Heaven Everywhere
In 2023, our Arise Youth Ballet and Children’s Ballet Company performed a mesmerizing original ballet called “Heaven Everywhere.” This was the debut performance of our Arise Children’s Ballet.
This ballet is about the hope Christmas brings when we remember to celebrate the birth of our Saviour.

Seasons of You
It all began with an idea. Way back in 2019 and Ballet was born around the idea that each of us experiences a variety of seasons in our lives, and in each of those seasons, God shows up in a different way. Watch the Arise Youth Ballet dance out these different seasons of life. This Ballet was produced and filmed during lockdown, so click below to watch it and follow the link in the description to donate.
