Covenant Ballet

Covenant Christian School has partnered with Michelle Williams of The Panama City Dance Academy to create a ballet/dance program that is both praiseworthy as well as classically-minded. Michelle has been a dance instructor for 19 years and has lots of experience with competitive dance where her students have excelled.

Ballet classes will begin the week of October 12. Sign-up sheets are available in the school office as well as a time sheet indicating the age-group of students and times those classes are offered. The ballet room will be located in the upstairs classroom in the gym.

A meet and greet with Michelle and her team of ballerinas will be held on Tuesday night, October 6 at 6:00 in the Fellowship Hall. If you would like to meet Michelle, please use this opportunity to do so. Tuition rates, dress code, trophy, and recital information will be discussed at this meeting. If you are unable to attend, you may pick up an information packet in the front office. As always, non-Covenant students are welcome to join the classes.
