In 2004, Leap of Faith started with just a few dancers in a small room in a church. Since then, they’ve grown into much more than a dance studio. Leap of Faith is a true community, offering students two important things: a solid foundation in dance and a solid foundation for life. And we’re making a big impact in our community with these powerful lessons in dance, life and faith. Led by instructors with more than 30 years of dance and choreography experience, Leap of Faith provides a safe and positive place for students to explore their talents and to discover the ties they share with others through dance and faith. They offer a wide range of classes so that dancers can freely explore their talents – whether in ballet, jazz, tap, modern or liturgical dance. They expose students of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels to proper dance technique, all sorts of people and ideas, and opportunities to explore and express their personal faith.
