Our mission: to share the love of Christ through the art of dance.

We seek to empower and encourage students in 6th – 12th grade to use their gifts for the glory of God through mission-oriented events and performances.

Perform with our main company 1-2 times a year, participate in outreach opportunities in the community, and grow technically and artistically during weekly rehearsals and classes.

Performance opportunities include...

• A full length production surrounding a Biblical passage or theme (i.e., Easter, the Lord’s Prayer, testimonies)

• Joining local churches during Sunday worship

• Retirement homes and community centers

• Festival and fundraisers in Harrisburg

• & more!

Our Youth Company rehearses on Friday afternoons from 4:30-6:30 pm in Mechanicsburg, PA.

Dancers should be entering 6th-12th grade at the start of the school year and have a minimum of 1-2 years of dance training. Enrollment in a weekly technique class at a local studio is required.

Tuition: $50 monthly, September-May, or $450 per year.

We’ve watched our daughter grow in her faith and dance joyfully with Christ in her heart. We are so grateful for EncounteredHeart and the many ways the teachers, dancers, and performances have moved us and the community.

 I have seen my students grow in their musicality, contemporary dance technique, and overall confidence as a part of this ministry, but perhaps the greatest blessing for them is the dear friends they make as a part of the youth company.

When Encountered Heart started their youth company, having my daughters participate was a no brainer.  As I watch them grow as young adults and dancers, I am so grateful for the blessing Encountered Heart has been in our lives.
