Company Info
Since our founding in 2008, Faith Moves has discovered that dance is a vehicle of
healing, deliverance, joy and restoration in the lives of all who experience it with us.
For us, every move celebrates Christ, every event invites you to face your truths, and
every experience encourages you to go forward in faith. Each encounter will leave you
in awe of how God speaks through dance – and in confidence that every “body” is able.
Join us in dancing through life’s journeys! (More…)
Founder/Artistic Director – Angelique D. Murray
A native of Orlando, Florida – Angelique began studying dance
over 25 years ago with the foundational basis of ballet, tap,
jazz, and acrobatics. She later trained in disciplines including
lyrical, modern, pointe, hip hop, lindyhop, and African dance.
Her training and education offered opportunities for growth via
local/regional/national workshops, conventions, competitions,
and shows – all undergirded by guidance of various professional choreographers and
instructors in the southeast region as well as New York. Love for the art, its contribution
to the building of character & esteem, and the ability use the skill as an instrument of
storytelling and exhortation, led to the desire of offering the gift to the masses. (More…)

More Company Info (from Cover Page)
We’re also very committed to
offering sound, technical dance
experiences for the growth and
development of our participants.
Each workshop and choreography
session is taught by an instructor with years of dance
knowledge and experience, which is key to building a strong team that goes
forth in excellence.
We are an ever-evolving, multi-faceted company that is designed to go
wherever led, to bring a challenging message of hope after life takes you on
an unexpected ride of ups, downs, pit stops, and breakdowns. Our
expectation is that you will have a God-experience. When you attend a
show, live in the moment and let your heart go! When you take a workshop
– move, leap and turn, and allow your personal testimony to unfold. If we’re
helping you with choreography, own it! Our moves plus your vision equals a
life changing story. Our purpose is to affect the attitude, change the
choices made, and to create a shift in the atmosphere of any space that
breeds anything but freedom through Jesus Christ.
Faith Moves is for the saved, unsaved, undecided and in between. We aim
to reach the lost for the kingdom of God; we’re also called, however, to
rebuild the believer and those in ministry, that are running on empty. Find
your place and Follow Faith!
More About the Founder (From Cover Page) Angelique began teaching and choreographing at age 15, and continued
throughout her collegiate tenure at Florida A&M University. Upon
completion of her Master’s degree in Business Marketing, she settled in
Atlanta, and continued to teach at various studios and participated in local
and regional performances, and special events. In a short amount of time, it
became apparent that the Lord had bigger plans for her dance training and
educational background.
In 2005, Angelique’s spiritual journey took flight, and as she grew to know
the Lord more, her dance focus became one of ministry to a generation that
“needs to know that Jesus loves them”. Angelique has choreographed
works that have been seen by audiences of thousands, and those as
personal as one’s homegoing service. She says it is a privilege and a
blessing to be able to do what she loves, first for the Lord, and secondly in
anticipation of how she can be a blessing to others.
More about Services Offered (from Cover Page) Special Events/Shows – Faith Moves will perform individual pieces or a full company production
based on the needs of your company/organization.
Dance Workshops – Our workshops will enhance your existing skills in dance to support your
goals of becoming more technically trained. Additional dance disciplines include: creative
movement (ages 3-6), ballet, pageantry/flags, inspirational hip hop, mime, stretch/flexibility,
tap, and beginner/intermediate stunts and tumbling.
Choreography/Consultation – Many times dance groups can become stagnant because all of the
pieces start to look alike. For some teams, you may not even know where to begin! Allow Faith
Moves to come and create a dance for your team based on your vision. We will stretch your
expectation and imagination…probably your body too!
Seminars/Panel Discussions – Many companies and organizations can benefit from a new way
of teaching and a new way of learning. Dance is growing in its popularity in being used for
therapy as well as a means of expressing feelings, when words aren’t adequate. Our prepared
topics are hosted in a two-hour session that address key topics including women’s lives,
understanding youth challenges, health awareness, conversations on mental and emotional
stability, and positive influence. Book us today to speak to your group!
