OUR DESIGN

We teach more than dance! We teach dance from the inside out! Confidence and Humility! Skill and Character are equally important! It is our goal for our students to learn dance skills and valuable lessons that prepares them for life! Your technique may get you the job/audition, but arrogance and habitual lateness will get you fired! Dance provides more than just opportunities to perform on stage. It increases confidence, focus, concentration, listening skills and memory skills. It also aids in developing discipline, self motivation, commitment, responsibility, accountability, team work and so much more!

We invite you to share in our passion for dance and our desire to share our passion through anointed artistry. We are fortunate and blessed to dance in major parades, special events and professional staged performances. As well as conducting our own annual dance concerts, Winter Showcases and community projects.

Our goal is to prepare the dancer in body and spirit to glorify GOD through artistic excellence. We of Feet Of Faith Dance Company are the heirs of Jesus and will display his grace, mercy, revelation, greater works and anointing through the movement of dance. We don't dance to impress. We dance to express our love for GOD and to leave an impression of GOD's goodness and love upon our audience with the motive of winning lost souls to Christ, redemption and transforming minds, emotions and lives every time that we minister. It's in Jesus name that we pray, praise worship, live, dance and have our being.

"Dance It Out"

A Word From Our Founder & Director!

- Debbie Allen

"But out of limitations comes creativity"

Standing 6ft tall, I never quite fitted in with the "norm." I was born with the passion and burden to dance and choreograph. As a child I would put on dance concerts by dancing on top of coffee tables and align my stuff animals on the couch representing my audience. In 2010, the Lord called me to start my own christian dance company, but I ran from the call because I didn't have the confidence to start from scratch nor the courage to face my adversaries. I ran like Jonah did. I ended up in the belly of a whale. My "whale" was a dark season in which the people whom I once looked up to and anointed my head with oil betrayed me, rejected me, sabotaged me, prostituted my gift and crucified me. These people were jealous of me like Joseph brothers were jealous of his dream and whom he would become. The pain paralyzed me and robbed me of my peace, joy and self esteem. I ran like David ran from Saul. This murder of my gift, my integrity and my anointing felt like Cain and Abel. I no longer wanted to be gifted or anointed. I wanted to be average. I preferred to sell my birth right like Esau in order to gain temporal approval. However, what my enemies meant for my bad God used for my good and growth. GOD favored me, loved me, released me and used this pain as my contractions to birth Feet Of Faith Dance Company.

Feet Of Faith Dance Company is a modern contemporary christian faith based dance company. Our dancers are trained in more than just liturgical style of dance. Feet Of Faith Dace Company embraces all genres of dance. This company was developed with the idea of presenting new, innovative, fresh, unpredictable artistic vision through our performances, collaborations and community projects. With each dance creation diving deeper into the hearts of our audiences. Our movement language speaks to one's soul and life's experiences. Never compromising our faith in Jesus Christ! Feet Of Faith Dance Company is a unique set of dancers. We echo and reflect the cries, laughter, tension, pain, joy, faith, worry and doubt of the human spirit upon the stage. Our dancers are challenged by dancing "outside of the box", fear isn't an option. Full abandonment of "I can't" and self brings our works to life. I am both humbled and excited to present to the universe raw beauty, addictive visual sound, art and fierce faith. Feet Of Faith Dance Company.
