Lower School
“Let The Little Children come to me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom Of Heaven belongs to them and those who are like them”
Matthew 19:14


What Powerful and Power-Filled words….
Here at The Link, no child is left behind. Each and every child is a priority and our desire is to develop them to their full potential from the beginnings of their dance experience.

Our Goal: To see the spirit of joy and freedom released through the children as we teach them the importance of praise and worship through dance. Creating an atmosphere where the Spirit of God has complete control and the children can “feel” his presence is our desire at The Link.
Lower School Update: “A Letter From The Director”
The Lower School at The Link has started out with a bang! Everyone is busy as little bees, being creative and having lots of fun! I love teaching these children! Each one is so unique and such a blessing. It truly is an honor and privilege to be given this opportunity from our Lord. Equally a blessing, is the inception of our Worship Classes in the Lower School and the beginning of our Upper School.
