Cavod Performing Arts states its mission as offering a Godly environment that inspires excellence in the arts, builds community, and impacts lives. The founder and executive director is Connie Dienner, who also wrote the book “From Barn to Stage: A Journey of Faith & Creativity.” Over 150 classes run each week between the New Holland and Manheim locations, and programs are described as being for all ages and abilities. Students are prepared for live performances, are supplied an understanding of music theory, and can participate in Cavod Theatre mainstage shows, with performances held at places such as schools, churches, parks, parades, and fundraising events.
The organization describes itself as a safe haven for learning, free from sensual and provocative influences, with choreography and costumes that are modest in nature. All music is carefully screened for offensive language, ideas, and undertones, and themes are described as carrying a positive life-affirming message. Cavod Performing Arts is a non-profit organization that seeks partnerships with individuals, organizations, foundations, and corporations, and lists opportunities for giving such as annual pledges, individual sponsorships, scholarships, one-time giving, special project grants, playbill sponsors, and funding for the dance company. It is dedicated to sending teams internationally each year to carry out its vision and mission and notes that in the past 20 years, teams have traveled to four continents to share the love of Christ.
Cavod Performing Arts mentions that students learn patience, perseverance, self-discipline, and teamwork as they strive for excellence. The program highlights features such as a cozy cafe with smoothies and coffee, a free playroom for younger siblings, observation windows to watch classes, and an in-studio dancewear boutique, and describes the atmosphere as a year-round summer camp atmosphere. It notes recognition from the Gunterberg Charitable Foundation, an LNP Readers’ Choice Favorite 2018 mention, and Authorize.Net Verified Merchant status. Testimonials from families describe long-term involvement, appreciation for the Christian environment, comments on teachers being “top notch,” and experiences from both youth and adult students, including a parent who started worship dance at age 51 and a student who began various dance classes at 16.
