About Us
Worship is a lifestyle. We strive to teach and inspire our students to live for the Lord every day, joyfully walking in the kind of obedience that can only flow out of a personal relationship with Jesus. We endeavor to give our students excellent technical training, because we are dancing for the most high King and He deserves our personal best!
Celebration Ministry of Arts was founded in 1993 with the desire of cultivating the heart of a worshiper in each student, as well as equipping them to use dance as a tool for outreach and ministering to the body of Christ. Our school of dance opened in Littleton in the fall of 1996 and we’ve since expanded to multiple locations around Colorado. We are a non-profit organization that strives to keep our classes affordable. In order to accomplish this goal, we hold our classes in church facilities. These amazing churches believe in our ministry and support us by allowing us to use their space at a low rate. For 25 years, we held two 12 week sessions (Spring and Fall) that each concluded in a theme based performance. In 2020, we switched to a school year format in order to give our students more consistent training and to better prepare them for a once a year performance in the Spring. We also offer a week-long dance camp, that our students say is the highlight of their summer!!
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” Romans 12:1
Our leaders are passionate about the truth that worship is: living our everyday lives in a God honoring way, simply because He is worthy. Jesus gave His life for us, our only reasonable response is to live our lives for Him!! His Spirit empowers and equips us to live this lifestyle of worship.
We take seriously the Lord’s command to make disciples. We desire that all would come to know our amazing Savior Jesus Christ. We want to share about the Lord’s forgiveness, hope, and life! This heart is woven throughout all three aspects of our ministry: classes, performances, and missions.
Our Directors
Tiffany Case has been in leadership with Celebration Ministry of Arts since 1998. She’s been teaching worship dance to children and adults since 1995, and taught classical ballet –including exam work- for 10 years at Belliston Academy of Ballet. She personally trained in the Royal Academy of Dance and Cecchetti styles and was trained to teach in both methods.
She has a passion for mentoring students of all ages, drawing their hearts to Jesus and showing them the freedom and life that is found in Him. In addition to running CMA, teaching classes, and choreographing numerous dances (including finale pieces involving over 100 students), she has also taught and lead dance camps throughout the United States, Mexico, and Japan.
The Lord has given Tiffany a great passion for the people of Japan and she longs for them to come to know their Savior. In 2005, she began leading CMA teams on mission trips to Japan. She’s traveled there 15+ times, using the universal language of dance and the power of personal testimony, to share the good news!!
“I want my life to be a sweet fragrance to the Lord that spills over onto all who come near. My desire is to serve my Lord and Savior with all that is within me, to seek His will for my life and follow where He leads. God has placed a desire in my heart to teach not only dance as a form of worship, but more importantly, worship as a lifestyle.”

Katrina White is a skilled teacher and gifted choreographer. She loves investing in young women and cares deeply for her students.
She passionately pours into them, wanting them to be filled with the abundant life of Jesus and walk with Him in spirit and in truth. She’s been teaching with us since 2003! She’s taught worship dance and ballet in multiple cities, ran our Aurora school for many years, and has planned and directed multiple dance camps both here and in Japan.
Katrina started as a student, and took our very first session, in 1996!! She was in our advanced class for over 15 years, and has had numerous opportunities to use dance as a ministry tool at churches and events throughout Colorado. In addition to training with us, she also trained and examined in the Royal Academy of Dance method and studied classical ballet at Belliston Academy of Ballet and other studios in Littleton, Colorado.
The Lord has placed Japanese people heavily on Katrina’s heart. He has used struggles that she’s walked through to stir up a deep empathy and compassion for them; she aches for them to hear the good news of salvation and find hope through personal relationship with Jesus.
