Momentum Company,
MCrew & MCrew JV!!!
What is Momentum Company?
Momentum is an auditioned group of Maranatha’s most committed dancers who are wanting to increase their training and have more performance opportunities while building lasting friendships, serving our community, and experiencing growth in their relationship with Christ. Company members work on choreography pieces throughout the year, and are expected to serve as leaders and set a positive example in the studio. Technique classes and company rehearsals emphasize the importance of excellence in dance training as well as in personal character. Any dancers in our leveled program are invited to audition!
What is MCrew and MCrew JV?
MCrew is the Hip Hop extension of Momentum Company. MCrew and JV auditions are open to 5th-12th grade dancers in our leveled hip hop program.
Join us for 2026-2027 Season!
Our Focus
Community- Momentum and MCREW provide opportunities for dancers to be engaged with their peers here at the studio and develop meaningful friendships. This includes our very special Big/Little Sister (or brother) program where company dancers are paired with an older or younger company member for positive role models and mentorship.
Ministry- Momentum and MCREW dancers have the privilege of performing throughout the community several times over the course of the season, as well as some volunteer service opportunities. They also have the fun of a mid-year filming event as another way to impact our community through sharing our dances over social media.
Discipleship- Intentional discipleship is an important piece of our company and MCREW rehearsal times, getting into God’s word and giving dancers space to share prayer needs, as well as pray with and for one another. Dancers are also invited to join us in Orlando for the Dance Revolution conference, which is an incredible weekend for the dancer's soul, mind, and body (required for Int/Adv and Adv company dancers, but encouraged for all!).

If you have a pair of old jazz shoes, we recommend wearing them.
-We are only performing the show one time (about 25 minutes in length). The performance will be on the "island" in the center of the park, and parents are free to watch from any adjacent area or even in the lazy river! : )
- If you choose, you may pack a lunch for a family picnic at the tables outside the gates. No outside food or drinks are permitted inside the park. Wristbands will be given to those who need re-entry. There is also food available for purchase inside the park.
-Don't forget a water bottle (must be factory sealed or EMPTY reusable which can be filled at the cafe), swimsuit, flip flops, towel, and sunscreen. Cooling towels and neck fans aren't a bad idea! : ) After the performance, dancers may change in the bathrooms and enjoy the park!
This performance is meant to be a fun celebration of a great year!! No stress, just enjoy dancing and then the "splashing" party after! If you are not able to attend please fill out this form by 5/8 so we can get an accurate headcount and adjust dances as needed. Opt-out Form
