Cathedral of Pompei

Light of the World Ballet performed at the Cathedral of Pompei School last Thursday. The school has a great stage with wings and lights, which was exciting; it’s not too often that we get to have such a nice space. The school reaches out to a lot of kids from other countries—I’m assuming some of them were refugee children. It was fun to interact with them afterward; many of them were originally from African countries like Sudan, Egypt, and Congo. They were a very attentive audience, even though many of them were seven or younger. We were able to show them some ballet steps after the performance, which is always fun. The kids love when we teach them to run and jump over the bucket in the center of the stage! We had some great dancers at this performance—I don’t think anyone fell!
It was cute to see how many of them were interested in the brochures for the summer dance camps at LWB. They seemed really excited to learn more ballet! I hope some of them can actually come and learn about Jesus’ love for them. I am praying that we made an impact on them by using something they enjoy doing, like dance, to communicate the world’s most important and exciting message. To God be the glory!
