Mission of DaCo
The Mission of Woodland Fine Arts Academy’s Dance Company is to provide a safe, Godly environment of concentrated training and development for young artists while glorifying God in the process; with excellence and hard work.
Purpose of DaCoWFA Dance Company (aka DaCo) was founded in 2015 to create a progressive, advanced track for young dancers to train in multiple styles. Our goal is to create an opportunity for dancers to flourish in their giftings and passion, grow in their technique, form a community, learn more about God and give back to their community through ministry opportunities. DaCo is an audition based group that is split by skill level (with age and maturity being factored in) which is committed on a weekly basis to take specific dance technique classes, as well as DaCo choreography. Dancers attend Dance Revolution, a Christian based dance convention, where they perform alongside local studios and take multiple styles of dance from DR’s professional dance staff. In addition to performing in WFA’s Spring Showcase, DaCo also performs locally, has opportunities to dance as a form of ministry in Woodland’s worship services, and competes with solos, duets and trios at Earthshakers Dance Competition. DaCo will also be participating in Service and Outreach Projects, to serve those around them, broaden their perspectives and be the hands and feet of Jesus. |

Summer with DaCo!
DaCo Dancers kick off the season at Motion Dance Intensive, where members take class in all WFA's style offerings and perform in a showcase with dancers at all levels. This is a great way to display Godly leadership among other recreational dancers, as well as getting back into dance shape after a summer break!
Company members then end the summer with DaCo's Summer Intensive, where they build company unity, train in Ballet, Modern and Jazz technique, take conditioning and flexibility classes, and begin their company choreography. The DaCo Intensive is a time to build a foundation for our new season, to integrate the new dancers with the returning and to get a head start on getting their bodies back in shape as well as building new choreography. The dancers are also paired as a big/lil sister with another company member outside of their group and age range.
