Description

Our core program, the Yahweh Ballet Training Program for students ages 3 to adult. This program trains with excellence the art of the dancer in the discipline of ballet, and the heart of the dancer to glorify and worship the Lord. (Psalm 149:3 – Let them praise His name with dance and make music to Him with timbrel and harp.) Dancers train to be part of The Yahweh Ballet - Christian Ballet Company of Excellence - which performs several full length ballets annually and has a repertoire ranging from classical to modern. Original works and full length ballets performed include the Dance of Mary Magdalene; Christmas Through the Eyes of Mary; Savior (about the birth of Jesus Christ); Miracles (about the miracles performed by Jesus Christ during his walk on the earth) and a prolife ballet called The Life Ballet. The Yahweh Ballet also performs at local churches and community venues throughout the year including half time at the Rochester Rhinos game. The ballet company will be touring with The Life Ballet this summer and has been invited to appear on The Miracle Channel located in Lethbridge, Canada. Founder and director Sandy Arena was just named by the Rochester Genesee Valley Club as one of the 175 Empowered Women in Rochester who have made outstanding contributions to the community at a ceremony in City Hall as part of the city of Rochester’s 175th Anniversary.
