SUMMER DANCE INTENSIVE

  • Faith

    At SDI, we desire to usher students into times of personal & corporate worship! It’s a time of deepening their faith, and growing closer to the Lord.

    “I didn’t know I could worship God both in my dancing but also in how I lived my life. First Position showed me how to do both” - Dancer

  • Dance

    With special guest teachers and our SOTA instructors, dancers will be challenged, inspired and refreshed on the dance floor! Our goal for SDI is to give dancers an encounter that grows them as artists but gives them purpose to their dancing, which is found in using their gifts and talents to worship the Lord!

  • Community

    Our students get to experience community at SDI in such a fun way! Through our themed days and parties, fellowship time and more…students create friendships over this week that can last a lifetime!

Firm Foundations

At this year’s Summer Dance Intensive, we’re not just focusing on perfecting pirouettes, mastering choreography, or trying out exciting new styles —though all of those things will be amazing. 💃✨ More than that, we’re here to lay Firm Foundations in what truly matters: your faith in Jesus Christ.

Building a strong foundation is essential for every dancer, but it’s even more crucial for your walk with the Lord. Just like a solid foundation is key to balancing and executing movements in dance, having a firm foundation in your faith ensures you can stand strong when life gets tough. At SDI, we’ll explore what it means to root your life in Christ through:

Dancing is an important part of what we do at First Position—it allows us to express ourselves, glorify God with our bodies, and build a creative community. But why we dance is rooted in something much deeper. First Position exists to honor Christ and equip students like you with the tools to stand firm in faith no matter where life takes you.

This week is about so much more than dance—it’s about growing as a person and becoming someone who can confidently say, "My life is built on the rock of Jesus Christ." (Matthew 7:24-25) 🌊🏠

If you’re looking to have fun, try new dance styles, and deepen your connection with God, this is the place to be. SDI isn’t just a dance program—it’s an opportunity to build your faith, your community, and your foundation for a lifetime. 💖
