Freedom To Dance Ministry

2014-15 DVD will look similar to last year’s.

Just in!!  Sonrise Productions has finished the 2014-15 season DVD and it is now available!  If ordered before we dance at Catholic Eldercare in Minneapolis, you will be able to pick it up there.

A minimum donation of five dollars is requested to cover the cost of the materials. The DVDs are high quality and come in a colorful plastic protector. Each dance is listed separately on the menu. These are wonderful tools to help you remember dances, learn ones you’ve missed, be blessed by watching the team in action, or as a gift for someone.

To order: email sonrisepro@gmail.com or go to their webpage:  sonriseproductions.com
