Merry Christmas from Paradosi Ballet Company!

Thank you for taking a moment to visit this Christmas page. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we want to share a glimpse of what God has done this year through your prayers, encouragement, and support. This has been a year marked by open doors, meaningful connections, and moments where lives were changed by the hope of Jesus.


2025 Year in Review


84 Outreach and Worship Events

By the end of December, our dancers will have ministered at 84 outreach events across the US and Europe. These programs took place in care centers, shelters, churches, schools, and public venues where people of all ages heard about the love of Jesus.


West Coast Tour

This spring we completed our first full West Coast Tour since 2020, sharing worship programs in Washington, Oregon, and California. It was a joy to connect and reconnect with communities and churches up and down the west coast as we led worship, shared the hope of Jesus, and taught master classes. 


Summer Dance Intensive

In June we welcomed dancers from across the United States to our Summer Dance Intensive in Tacoma. We witnessed significant artistic growth, deep spiritual conversations, and celebrated with several students who chose to follow Jesus for the first time. It continues to be one of the most impactful weeks of our year.


European Ministry Tour

In July our company traveled through France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, with a brief dip of our toes into Germany. We saw God move in powerful ways as we shared His hope through meaningful conversations, prayer, and worship. We were grateful to come along side our ministry partners in the Gospel work that they are doing and seeing lives transformed for Jesus!

Launching the 2025–2026 Season

After returning home in August, we took a short break before stepping into a new season of ministry. The months that followed have been full, fruitful, and filled with opportunities to love people well with the hope of Christ.


Fall and Christmas Outreach

Throughout the fall we continued ministering in care centers, shelters, and community events including the Washington State Fair. Christmas remains our busiest season with two to four programs each week throughout December. These gatherings often provide rare moments of joy and encouragement for people who need it most.


We are grateful for every door that God has opened and every life we have been able to touch in His name. Thank you for standing with us as we head out to share the hope of Jesus. We look forward to all that God has ahead in the coming year!

Looking Forward

As we look ahead to 2026, we do so with gratitude and anticipation. God has opened meaningful doors this past year, and we remain committed to worship, discipleship, outreach, and making Jesus known through dance wherever He leads in the months ahead.


How You Can Help
We would be grateful for your prayers as we prepare for the coming year. If you feel led to give a year-end gift, your support will help us finish 2025 well and step into 2026 ready for every opportunity God provides. Your generosity allows us to share the hope of Jesus in places that need encouragement, comfort, and light.

End of Year Giving

As we close 2025, we invite you to prayerfully consider supporting the ministry. Your generosity helps us meet our remaining budget needs for this year and prepares us to begin 2026 with strength. Every gift helps us continue sharing the gospel through dance, discipleship, and outreach.


Thank you for standing with us. We are grateful for your partnership in this work.


With gratitude,
Jeff and Larissa
Directors

2025 Christmas Worship Events

As we move toward the close of the calendar year, our hearts are set on preparing for a full season of Christmas outreach. This is always one of the most meaningful times of the year for our dancers and our ministry. Throughout December we will share the hope of Jesus in care centers, shelters, churches, and community gatherings across the Pacific Northwest. Many of these programs serve vulnerable populations and are not open to the public but we are grateful to have several community events everyone can attend! We hope to see you at one of these worship events, details below.
