School of The Arts
We continue to provide excellence in performing arts education at Reverent Rhythms through our school of the arts through weekly classes in various styles including ballet, jazz, hip hop, musical theater, acrobatics, tap, contemporary, aerial silks and worship dance. Through our school of the arts, we offer a scholarship program that makes it possible for families in need to receive excellence in performing arts education in an encouraging and uplifting environment. These scholarships are made up of full and partial tuition and work-trade scholarships. Reverent Rhythms school of the arts continues to produce two student productions each school year, one in the fall and one in the spring. We are continually blown away by our students and their families. We have witnessed God moving in miraculous ways through performing arts classes and our student productions. Our students at Reverent Rhythms school of the arts are flourishing, not only in their dance technique and performance, but also emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We are truly seeing the impact of coming alongside families to encourage, support, and foster relationships through the performing arts.
