Risen

 Coming March 2027 

Ballet Rejoice will unveil an all-new, incredibly powerful work of art, a completely original presentation of the Easter story.

This artistic retelling of Christ’s passion and resurrection will be a powerful fusion of dance, live choral music, and visual art, fully immersive and deeply moving. It will be one of the most meaningful works we have ever created, impacting thousands in our community. Though we cannot fully fathom the wonder and magnitude of His passion and resurrection, it is worthy of our very best efforts as artists to create a work that reflects both the suffering and the glory of his story which has impacted the world throughout all of time.

We invite dancers, musicians, & singers to be part of this life-changing experience.
