MKS News - December 2022
Wishing You a Christmas full of Peace and a Happy New Year!
Dancers Who Are Set Apart... in FAITH!
We are intentional about reviewing our monthly Bible verses that share the 2022-23 theme of Peace. This gives us the opportunity to encourage students in their walk and in their faith. It is our hope that our students are blessed by the encouragement of God's Word and His promises.
Younger students receive a little coloring sheet with the verse, and new this year - we are continuing that tradition and digging deeper with our older students! All of our IGNITE, GLOW, and ILLUMINATE students are going through Faith Builders in their classes.
Faith Builders are designed to help our dancers grow in their Faith, Dance, & Life! These monthly sheets challenge dancers to think through why they are dancing and the ways they can live out their faith through dance! We also discuss real-life examples of how to live out the monthly verse topics.
We continue to pray for our students and families and love to see our students grow into beautiful dancers who are set apart!
THE GIFT OF DANCE
Dance is such a gift to students! It promotes good health - physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally!
Did you know that students who take two classes a year make double the progress? If your dancer is looking for a bit more, being open-minded to adding an additional class or classes could expand their growth and opportunities!
No matter if a dancer is in one class or more, we pray that they are blessed beyond measure by the gift of dance!
