Our History

In April of 1994, Rachel Jackson and Remi Rucker formed the praise dance team which is now known as Pirouettes of Praise. These two young ladies began praising God through dance at Faith Presbyterian Church in Oakland, California. Since that time, Remi has joined Glad Tidings C.O.G.I.C. in Hayward and the two continue to minister together as a team.

Pirouettes of Praise is comprised of two sisters in Christ who love the Lord and desire to serve Him through the ministry of dance. For Rachel and Remi, praise dance is more than just an art form that is aesthetically pleasing, it is true worship. The focus of this ministry is to bring glory to God while allowing their bodies to be used by God to minister to others through liturgical dance.
