Fellowship N’ Movement Project
For the fourth year, North Carolina Dance Theatre led a liturgical dance collaboration with area churches. The collaboration, previously known as Dance Friendships, has been renamed Fellowship N’ Movement and is made possible through a Front Porch Grant. “This collaboration has had great impact both on the dance ministries and on NC Dance Theatre,” said April Berry, Dance Theatre director of education and outreach. “This project has afforded wonderful opportunities for dialogue, dance, and fellowship, and lives have been transformed.”
In addition to first year partner Friendship Missionary Baptist Church and second year partner New Birth Charlotte in Huntersville, liturgical dance ensembles from Resurrection and Christ Lutheran Churches, New St. John Missionary Baptist Church and members from Hickory Grove Baptist Church’s Latino Campus participated this year.

The Front Porch Grants program is an effort to build informal social capital within our community. Front Porch Grants are awarded to organizations and partnerships for specific programs and projects that foster bridge-building between individuals, communities, neighborhoods and organizations. The goal is to increase trust and expand social connections and informal networks in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
