Calling for Praise Dancers for our Festivals Currently we are looking for praise dance groups and individuals to minister in our praise dance festivals in the Bay Area, Sacramento and Los Angeles. The purpose of our festivals is to come together as a community to fellowship and celebrate the Gospel through dance. As a participant in the festival you will have the opportunity to minister to a diverse community in a professional theater setting. You will receive close mentorship from Ross professional staff that will provide ongoing support, consultation and personally meet with your ministry to give feedback on your piece. At Ross Dance, we continue to look for ways in which we can support and strengthen praise dance ministries. One of the ways we do this is by pouring back into groups through our monetary awards offered at the festivals. The purpose of these awards is to not create a competitive atmosphere but it is solely to be a blessing to other ministries so that they may have additional resources to support the work they are doing for God’s kingdom. If you are looking for a unique opportunity to excel your ministry and use your talent as a way to bring those closer to Christ, then we encourage you and your ministry to apply to our 2012 festivals!

2012 Praise Dance Conferences Ross Dance Company is pleased to announce that this summer we will be presenting our Bay Area Praise Dance Conference on Saturday June 23, 2012 at Oakland's Malonga Center for the Arts with two separate programs for adults and children (ages 7-11). On Saturday July 28, 2012 we will be offering our Los Angeles Praise Dance Conference at LA's Psalms 30:11 School of Dance.
For our conferences we offer a full day of classes and workshops to assist praise dancers, choreographers, and directors in strengthening their praise ministries and dance technique. We provide classes on leadership, choreography, performance skills and dance technique. One of our objectives is to provide an encouraging environment where individuals can fellowship together while learning skills that will be helpful in starting or managing a praise dance ministry.
For our children's conference in Oakland we create a fun and supportive environment where they learn basic dance technique, performance skills and praise dance choreography. To receive a discounted rate for our conferences submit your registration by April 5th (Bay Area) and May 15th (LA). Regular registration is June 5th (Bay Area) and July 15th (LA).
