll be blessed by the message. You, too! » read more »

The new dance year has begun. As I first stepped into En Pointe's (EP) studio yesterday afternoon, I was inundated with small tasks, queries, and greetings. It was pleasantly crowded, and I was a bit overwhelmed. Nevertheless, I was happy to be back. » read more »
