We want to join you in worship!

Sharing the love of Jesus through worshipful dance

As a parachurch ministry, Paradosi Ballet Company exists to come alongside churches and Christian organizations in leading people into the presence of God through worship. Our desire is to glorify Jesus in all we do—whether dancing, sharing testimonies, or presenting the Gospel.


We do not dance to entertain; we dance to worship Jesus and to make Him known.


Our prayer is that God would use us as vessels of His love to encourage believers, plant seeds of faith, and reach hearts through the beauty of movement and the truth of His Word.

If you are interested in bringing Paradosi to your event or worship gathering, we would love to prayerfully consider how we can partner with you.

Heart of Worship

Worship Through Dance


"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 of Jesus.


The name Paradosi comes from a Greek word meaning to surrender; this is a reflection of our desire to surrender our gifts back to God in worship.


As a worship ministry, it is our joy to partner with churches and organizations to lead people into the presence of God and to share the hope we have in Jesus. Whether as part of a regular worship 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 our 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 by donation. 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.


    💬 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 availability and capacity, we would be honored to partner with you. We never want finances to hinder the opportunity to glorify Jesus together.

    Arrival Time & Setup Needs

    This time is needed for:

    Events requiring full floor or backdrop setup will require up to 4 hours on-site before the start time.

  • 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.
