2023-2024
Compañía Momentum, MCREW & ¡¡¡MCREW JV!!!

What is Momentum Company?

Momentum is an auditioned group of Maranatha’s most committed dancers who are wanting to increase their training and have more performance opportunities while building lasting friendships, serving our community, and experiencing growth in their relationship with Christ. Company members work on choreography pieces throughout the year, and are expected to serve as leaders and set a positive example in the studio. Technique classes and company rehearsals emphasize the importance of excellence in dance training as well as in personal character. Any dancers in our leveled/teen programs are invited to audition!

What is MCrew and MCrew JV?

MCrew is the Hip Hop extension of Momentum Company. MCrew auditions are open to 7th-12th grade dancers in our leveled hip hop program.

And heading into its second season… MCREW JV!!! Mcrew JV auditions are open to 3rd-7th grade dancers in our leveled hip-hop program.

Nuestro objetivo

Community-Momentum y MCREW brindan oportunidades para que los bailarines interactúen con sus compañeros aquí en el estudio y desarrollen amistades significativas. Esto incluye nuestro programa muy especial Big/Little Sister (o hermano), donde los bailarines de la compañía se emparejan con un miembro mayor o más joven de la compañía para obtener modelos positivos y tutoría.

Ministerio- Los bailarines de Momentum y MCREW tienen el privilegio de actuar en toda la comunidad varias veces durante el transcurso de la temporada, así como algunas oportunidades de servicio voluntario. También se divierten con un evento de filmación a mitad de año como otra forma de impactar a nuestra comunidad compartiendo nuestros bailes en las redes sociales.

Discipulado: el discipulado intencional es una parte importante de nuestra compañía y de los tiempos de ensayo de MCREW, ya que profundiza en la palabra de Dios y brinda a los bailarines espacio para compartir sus necesidades de oración, así como también orar con ingenio.h y el uno para el otro. Los bailarines también están invitados a unirse a nosotros en Orlando para la conferencia Dance Revolution, que es un fin de semana increíble para el alma, la mente y el cuerpo del bailarín (requerido para bailarines de compañía de nivel 3+).
