We are excited to have our PrepCo join Glorify Dance Theatre in our MainStage performance of The Little Loaf in November 2024! Throughout the course of 5 studio rehearsals, 1 dress rehearsal at the theatre, and 3 performances, PrepCo dancers will learn and perform an original ballet with Glorify Dance Theatre. Dancers will have individualized attention in their company rehearsals, as well as get to work alongside our professional dancers during tech rehearsals and performances. For aspiring ballet dancers who also want to grow in their faith, performing with GDT’s Preparatory Company gives young dancers an opportunity to learn how their skills in dance can be used to honor the Lord.
