Illuminate Dance Company is an entry-level performance ministry for our younger dancers (ages 9-14) who are looking for a place to grow their passion for dance and ministry. Company dancers will have the opportunity to learn several different choreographed dances throughout the company year in styles such as ballet and jazz as well as receive group discipleship/mentoring and dance ministry training. They will participate in approximately 2-4 performance opportunities per season. These performances can include Fueled & Aflame Dance Ministry concerts, performances at local churches, worship & outreach concerts, schools, hospitals, retirement communities, workshops, and other local venues. 

Illuminate Dance Company is a part of Fueled & Aflame Dance Ministries. As an organization we value Christian community and spiritual growth. Illuminate provides a unique and special dance community where dancers can build deep, long-lasting friendships with other dancers that share their beliefs. Dancers will learn to support, encourage, and pray for one another regularly as they grow together in their faith and artistic abilities. This counter-cultural dance environment is much needed in our world and has filled the void many families with young dancers have been searching for!

Illuminate Dance Company is run under the direction of Chelle Ann-Cartee Vollmer. Chelle is an instructor for Fueled & Aflame Dance Studio as well as a company artist with Fueled & Aflame Dance Company. Illuminate company members will have the opportunity to learn choreography in a variety of dance styles throughout the year from Chelle and other guest choreographers.
