Mime & Praise Dancers

Mimes and dances can be combined into an art form where emotions and stories are conveyed through movement and gestures, not words. This combination uses expressive storytelling, often seen in ballet, where mime is used to enhance the narrative and connect with the audience. Praise & Mime Ministry is devoted to worshiping God wholeheartedly and ministering to His people and the lost souls through the expressions of praise, dance, and mime
Praise Dance
Praise dancing is a form of liturgical dance used in religious worship to express praise and worship to God through movement and music.
