Dancing by the Power Ministries and the Gospel Lights Liturgical Dance Ministry are delighted to make Joe’s Movement Emporium their home base. Dancing by the Power Ministries, Inc. a non-denominational, non-profit organization is the parent company of the Gospel Lights Liturgical Dance Ministry which was founded in 1994 by Pauline and Ronya-Lee Anderson, a mother and daughter team. Together DPM and the Gospel lights seek to transform the lives of young people through the performing arts with liturgical dance as its primary medium. Weekly technique classes, workshops, Scripture studies and mentoring programs are the primary mediums of enrichment both for our members and the community.
