- - A portion of the class is devoted to learning fundamental ballet positions & steps
- - This element involves learning to express the lyrics through facial expressions and movements. Dramatic expression is one of the most powerful ways to relay a message. In this way, the song's meaning can have a greater impact.
- - Many times in scripture, people used dance as a means of personal praise & worship. We encourage students to follow their example by giving them the opportunity to use the steps they have learned to personally express their love for the Lord.
- - Traditionally this type of dance has been primarily used for celebrations. These steps are sometimes incorporated into class time and choreography.
- - We believe that an intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father is the first step to ministry, and therefore we devote a portion of class to Bible study, discussion and prayer.
- - Every Worship Dance class will learn a dance for the presentation at the end of the session.

Parker Christian Home Educators (PCHE)
Who We Are
Welcome and thank you so much for your interest in PCHE. We are here to walk side by side with you throughout your homeschooling journey and help you follow the Lord's leading in your homeschooling endeavors.
PCHE is a homeschooling support group which offers educational and social activities for our homeschooled children, provides parents with support, information, and encouraging fellowship for the homeschooling journey, and promotes Christ-centered, Parent-Directed, Non-Government funded homeschooling.
We are made up of parents actively involved in providing a Christ-centered, quality education for our children, spiritually, morally, and academically. We are teaching our children Christ-like character and godly wisdom. We believe it is the ultimate responsibility of parents to train their children in the ways of God and in the knowledge needed to participate in society according to God's standards. Unless the Lord builds this homeschool support group and the families and individuals in it, we will labor in vain.
The leadership consists of volunteers who are training and educating their children along with being wives and mothers. We encourage the active participation of our members as they contribute to the strength and uniqueness of our group.

American Heritage Girls
Mission
"Building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country"
Vision
American Heritage Girls is the premier national character development organization for young women that embraces Christian values and encourages family involvement.
What: Any girl age 5-18 can be an American Heritage Girl. Girls of all different backgrounds are welcome and are encouraged to join at any age! You don't have to start as a Pathfinder (age 5) in order to gain the benefits from participating in the AHG Program.
There are five Program Levels in American Heritage Girls. Troops may offer all five Levels, if there are girls and Leaders available for each. However, it is common for new Troops to begin with only a few Levels.
AHG’s multi-Level structure means that girls from all Program Levels meet together as a single Troop at the same time, though they may split into Levels for certain activities.
