We want to join you in worship!

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!" Psalm 150:6


Sharing the Love of Jesus Through Worshipful Dance


Paradosi Ballet Company exists to glorify Jesus through the art of dance. We are a parachurch ministry called to come alongside churches, schools, and Christian organizations to help lead people into the presence of God through worship.


We don’t dance to entertainers;
we dance to worship Jesus and to make Him known.


Through movement, testimony, and the truth of Scripture, our prayer is to encourage believers, plant seeds of faith, and reach hearts with the hope of the Gospel. Every performance is an opportunity for worship and discipleship, pointing people to the beauty of Jesus.


Paradosi regularly partners with churches, ministries, and community organizations to create Christ-centered worship and outreach events, including:

  • Church services, worship nights, and prayer gatherings
  • Women’s and youth ministry events
  • K–12 school assemblies and chapels
  • University and campus ministry events
  • Assisted living and retirement communities
  • Rehab centers and homeless shelters
  • Multi-ministry outreach events and fundraisers
  • Fairs, festivals, and community celebrations

If you’re seeking a way to share the Gospel, encourage your community, and worship together through the arts, we would be honored to prayerfully explore how we can partner with you.



"Let them praise His name with dancing!"

Psalm 149:3

Worship Through Dance

“Praise His name with dancing.”

 Psalm 149:3


"Through the arts we will worship God, love people, share the Gospel, and make disciples of Jesus everywhere we go!"


We are, first and foremost, worshipers.


The name Paradosi comes from a Greek word meaning “to surrender.” It reflects our heart to offer our gifts back to God as an act of worship. Dance is the language we use to glorify Jesus, share His love, and invite others to experience His presence.


As a worship ministry, it is our joy to partner with churches, schools, and organizations to help lead people into deeper worship and share the hope of the Gospel. Whether it’s during a regular service, a special event, or an outreach program, we seek to glorify God through every movement, testimony, and interaction.

  • What Are the Costs of Bringing Paradosi to Your Community?


    We never want finances to be a barrier to sharing the Gospel through worship.


    Paradosi does not charge a booking fee, sell tickets, or require a set honorarium. Everything we do is made possible through donations from the churches and organizations we partner with in ministry. We invite each partner organization to prayerfully consider supporting the Gospel work of Paradosi through a gift or love offering that is meaningful to their church or ministry.


    When considering your gift, please keep in mind that each event involves direct expenses such as:

    • Travel (ground and air)
    • Meals and lodging
    • Costumes, supplies, and equipment
    • Ministry operations and outreach support

    All gifts received go directly to support our mission of worship, evangelism, and discipleship through the arts.


    “Each one should give according to what he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

    2 Corinthians 9:7


    💬 Limited Resources?

    If finances are a challenge for your organization, please do not hesitate to reach out. If your vision aligns with our mission and we have the availability and capacity, we would be honored to partner with you.

    We never want finances to prevent an opportunity to glorify Jesus together.


    Travel and Tour Support

    If your event is part of a tour or located more than two hours from our home studio in Tacoma, WA (ZIP 98409), we kindly ask the hosting organization to assist with the following:

    🍽️ Meals

    • Meals may be provided by the church or organization
    • Or arranged through local restaurants, catering, or meal stipends

    🛏️ Housing

    • Options may include host homes, hotels, motels, or short-term rentals such as Airbnb or VRBO
    • We are actively fundraising for a motorhome to reduce our travel housing needs. Once this is secured, these requests may be waived for many events.

  • Venue & Technical Information

    Paradosi is highly adaptable and has ministered in a wide variety of spaces—including churches, schools, care centers, universities, theaters, fairs, festivals, and community events. We aim to serve with flexibility while ensuring the safety and effectiveness of each worship experience.

  • Creating space for hearts to encounter Jesus.


    Paradosi's programs are beautifully crafted to engage hearts through the arts, but our goal is not to impress, it's to point people to Jesus. 


    While guests and staff may come expecting a performance, they often leave saying: 

    “that wasn't a show... that was worship." 


    While what we do may resemble a performance on the surface, our heart and intention are entirely different. We are a worship ministry, and everything we present - from the music to the movement to the testimonies - is offered to glorify Jesus and make Him known.We use dance, music, and testimony to create space for the Holy Spirit to move. Whether in a church, care center, school, or outreach event, our desire if for every person - believer or not - to encounter the love, hope, beauty, and truth of Jesus Christ. 


    We don’t dance to entertain. We dance to worship God and to lead others into His presence.


    We know that some people will attend one of our programs expecting a performance, and we welcome that! Many of our ministry events, especially women’s gatherings and outreach nights, are designed to be invitational. Friends, neighbors, and loved ones are drawn in by the beauty of the arts, but it is Jesus they encounter during the experience.


    This is why we refer to our presentations as “worship programs” rather than “performances,” because:

    • A performance is meant to impress or entertain.

    • A worship program is meant to glorify God and invite people into His love.

    “Through the arts we will Worship God, Love People, Share the Gospel, and Make Disciples of Jesus everywhere we go.” This mission defines everything we do whether we’re dancing on a stage, visiting a care center, or teaching students how to use their gifts for the glory of God.


    When we dance, it is our prayer that people will see a glimpse of the beauty, hope, and love of Jesus and be drawn to Him.
    When we teach, we equip dancers not only in skill but in understanding how to surrender their gifts back to God in worship.


    “But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
    — John 4:23–24


    We are humbled to be a part of how God uses the arts to reach hearts—and we count it a joy when someone comes for a “show” and walks away having encountered something far more eternal.
