HIS Dance Academy announces new partnership with The Salvation Army

HIS Dance Academy and The Salvation Army Kroc Center are proud to announce a new partnership to provide and expand Kroc Center dance programming beginning this fall.

 

HIS Dance Academy will send instructors to the Kroc Center to teach classes like beginning ballet and pre-ballet, plus a combined ballet/tap class and special “Mommy and Me” program that engages both parents and kids in learning basic dance concepts.

 

Classes will start with the Fall 1 session, which starts the week of Sept. 18. Registration for Fall 1 programs will be open from Aug. 1 through Sept. 12. Students who complete basic instruction at the Kroc Center will have the option of enrolling at the Academy’s new facility near the corner of 29th Street and Breton Avenue.

 

HIS Dance Academy is unique in the Grand Rapids area, combining excellence in dance instruction with Christian character development. Bible verses and lessons are incorporated into classes in ways that relate to the dance concepts being taught.

 

“Part of our mission is to use dance to reach the community for Christ.” said HIS Dance Academy co-founder Beth Huegli. “This partnership gives us a greater opportunity to meet our mission. We are very excited to work alongside the Kroc Center!”

 

Senior Kroc Officer, Lt. Bill Brutto, added, “Whether directly or indirectly, we try to infuse Christ’s love into all of our programs. Knowing that HIS Dance Academy shares that goal makes this an ideal partnership.”

 

The Kroc Center’s Fall 2017 program guide becomes available this week and includes all of the HIS Dance Academy offerings. Drop by the Kroc or visit GrKrocCenter.org to sign up or learn more.
