who we are...

​Magnify School of Dance is a Christian dance ministry with locations throughout the North Houston area. With a passion for dance and a heart for worship Magnify was created in 2014. We believe that dance is for EVERYONE. We are passionate about the fact that God created beauty and expresses that beauty through people. We believe that artistic expression can be a powerful tool for worship and ministry. We strive for excellence through encouragement, community and friendship. We want our students to know that they are created uniquely by God and that He has a calling on each person’s life. We desire to share the joy of dance through positive instruction. Our instructors strive to live out their faith as examples of godliness, wholesomeness, worship and artistry. It is our goal to reclaim the arts for Christ, encourage our students and impact the community around us.

She believes that art should be used to glorify God and it was this passion that drove her to begin Magnify School of Dance. Seeing what God was doing through Magnify School of Dance God placed a desire on Lauren’s heart to begin a dance company for adults. Magnify Dance Company began in August of 2015. The dance company performs a wide variety of dance styles including lyrical, ballet, modern, swing, ballroom, hip hop, etc. The company is comprised of men and women who share Lauren’s vision to see the gospel spread through the language of dance. The company also serves as an inspiration for young dancers who desire to use their gifts for ministry.
