Did You Know . . . ?
Every year the Kingdom Dancer Dance Ministry has a theme that is closely related to the annual studio theme. We desire to share a message of hope and love with those in local senior centers and other community events. This year the studio is focusing on "Living the Life" - how we can live a life that reflects God's glory and helps us to know God better and better.
In Kingdom Dancers this year, we are focusing in on one person who lived a life devoted to God, and he did not waver in his faith - Daniel from the Old Testament. Daniel was determined to follow after God and refused to serve any idols or gods that were put before him - even if it meant he would face death. Daniel's example of steadfast and unwavering faith even helped to turn the heart of King Nebuchadnezzar toward God.
I am humbled and encouraged by Daniel's life and faith each time I watch the Kingdom Dancers tell that story through dance and drama at every event!

PREVENTING INJURY IN THE WINTER
Brrrr… it’s COLD out there! Winter has well and truly set in and we are more at risk of injury than we were in summer. Dance Informa consulted leading dance physio Lisa Howell, of Perfect Form Physiotherapy, to find out the best ways to stay healthy and strong during the cold months.
What is the best way to warm up for class?
This really depends on what type of class you are doing. Your warm-up should always be class-specific and take into account what state your body is in on that particular day. If you have just been sitting in school classes for the last couple of hours, you’ll need to do a lot more mobilizing exercises in your warm up than you would if you have just come straight from another dance class, or walked half an hour to the studio.
