Worship Dance Collective

We’re so excited to be partnering with several area churches to launch the NRV Worship Dance Collective. The first gathering will be at Dwelling Place Christian Fellowship in Christiansburg.

Come join us for a time to worship together through dance. You don’t need dance experience, just a heart to worship through movement!
