Votum Dance - The Nativity Story - "Nativity"

Excerpt from the Nativity Ballet. The Nativity Ballet begins when a homeless man finds a book about the Nativity Story in the trash that a family has thrown out as an unwanted Christmas gift. He opens the book and the ballet comes to life around him. As he reads, he finds himself transported into the scenes interacting with the characters. In this scene, he is visited by the angel Gabriel who shows him the Messiah born in the manager. He realizes that the Messiah has come for him, even someone as rejected as him. Jesus came to give him a new life too. Votum Dance is an innovative Christian dance company performing in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex and beyond. www.votumdance.com

Mission: ***to present innovative professional classical and contemporary ballet works created in a spirit of prayer and intercession that release the power and presence of God to a variety of audiences both regionally and internationally while maintaining a commitment to artistic excellence and technical skill.

Votum Dance Company is a professional Christian ballet company based in Fort Worth, TX, that demands high standards of excellence, athleticism, technical skill and artistry. Votum is composed of classically trained dancers and features a blend of classical ballet and modern dance techniques including the Horton, Graham, and Limon modern dance styles.

Our choreography presents physical pictures and representations of prayer, utilizing different forms and genres of music presenting innovative and conceptual themes. We collaborate with different musicians, choreographers, and artists performing pieces to original musical compositions while incorporating different artistic elements such as performing to the spoken Word of God, working with live musicians and vocalists, and creating spontaneous improvisational pieces. "Votum" is the Latin word that literally means: "prayer, wish, desire, vow, promise to God."

Votum Dance Company incorporates the vision of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, MO, viewing our dancers as an image of the dancers who stand before the throne of God night and day, dancing for him as a form of prayer, worship, and intercession. When we pray with our voices, God moves at the sound of our voice, and when we dance, he moves in response to our physical prayer.

We believe that when we dance, we are releasing the power and presence of God upon our hearts and our audiences, changing the atmosphere and providing an opportunity for us to experience and connect with God's heart. " Website: www.votumdance.com
