Talk! But probably just me and Sarah.
Anyway, has anyone heard about reign, danced there, or seen one of the shows?
Mommy's Helper
No.
Dance4Him
Ok. reign Dance Theter is a really cool, strong christian dance studio. Sarah danced there, and I am going to this/next year.
Mommy's Helper
Cool!
And I think it's spelled "Theater". :)
Dance4Him
I know.
Mommy's Helper
It's just easier spelling it the other way? facedesk
Dance4Him
No. I was quite in a hurry and made a typo.
Mommy's Helper
Oh.
Dance4Him
Sorry for all the bad spelling! Anyway, check out the trailer for Reign Dance Theater's next production, On the High Seas!

Wish I could come see it. Seriously, that trailer made me genuinely interested. Looks like a really high-quality production (especially for a 'Christian' theatre)!
Dance4Him
It really is an amazing performance! There is 9 months of preparation, and 4 of them are very intense. They even make their own costumes so they are modest!
Sarah B.
So, do you do reign dance, or just enjoy watching it? :) It does look really neat!
Dance4Him
I've see two performances so far, and I am dancing there this year!
Sarah B.
Really? Really? Oh wow! That's awesome!
Dance4Him
It's awesome!!! I am an angel, pirate, and seaweed in the preformance!
Sarah B.
So you are actively involved in this dance theater (On the High Seas)!? How long do/did you have to do it to be that experienced?
Dance4Him
Not a ton, I don't do pointe or anything, but I do go there up to three times a week. The neat thing about RDT is that it is open to anyone 7- adult, no matter their experince.
Sarah B.
I am really interested! If only… if only I could drive! :/
Dance4Him
Find someone on here who can drive, and bring a carload of em ip here…
Sarah B.
That sounds awesome! Can you please tell me when the tickets are available? I might try to see what I can get together (maybe nothing…. but worth a shot). ;)
Dance4Him
Alrighty, I will! They should be out if a few weeks, but I don't know exactly when.
Sarah B.
Alrighty, I will! They should be out if a few weeks, but I don't know exactly when.
Thanks so much! XD This will be awesome if it works out.
Dance4Him
I know! And I might get to meet a few of you!
Sarah B.
Yep! Maybe. :) I showed my Grandmother the trailer… she was thrilled. :)
Dance4Him
Tickets are now for sale!!!

Wow, that looks almost identical to the performances of a Christian dance company we have here in Ohio called "Praise His Name with Dancing." I don't know what kind of songs you guys dance to, but the type of dancing, the props, the sets, etc., all looked very similar to what our company here does. I used to be involved in it. Did it for around four years. =)

What kind of dance do they do? RDT is mainly ballet, but there are a few waltzes, and I could maybe see a one or two passing as modern.

The girls do almost exclusively ballet or variations of it. But the guys tend to do more modern dance – especially if they're assigned a rap song. Most of the music is Contemporary Christian, and then some lean more towards rock or hip-hop.
Dance4Him
Some of the songs in this years show are:
Sometimes he calms the storm ( Scott someone)
Amazing grace ( Chris Tomlin)
Dive ( Steven Curtis chapman)
The second song in the trailer
The reason I said some would pass as modern is because it is not just dance, it is theater. For example, there is a storm, so the sailors are doing handstands, and rolling on the floor. Another instance is the dance irked battle, which is mostly swordplay.
Christian Alexander
Yeah, that sounds a lot like what the company here does.

Had no idea that Christian has any interest at all in dance
Christian Alexander
Most people don't. =P
I was really in it because I wanted to move up to the level where I could do the Christian hip-hop/rap songs. But the requirement was four years of experience, and I quit after the four year. =P Classes were expensive and also a big commitment, and my life was getting busier, so I just couldn't do it anymore. Most of the years, I was in a group that danced to a Jeremy Camp song. I think I did that three times. And then the one other year was a Steve Camp song, which was probably my favorite. Mostly just CCM stuff. But the performances as a whole were always excellent. Largely gospel-centered, but very artistically pulled-off. My favorite one was the one they did last year based on Beauty and the Beast. Only they made it a story about the impact of the gospel on the heart of a sinner (the beast), and it was absolutely beautiful. Wish I could have been a part of that one.
