This unique blend of ballet class and spiritual direction makes contemplation incarnational. The Prayerful Plié is a 6-week cohort that will dive into the intersection of theology and ballet practice, examining themes such as grace, turnout, and reverence.

Each themed week pairs selected theological readings with a customized ballet class which concludes with a period of journaling and reflection, using movement from class as the basis for our conversation.

The Prayerful Plié is for anyone interested in making dance a spiritual practice. If you’ve felt that extra “something” when you’ve danced ballet, if you know in your bones that this is more than just a physical practice, and you’re curious about how this can integrate into your spiritual life, this course is for you. Note: Though the ballet portion is for all skill levels, it is not an introductory class; you do need to have some prior knowledge of and experience with ballet, even if it’s just at a beginner level. If you have any questions about whether this practice is right for you, contact me.

Spring 2021 Cohort Registration is now open! Register by Wednesday April 28, to participate in a Spring 2021 Cohort.
