Miriam's Dance (2002)
After Moses freed the Israelites from Egypt and God miraculously led them through the Red Sea, Exodus 15 states that Moses' sister, Miriam, took a tambourine in her hand and led the women in a dance of praise and thanksgiving.  Miriam's dance highlights the spiritual place that all of us must come to in our lives where we can dance as Miriam did, the dance of freedom.  Whether we are enslaved mentally, physically, of spiritually, true freedom will not come until we know WHO can set us free.  Only in Christ Jesus can one be set free from pain, stress, financial burdens, and political trappings.  "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.  Stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1 NIV)

Back To Eden (2002)
Creation tells the first love story between  man and  woman and ultimately a love story  between God and man.  What would life have been like if Adam and Eve had not sinned?  Can we even imagine?   the peaceful ocean, beautiful animals of all kinds, no fear, no death, no hate, no sorrow, no crying or pain?  Our life on earth can not compare, not even remotely, to the endless beauty that we were purposed for.  Eden speaks of a peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding.  Sounds like what heaven will be like.

Joy and Pain (2002)
"I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices.  You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy." John 16: 20-24. Joy and Pain takes you through the highs of life and the lows of crisis and disappointment, yet never losing sight of the hope that always prevails.  Although there will always be days and times in our lives where everything seems to go wrong, Joy and Pain says don't give up, but give it, everything to God, and He will turn your weeping into laughter.  You must trust that He will handle every situation, as long as it is left in the hands of God.  Then experience the Joy.

Wade in the Water (2002)
"I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit...You must be born again."  John 3:5-7 This mini piece tells the story of one woman and a married couple's struggle with making the life changing decision to surrender their entire being to God.  Music by Jeff Majors.

What Love (2003)
Based on God's eternal and unconditional love for mankind through the sending of his Son, Jesus Christ, What Love brings the depth of the Gospel out in every piece.  Gospel favorites such as "What Is This", "What Price", "Oh How He Loves You and Me", "Love Divine", and "Love Is God" make this number resonate truth, comfort, and peace.

4 Women (2003)
The portrayal of four very different women, whose separate directions and painful life choices result in binding oppression, loss of self-identity, compromise, and bitterness.  Each one with their blinding pain and years of regret finds herself on a lonely road, at the end of hope, and led towards an undeniable inner search for the truth.  Will their paths that reveal the pride of life lead them home?  This musical theater piece touches everyone in a different way and leaves no one the same. Dance pieces in this number include: 4 Women, Pride of Life, Is My Living In Vain.

Masquerade (2003)
The story of a man and the story of a mask.  Anyone who chooses to wear a mask will cover the truth of themself and remain a prisoner to the very thing they long to be free from.  To mask your life, your pain, your gifts, your praise, your emotions is to keep yourself from being vulnerable.  And, anyone who hides long enough will not know how to find themself when they have had enough of living a fantasy.  When no one knows who you are, not even yourself, then all you can do, have to do, must do...is look up, pray up, cry up, moan up, scream up, and reach up to the only One who really know you, because He created you.  Then believe, and by your next heart beat your life will begin...freely

Don't Cry (2003)
Using the music of Kirk Franklin, this mini piece gives a detailed look at the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The audience and dancers alike are deeply moved by the Holy Spirit as they witness the sincerity and compassion of the way Jesus' body was taken care of after the crucifixion.  Then, the powerful resurrection of Christ takes Mary Magdalene by surprise ending with the magnificent celebration of the truth that the Son of Man lives.

Heaven (2004)
Heaven deals with  personal decisions that one must make on a daily basis as to whom they ultimately will serve.  This piece depicts the social ills and deception of everyday life, choices, and struggles that lead one to come face to face with the grappling truth of, "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve."  With the background music of Heaven set to songs by Nina Simone, Curtis Mayfield, and Shekinah Glory Ministry, this piece undoubtedly will take you through the inner thoughts of the human condition, the vulnerability of mankind, evoke a personal soul searching and finally bring the faithful Home for "blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God".  

Healing Waters (2004)
With original music by Curtis Maxwell and Chris Haynes, this though provoking dance takes you deep into the healing powers of water inspired by the Holy Spirit.  HEaling waters describes the journey through struggles and peace of trying to KNOW God  in a complete relationship. It "makes you thirsty for the healing waters."


Passages Through Job (2004)
"I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth."  Job 19:25
This dance chronicles the journey of five people who like Job, pass through seasons of suffering and still find the blessing in the valley that represents the wilderness of life and its sorrow.  In this valley they find that there is beauty for ashes, relief for their fears, healing for the broken, and companionship with God. For those that come near to the throne of Grace, they find help and mercy during their time of need.
