"Two of my daughters dance with Encounter Performing Arts Company, and I have been able to witness firsthand the quality of their training. Not only have they grown in technical skill, but they have also developed in strength of character, all while building wholesome relationships to last a lifetime. The art Encounter produces is skillful, beautiful, and worshipful, but the experience their artists are gaining goes so much deeper than dance. Truly, theirs is an instruction that forms the whole person and a ministry that touches the heart."
