Our annual Summer Dance Intensive is a six-week program for dancers rising 5th-12th grade. During the summer, dancers will focus on developing modern and contemporary dance styles in addition to classical ballet technique in a Christian environment. Summer class schedules also include rehearsals that lead up to this year’s Summer Showcase “Encounters With Christ”. For many of our dancers, this is their favorite time of year where they are able to gain more performance experience and explore different dance styles!

Head to our website to register and see more details!

We can’t wait to share an early “Peek at The Promise” with you all!

This is a free, come-and-go event. Come meet the characters of The Promise in their beautiful costumes, get your photo taken with them, and grab your copy of the brand new book “The Promise”!

“The Promise” was written by our very own Mrs. Peggy, capturing the story of The Promise in a beautiful, meaningful way. We know you’ll love reading the story that will come to life onstage in just a few weeks!

You can pre-order the book through our website, and pick it up as you arrive at the event. Get your copy signed by your favorite dancers including Josephine, the Three Sisters, Madame LeClaire, and The Spirit of The Promise!

We are excited to share our next performance, “Let Praise Arise”, with our friends and audiences up in Tennessee!

During this powerful night of worship at Highlands Church of the Cumberlands , Ballet Exaltation and Immanuel will perform a collection of our favorite worship pieces including “All Hail King Jesus” and ”Creation Waits”. Our prayer is for the Lord to use this performance to open eyes to see the goodness of God and draw use closer to Him through worship. Join us as we praise His name together!

“I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.” -Psalm 108:3-5

Briarwood Ballet's Mommy & Me Classes begin on January 15!

We’re still in awe of all that the Lord did during “Light of Heaven”! We are full of gratitude for all the hard work and beauty our incredible dancers poured into this performance. The evening was truly a glimpse into heaven, and we hope it provided our audiences a deeper understanding of what Jesus did for us at Christmas 🤍
