Dancing with Integrity to Inspire!
It's not about us, it's all about Him! The Christian Dance Academy has an appreciation for using the talents given by God for His glory, rather than self-glory. Our instructors are focused on raising up a new generation of dancers with a heart for praise and worship dance.
Jackie
Hall – Ms. Jackie, as her students know her, is a living example of a
dancer for Christ. With over 30 years of experience, the ambitions for her own
studio started at her local church where she was involved with the dance team
ministry. Along with tremendous talent, she has worked on-site in local area
Christian schools where dance was taught as an extracurricular activity. Her vision and desire is to help students experience the joy of dancing as they increase their technique and develop their artistry. Above all, she wants her students to remember that their bodies are the temple of God and that dancing should always glorify Him. The ministry of CDA is a blessing and she has a passion to share her spiritual gift of dance with the community. Ms. Jackie is a wife and proud mother of five children.
