Praise  Dance — The RCS Praise Dance group is responsible for leading worship through dance during our annual Christmas events or any other event. Choreography dance sessions are conducted on a
weekly basis at RCS. This is a coed class and all students are encouraged to participate. The RCS dance team was created in as an outlet for dancers to use their gifts to support their school and and share the glory of God through dance. Please note that secular music are not allowed for these classes. Students usually dance to praise music. Experiences in participating in and responding to dance expand students’ movement vocabularies, enhance their listening and viewing skills, and enable them to begin thinking critically about dance as an art form. Through dance education, students also learn about cultural roots of various dance forms and how dance is expressive of cultural heritage, thus continuing to broaden their global perspective. The study of dance at RCS will promote the development of strength and coordination while stimulating self-exploration and creative potential. Students who choose to further their dance education in the upper grades will continue movement exploration with the study of technique, body awareness and choreography.

Band — In middle school, students have the opportunity to participate in instrumental music (band) or vocal music (choir). Students may also elect to participate in both ensembles. While the classes are performance based, emphasis is placed in both band and choir on learning the fundamentals of music. Lower division participate in Sheet Music, Recorder, Piano, Violin, Percussion are parts that make up our student band. Whether rehearsing, performing or just practicing, RCS students do this to the greater glory of God. Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord! (Psalm 150:6).

Choir — Weekly choir are conducted by our professional music teacher.

Broadway-Kinda-Drama Presentation — Every step of the way, teachers and students participate in a Kinda-Broadway Drama presentation. Plays are usually written from scratch and students are encourage to participate every step of the way.

From Lower School performances bringing stories to life, to Middle School explorations of more sophisticated literature and theatrical techniques in our drama classes. Students will gain confidence and a deeper understanding of consequence and variety of perspective.
