DANCE

For dancers interested in developing their talent, our dance ministry offers in-depth training and support.

SYNOPSIS

Our adult dance ministry includes the following divisions:

Pageantry Dancers
Technical Dancers
The Select Team

All dancers are required to actively participate in the pageantry team.

Pageantry Dancers

The pageantry dance training includes a diverse mix of dance patterns that will support any musical beat or tempo. Some patterns will focus on directional changes, fall, and recovery (going to the floor and getting back up gracefully) and fundamentals of rhythm, timing, and temp. Dancers will explore pattern selection for songs, as well as how to connect the patterns.

Some patterns will include using props such as tambourines, ribbons, flags, veils, and billows. Other patterns will focus on lyrical movement, applying technique, emotion, and expression.

Technical Dancers / Select Team

The technique and choreography classes are designed to develop and strengthen your dance skills. This class will focus on techniques, including lyrical, jazz, modern, ballet, West African, leaps, turns, lifts, and much more. Core and endurance strengthening drills will help to mature your technique and passion for effective ministry. Dancers are selected (by the director) to join the Tech Team or the Select Team. Those who study this robust curriculum will discover advanced choreography and techniques for special dance programs throughout the year.

Dance Strengthening Classes

Using the proper techniques as outlined by seasoned instructors, participants will discover how to execute choreography with confidence and poise.

Regardless of your age, if you are passionate about the things of God and you have an affinity for dance and/or mime, we encourage you to audition for this phenomenal dance ministry.

Who We Are

The Potter’s House Arts and Music Department consists of professional, semi-professional, and amateur musicians, singers, artists, dancers, writers, and actors, among other creatives. We are Christ-centered, purpose driven, and committed to serving our church and community with our God-given talents. Our culture is centered on cultivating servant leaders, valuing our creative investments, and preparing for excellence in every ministry opportunity.

Music

Experience authentic praise and worship, where the sound of music commands God's presence to shift the atmosphere. Brokenness and fear are transformed into wholeness and confidence, as our talented ensemble performs songs to the cadence of God's anointing every Sunday. Each month music ministry leaders discover talented artists during our music and fine arts open calls. These musicians represent members of The Potter's House congregation committed to serving God through music and fine arts.

The artistic efforts of our music department have garnered national acclaim, winning a Grammy Award for the 2003 CD release entitled, "A Wing and a Prayer," among other honors. As our music department continues to expand its repertoire of liturgy, from contemporary gospel to soulful classics, it remains true to the unwavering reverence of God.

Dance

Storytelling through the art of dance is a spiritual experience for all involved. Dance movements inspired by jazz, ballet, modern, lyrical, and West African, among other genres, can uncover the intricacies of God’s Word that other art forms abandon. The Potter’s House Dance & Mime Ministry provides an opportunity for dancers to glorify God through the art of dance and mime. With technical acumen and a heart for Christ, dancers perform beautifully choreographed routines for an audience of thousands every Sunday, as well as at various events throughout the year.

Professional instructors equip dancers with extensive training in the areas of rhythm, tempo, timing, body awareness, and execution, among other competencies. Dancers explore diverse forms of dance styles, including ballet, jazz, modern, West African, hip hop, pageantry, and lyrical, as well as across-the-floor techniques, mime, and team-building exercises.

DRAMA

Centered around biblical themes and characters, from stories of Noah’s Ark to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, this ministry creates faith-based experiences for the entire family. Dallas-Fort Worth area actors, writers, and production volunteers (stage managers, makeup artists, crew and costume designers) are encouraged to showcase their talents through our dramatic arts ministry.

As a creative, you will hone your skills by participating in intensive labs, including playwriting, film scripting, fundamentals of acting, and so much more. Our multitalented ministry writes, develops, and produces original plays, web series, commercials, and short films, among other Christ-centered projects. Throughout the year, writers script special events for all areas of the house as needed.
