How We Began
History
The genesis of Great Commission Studios came from the founder’s discovery of God’s love of dance as form of worship as illustrated in scripture in what she describes as divine disclosures from God of His plan to use the worship through dance to reach the nations for Christ.
As a Michigan non-profit (2018) and a 501c3 organization (2021), Great Commission Studios opened the dance studio to the public in 2021 to serve the greater Lansing population.
We invite everyone who wants to participate in worshipping our King and spreading the Gospel! Ask our team about a free trial class today!
