A Right Spirit
Spring Worship Concert 2024
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Paquita
Pointe & Variations
This is a famous repertoire, similar to a musician's Beethoven or Mozart. It's from the Classical Era of ballet and choreographed by the great Marius Petipa. The story is a wedding scene of a woman, Paquita, with her bridesmaids and her husband, Andres. Not only is this piece famous and expected for dancers to be familiar with, it is also a great metaphor for the great wedding banquet to come, for we are the bride of Christ, redeemed and recognized for who we were born to be, brought into a new family, a new identity, a new inheritance.

Blossoming
Ballet 1A Monday Evening
This year we talked about the fruits of the Spirit in class and just as fruits grow and produce beautiful things in our lives, flowers also grow and blossom creating beautiful things. We want to be flowers for Jesus.
A Right Spirit
Youth Company
As I was praying about the Spring Concert's theme "A Right Spirit" I realized that a lot of the time I can be in a place of worrying and anxiety instead of resting in the Lord. I wanted to create a piece that starts by showing this place of fear and then what can happen as we come to the Lord and ask him to "Create in us a Right Spirit." I also wanted to challenge myself to jump out of my "ballet box" and create a more abstract piece for the Youth Company for the Spring Concert.
Be Glad!
Beginning Irish
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout His praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest sing for joy!" Psalms 96:11-12
Hold On!
Combined Graham
We hold on to the promise the Lord has given us. He has promised us that He is Honorable, Just, Pure, lovely, Admiralable. Excellent, and Praiseworthy. We hold on to these promises and keep moving forward with no anxious heart.

Sound the Trumpet

Irish shows different elements of dancing in a unique way. It emphasizes focus in lots of quick footwork, still upper bodies, making creative formations, and developing musicality.

And He created Rhythm
Advanced Irish
Rhythm: A strong regular repeated pattern of music or sound. Our God not only created music, but He created every sound we hear, including each unqiue rhythmical pattern.
Yahweh
Ballet 1B
I am Yahweh, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, or My praise to idols.” Isaiah 42:8 This year we have been talking about what it means to give glory to the Lord and the Lord alone. As the words to this song say, "there will be no other god before you."
