Renelle Jones

"Dance is an emotionally, physically and spiritually demanding discipline. But at Wesley Institute, I am constantly being encouraged by fellow students and lecturers. I have been challenged in all aspects of dance, from choreography to the understanding of the human mind and body. Wesley Institute is developing me into an artist who no longer fears inadequacy, only complacency. It's the most rewarding thing I've ever done to further my career in dance, and most importantly, I’m grateful for the opportunity to worship God through my art."
