The Central Valley has for years been an untapped and underdeveloped region for talented actors, musicians, dancers, and singers. In Fresno’s inner-city where 80% of all juvenile delinquents come from, the Kingdom Coalition is seeking to impact this by investing in the development of young artists.
Additionally, the Kingdom Coalition is investing in the continued development of these dancers beyond camp by incorporating them into the Kingdom Coalition’s Purposed II Praise School of Dance and Annual Community Wide Dance Production both founded and produced by Staci Jones. Goal: Increase the skill of emerging dancers and to become engaged in continuing developmental activities throughout the Valley
Mission
To Celebrate the human spirit through dance performance, arts education, and community-building. To Provide dance training for students from beginner to advanced.
Vision & Purpose
To create a dance studio with a warm, supportive atmosphere. To provide a social and spiritual forum for people with diverse interests, backgrounds and ages. To Provide training for men, women and children in various froms of dance to promote spiritual, physical and personal growth and enrichment
Purposed II Praise School of Dance offers affordable ongoing education in the ministry of dance. The school is strategically located in the inner-city of Fresno. A dance school, whose focus is on teaching technique and application with regards to the Gift of Movement, is the first of its kind in the Central valley.
Purposed II Praise Community Dance Production not only serves as the annual recital for the students who are a part of the Dance School, but also open to the community allowing an opportunity for men, women, youth and children to come together to learn several dance pieces, including sign-language, flagging, hip hop and mime. To increase skill level, promote unity within the ‘dance community’, to raise funds to support continued education in dance and the ‘Dancer Track’ at Dream Camp. This multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-class, multi-denominational event is the first of its kind in Fresno and has been a tremendous blessing to all who participate and attend the event.
