About
Liturgical dance is defined as a sacred dance that is holy, set apart and done only for the glory of the Lord in a public worship setting (Brown-Phillips, 2019).

My Testimony
God made me an artist, and I’ve always felt drawn to creative expression—especially through movement. After high school, that desire grew stronger, along with a clear calling to worship God through dance. It was only later that I discovered this calling is deeply rooted in Scripture.
God has continually pushed me beyond my comfort zone—from dancing atop the Empire State Building in New York City, to creating and performing my own routine at a college talent show, to traveling to Philadelphia for a worship arts conference. I later earned a diploma in liturgical dance and began ministering through dance at my church.
During some of the darkest seasons of my life—including a period of homelessness and a deep depression during the COVID-19 lockdowns—God revealed His love to me in a powerful way. He brought me out of the darkness through the gift of liturgical dance.
My hope and prayer is that you would experience the love of God for yourself. Jesus is more than a story—He is alive. He loves you and is near to you in your suffering (John 11:35). For much of my life, I followed religion without truly knowing Him. But when I sincerely prayed and asked to know God personally, everything changed. That is when I began to experience His real and overwhelming love.
