Youth Pastor Vanessa “Preacher Girl” Mitchell, founder of Preacher Girl Ministry and the owner of I Dance Praise Academy, was on Monday’s segment of WIZS’ Town Talk to discuss her involvement with the community and her youth praise dance team.
Started in 2016, the I Dance Praise Academy has grown from its initial enrollment of three girls to 80 young ladies ages 4-18 from Vance County and surrounding areas.
Participants are taught the biblical aspect of praise dancing, according to Mitchell, and perform at churches and events earning various color belts based on their skill level.
Dancers will attend the 3rd Annual Benefit Concert and Level Up Program on Saturday, November 16, 2019, at 5 p.m. at Dabney Elementary School, located at 150 Lanning Rd. in Henderson.
Tickets are available for $7 in advance or $10 at the door.
The concert preshow will feature Mr. Pipkins the Puppeteer, along with Devin Paylor & The Instruments of Praise Choir for the half-time entertainment.
Vendors include Elder Shirley Gray (Gray Baby Jewels) with Paparazzi and food vendor Fred Robertson.
