In the wild, wonderful, and wacky world of Ohio, lies a band of brave, bouncing, and bewitching children known as the 'Ohio Dance Dynamites'. Ohio, a state known for its cornfields, humming cities, and the sparkling Lake Erie, is as full of personality as a peanut butter sandwich is to jelly. This magical place is where the Dance Dynamites roll up, each kid a bright spark in the Ohio sky. These sprightly sprouts are not your everyday Ohio kids. They're as bendy as buckeye branches and as spry as speedy squirrels. The leader of this supernova crew is a character as cool as a cucumber, Captain Funky Footwork. He's not just a regular boy from Toledo. With his disco-ball helmet, shoes that tie themselves, and a heart as big as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he's a true icon in the Dance Dynamite's universe. Captain Funky Footwork and the Ohio Dance Dynamites are always ready to pop, lock, and drop it! They believe that each river in Ohio beats with a rhythmic flow and every cornfield rustles like a maraca. And so, they dance - in Dayton, in Cleveland, in Columbus, and even in the smallest of Ohio towns. Their dance is not just a regular two-step or a ballet pirouette, it’s a jumble of giggles, wiggles, and Ohio pride, that makes every adult wish they could swing their hips like a hula hoop too. The Ohio Dance Dynamites and their leader, Captain Funky Footwork, believe that the beat of Ohio is in their hearts, and they’re ready to dance it out, one funky footwork at a time!

For over 50 years, Frontier Camp has been dedicated to making disciples of Jesus by sharing God’s Word amidst the beauty of His creation. Since our founding in 1969, we’ve been licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services and are proudly accredited by the American Camping Association. We’re also a member of the Christian Camping and Conference Association. Our mission is to use Christian camping and outdoor recreation as a means to support local churches in fulfilling the Great Commission—evangelizing people of all ages and discipling believers toward deeper maturity in Christ. Frontier Camp offers a dual ministry: during the summer, we host a 10-week youth camp, and throughout the rest of the year, we serve as a retreat facility for churches and like-minded religious organizations. Whether through summer camps or retreats, our goal remains the same: to expose people to Christ and encourage their spiritual growth through His Word and by reflecting His character in everything we do. While we provide top-notch recreation and exciting programming, the heart of our camp is the spiritual impact, rooted in the truth of God’s inerrant Word.

Center Stage is a locally owned and operated dance studio located in the heart of Springboro, OH. Tammy Longworth the studio director had a dream at the age of 16 to open a dance studio, and with the support of her mom and co-owner Beckie Harding, Tammy was able to open the doors to Center Stage in 1983. Center Stage was first opening in Waynesville, OH and later moved to Springboro. We are so excited to be moving into our new facility at the Springboro Performing Arts Center (PAC). With this new facility we will be able to provide our community with dance education, dance competition teams, and several performances throughout the year. We pride ourselves by helping children of all ages and stages of life create, achieve, and explore through the art of dance.
Gem City Ballet was formed on January 8, 1992. There were eight women and one man present at that first rehearsal. Gem City Ballet has produced 26 professional dancers since that time and is busy producing more. Dancers are admitted by audition only, and auditions are open to all serious dance students in the Miami Valley area. GCB was formed for three main purposes: (1) to educate young dancers in the joys and rigors of ballet performance, (2) to make quality ballet performances available to a wider audience and (3) to provide both new and experienced choreographers an opportunity to create new works. Gem City Ballet is a non-profit and completely volunteer company and requires outside financial help to continue its excellent work. You can help by donating funds that will be used for commissioning new and existing choreography and costumes.
