"Dancing for Jesus" is JoyFul Noise Ministries newest ministry partner

Jenni West, daughter of JFN founder, Mike Talbott, has brough her ministry of bible teaching, and dance instruction into the JFN umbrella of praise and worship arts ministries.

Ms. West began her ministry with 5 first and third grade children (one, her own daughter, Alexia) focusing on bible study and basic dance instruction (ballet, and tap) in 2005. Soon she had 7 students who, at the request of their Christian moms, wanted something more than a traditional dance school class.

Those 7 students had the opportunity to share what they were learning about Jesus and dance in the first "Dancing for Jesus" praise and worship dance performance at the Buffalo Evangelical Free Church in 2006.

Now, with some 80 students , Jenni and Corey West have "re-dedicated" the lower level of their home into a dance studio and learning center to teach young girls and boys all about Jesus and how to honor Him in their dance studies and performances.For more information, contact Jenni West at west.jenni@gmail.com 763-263-7685 or visit her site at www.dancingforjesusministry.blogspot.com.

Our Vision for "Dancing for Jesus"

We believe that every child can express themselves through the arts.

Teaching children dance in a loving and wholesome environment along with the teachings of Jesus gives them confidence.

Confidence, built upon an understanding of the Bible and it's promises and their new-found abilities to move in a rhythmic and choreographed way becomes the foundation, the reason, and the purpose for dance for these children
