Something Big Dance Recital

That was the name - Something Big -- of the dance recital. The Bible verse under the picture on the front of the program:

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom." Psalm 145:3

Once again I was amazed.

Not by how beautiful Lindsay and Sarah looked, although they did. Not by the darling dance numbers, although they were. But rather I was amazed at the clarity of the presentation of God's Word in the middle of a dance recital.

Julie Mizell and her dance studio, Beautiful Feet, has honored God through their costumes, through their music and through their message. Out of 45 dance numbers, most had explicit Christian lyrics. In between each dance number a portion of Scripture was read by an elderly man with the most amazing radio voice I have ever heard. This recital was not mainly about dancing - it was mainly about Christ! Oh, for more business owners (and others - including myself) to have the boldness and love for Christ that Julie Mizell demonstrates through her dance studio.

We could not video tape during the performance, but have ordered a DVD and I am hopeful I can post a portion of the dances when I receive it.

Here are a few pictures of Lindsay and Sarah before the recital. This was their ballet costume. For their jazz routine, they replaced the poofy white skirt with some silver capris.


Lindsay - 7 years old - Spring 2009




Sarah - 9 years - Spring 2009









When my mom was here, she attended one of the girls' practices. Here the kiddos are practicing their ballet dance to Angus Dei .

Lyrics to the song:

Alleluia, alleluia
For the lord God almighty reigns
Alleluia, alleluia
For the lord God almighty reigns
Alleluia Holy, holy are you lord God almighty
Worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb
You are holy, holy are you lord God almighty
Worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb
Amen
