We are confident she will be an incredible addition to the program!

Ms. Pristine started dancing when she was two years old and never stopped. Throughout her 16 years of training in classical ballet with a little bit of jazz, tap, contemporary, and musical theatre, one of her greatest joys is to see Christ exalted and worshipped through every kind of dance. But an even greater joy for her is teaching younger girls to do the same, glorifying the One who gave them their bodies and skills of dance, returning to their Creator his due praise. Having taught ballet and choreographed for two years at Soli Deo Gloria School of Dance and the Arts, she is thrilled to teach at Bella Ballet while studying in the biblical counseling MDiv seminary track program at Boyce, and is so grateful for this opportunity.

Chesed is excited to be a part of Bella Ballet in this upcoming semester. She is currently a Sophomore at Boyce College, studying Elementary Education. She danced in a local ballet company in Carmel, Indiana for three years in high school and otherwise danced in a variety of ballet classes since she was 5 years-old. She has taught several homeschool ballet camps over the past two years. This is her first semester working with Bella Ballet, and she is excited to see how God will use her love for the Lord and for dance.
