About this Event
Ballet 5:8’s Revive Retreat is a powerful weekend of refreshment, relationship and revival for professional dancers! The three-day event is designed to provide rest, revitalization and renewed passion amid the physically and emotionally demanding lifestyle of a professional performer. The retreat provides time and space for dancers from all backgrounds to experience spiritual and emotional refreshment through ballet and modern classes, prayer and worship, and keynote and breakout sessions on a variety of pertinent topics.
During Revive, speakers share from their vast experience in the professional dance world, providing insight on the challenges of caring for oneself mentally, spiritually, nutritionally and emotionally in the highly intense field of professional dance. Carefully crafted classes including ballet, modern, and Christian Yoga taught by retreat speakers give dancers space to reconnect with their passion for dance, care for their bodies and recover the joy that first drew them into the profession. The retreat is based on a Christian worldview, but dancers from all backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Who Should Attend Revive?
Revive is designed specifically for professional dancers of any position or ranking, ages 18 and older. Revive is appropriate for dancers performing in full-time or part-time capacities, in both small and large companies, as well as dancers in trainee and college-level training programs. Revive focuses on dancers with at least some background in classical and contemporary ballet, but dancers from any background who feel the need for refreshment and revitalization between seasons are welcome and encouraged to attend.
"The retreat was very encouraging in all aspects of being a professional dancer. Physically helpful from taking classes with master teachers, intellectually beneficial with relevant seminars and spiritually fulfilling with the worship sessions."
