A Final Curtain Call for Instruments Ballet

Dear Instruments Family,

 

It is with deep sadness and tender reflection that we share the news that Instruments Ballet will be closing its doors as of July 1st. All summer classes and camps are canceled. 

 

For years, this studio has been more than a place to dance. It has been a sanctuary of worship, a haven of creativity, and a beloved home for so many young artists and families. Together, we have built something beautiful—a community rooted in faith, excellence, and joy.

 

This decision has not come easily. It follows much prayer, discernment, and consideration. While our hearts ache, we are at peace knowing that the seeds sown here—seeds of worship, discipline, beauty, and courage—will continue to grow in every dancer who has walked through our doors.

 

To our students past and present: you are the legacy of Instruments. Thank you for dancing with all your heart and pointing others to Christ through your movement.

 

To our families: Thank you for believing in this vision, for entrusting us with your children, and for your unwavering support.

 

And to our staff and volunteers: Thank you for pouring yourselves into this ministry with humility, grace, and passion.

 

While this chapter closes, we trust the Lord is writing a greater story still. May everything we’ve done as Instruments continue to echo for His glory.

 

THERE WILL BE A FINAL TEACHER/ADULT/TEEN BALLET CLASS AT 10:00 ON TUESDAY, JUNE 24TH AND AN OPEN HOUSE 11:30-1:00 FOR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS, THE INSTRUMENTS TEAM HOPES TO SEE YOU. 

Romans 6:13 “So use your whole body as an Instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.”

 

May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His face to shine upon you and give you peace. Dance 4 Jesus!

 

 

With all our love and gratitude,

Instruments Ballet
