Ballet Relevé is made up of two different ensembles, a Sr. Ensemble and a Jr. Ensemble. Dancers range in age from 9-18 years old. They all have a passion for dance, and for their communities. 


Ballet Relevé is the performing ensemble of LifeLight Youth Theatre's Dance School.  

Relevé is the French ballet word meaning to rise. God calls us to "Rise up and shine, for your light has come" Isaiah 60:1. This ensemble strives to show God's love and enrich the community through ballet performance.

Ballet Relevé is made up of dancers ranging in age from 9-18, who study under LYT's Dance School founder Lauren McCart. The ensemble will present several small performances during the year at local festivals, nursing homes, and other community events.
