The Dance Ministry of Word Up Ministries, Inc.
The Dance Company began in the year of 2001 as Word Up Dance Ministry by Patty James, Founder/Teacher. She hired Thera Ward to commence the ministry. It began with five dancers. Min Thera's job was to instruct the dancers how to go forward in dance as a ministry. In 2002 she left as planned and left the ministry in the hands of Malaika Walker. From 2002 through 2013 the company has seen seven directors and is now under the direction of Casey Bell.
Word Up Dance Company

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praise unto him with the timbrel and harp. For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. PSALMS 149: 3&4
Vision for Dance Company: ONENESS
Goal: As we express our love and adoration to God through dance before God's people, the
spirit of unity is released. In unity strongholds are taken down, captives are set free, healing
takes place, souls are being delivered and pure worship takes place.
COMMITMENT, DEDICATION, COMMUNICATION
Our policy: Must attend all meetings in order to dance regardless if not dancing that particular
week; we are here to support one another.
