“Jubilation Dance Ministry is a Christ-centered group of Whitworth University dancers that seeks to enjoy and honor God, develop relationships, and express authentic emotion through dance,” said junior Logan Shenkel, public relations and costume coordinator.
Jubilation welcomes dancers of every skill level and at any point in the semester. Different Jubilation classes include Irish dance, contemporary, musical theatre, jazz, hip-hip and both advanced and beginning ballet. The class schedule can be found on the Whitworth Clubs website.
According to Shenkel, the Jubilation leadership team shares a dance in Chapel monthly, as well as performing in local Spokane churches during the Advent season. Jubilation is performing their Fall Showcase on Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. on Stage II of Cowles Auditorium.
Overall, Jubilation’s goal is to “bring people closer to God while simultaneously praising and worshipping our Savior with a gift He has given us,” Shenkel said. Contact Shenkel at lshenkel16@my.whitworth.edu for more information.
