Founded in 1992 by Dr. Amanda F. Standard, Artistic /Executive Director, Divine Dance Institute’s goal has been to provide a broad spectrum of arts education, preparing servants for the continually evolving choreographic/technical arenas in the art of dance, all within a nurturing and professional environment. Divine Dance Institute (DDI) is the culmination of years of hard work and a firm belief in dance as a positive force that not just titillates the senses, but touches the heart. Seamlessly integrating the mission minded, message driven movement with technical development, the school has been developing new programs while maintaining its original premise of integrity and quality without compromising the spiritual and physical standards. DDI provides an environment that is conducive to arts education and academic enrichment which prepares people for the continually evolving international arts arena. The school at DDI offers an open community wide dance and drama program, an after school enrichment program, and a full day summer S.T.E.A.M. enrichment program. It is also the home of pre-professional contemporary outreach dance ensembles (Breezes, Pneuma, Wind & Whirlwind) and now a team of professional moving artists, SoundXpressed Dance Company. We develop dynamic instruments to play a positive role in making harmonious music in the hearts of all who encounter their expressions through movement and dramatic presentation. It is the fulfillment of DDI’s vision to be a source of impartation, and inspiration for those who want to make an impact in the community through the performing arts.
