aboutus
Introducing Zion Dance Project's The Residency Program, where aspiring worship leaders and facilitators embark on a sacred journey towards deeper spiritual connection and ministry impact. Guided by Directors Vincent and Abigail Hardy, Zion Dance Project is renowned for its pioneering approach to prophetic dance, empowering worshippers to move with divine purpose both nationally and globally.
During our immersive residency program, Residents are enveloped in an atmosphere that ignites a passion for Kingdom expression and cultivates excellence in prophetic movement and facilitation of congregational dance and worship. This program uniquely blends ministry experience with artistic development, equipping worshippers to seamlessly integrate spiritual warfare, intercession, and prophetic worship into their daily walk with God.
Training
We believe reaching for excellence is biblical even though the world, and sometimes the Church, has deemed it unobtainable. It's not about perfection but rather stewarding the gifts God has given us.
​
You will be spending a few hours a week training in the dance studio with a focus on how to express the function of the 5 Fold Ministry through the body. These classes are geared to help you grow in your understanding of movement.
​
Led by Zion Dance Project, who serve as instructors and mentors, Residents delve into various modalities and somatic practices to unlock the gift of prophetic dance.
Ministry
What does David’s Tabernacle look like in the 21st Century? This is an ongoing exploration in the heart of ZDP as we believe dance was a part of the original tabernacle. We have found that dance is one of the most unexplored expressions in the levitical priesthood calling, and we are on a mission to change that.
​
In times of worship and ministry, you will learn about priestly, prophetic and apostolic worship, the difference between congregational and secret place worship, and how to use dance in evangelism.
​
Beyond the studio, you will receive hands-on training in church ministry settings, learning how to navigate and lead in worship environments with grace and authority.

Discipleship
In weekly Tribe Groups and workshops you will learn what it means to deny oneself, lay everything on the altar and follow God. Perspectives of what walking with God looks like will be challenged in order to break the box of religious complacency and discover that walking with God is more beautiful and more intimate than we could ever imagine!
​
Through our unique partnership with UPPERROOM, Residents will have the opportunity to take what you learn in the studio and explore what dance can look like within the church body on a weekly basis in a church home that believes dance is a vital part of worship.
