In His Steps Mission Statement
|
|
To provide a spiritually nourishing environment in which dancers
can learn the arts of tap, jazz, ballet, pointe and Irish dance while maintaining the Catholic values of purity
and modesty.
|
| Cherubs gathered for prayer |
Each class has a different combination of styles of dance that
are taught. Cherubs work on ballet. Lambs learn tap and ballet. Lilies study tap, jazz, and ballet. Daddy's
Girls focus on ballet (regular ballet and pointe.) All of the above classes also dance with ribbons that are attached
to sticks, as class time permits. Sons of Thunder is a boys' tap class and the Irish Ceili dance class is co-ed
and works exclusively on Irish folk dancing. The dance classes take place at St.
Jude Catholic School in Joliet.

Comments from parents of current or past dancers:
- "Thank you so much for the wonderful experience Mary has had in your
dance classes. It was quite a distance for me to drive, but it was worth it. Seeing you pray with the dancers
and helping them see that they can even dance for the Glory of God was refreshing. I appreciated the choices of music
you used for the dancers to dance to as well as the age-appropriate dance steps. I am sure that God will continue to
bless you as you share your gifts of teaching with His precious daughters!"
- "It was a wonderful class! You did a great job!"
- "You have covered many more aspects [of dance]than I would have expected.
Your choices of music are admirable."
- "Keep up the good work! I love the Catholic music incorporated
with the dance."
- "I thought you did a great job. Nice balance of having fun and
instruction."
