The Providence Dance Company is a group of student dancers who strive to bring glory to God through the art form of dance. The Company consists of Senior members (grades 9-12) and Junior Members (grades 6-8) who complete an audition process and then take Dance Company as their elective class. Students with an intense level of technique and performing experience should audition for Providence Dance Company.

The Providence Dance Company venues include Providence pep rallies, sporting events, chapel services, Christmas Night of the Arts, and the Annual Dance Performance as well as local church services, competitions, and The Dance Revolution Convention in Orlando.
