2003
McDonald's Gospel Fest Grand Prize
Winners in Praise Dance-
In the spring of 2003 they participated
in the 20th Annual McDonald's Gospel Fest at
Symphony Hall, Newark, New
Jersey and Madison Square Garden,
New York. Through diligent practice and their love of God,
they were blessed with the grand prize award out of thousands of groups.
They were highlighted on ABC Television
with many gospel celebrities for this accomplishment. UCC Praise Dance Ministry's founder Wanda A. Dickerson grace the stage performing praise dance at the historical Miss Black USA Pageant in Gambia, West Africa on June 1, 2007. This was a magnificent event and the first time that the Miss Black USA Pageant was held outside of the United States of America in West Africa where the famous Alex Hailey filmed the high acclaimed movie "ROOTS." UCC Praise Dance Ministry thanks Ms. Karen Arrington (Founder & Executive Director) and Ms. Dawn Moss (Executive Producer) of the Miss Black USA Pageant for giving us this wonderful opportunity. UCC Praise Dance Ministry performs constantly throughout America at many prestigious events. Many people have said to us and we have received many letters and emails about how our style of praise dance has helped them. We are honored and blessed to be considered by many as innovators, trendsetters, and positive role models through the praise dance ministry. Through the grace of God, we thank McDonald's Gospelfest and its Producer and Director Mr. Curtis Farrow for their hard work and dedication to have such a wonderful venue for young people and many to enjoy the beauty of the performing arts and Gospel music. We also pray that we can encourage young people and other churches to use praise dance as a vehicle to attract or give young people positive activities praising the Lord. UCC Praise Dance Ministry also
performs inspirational dance to songs by professionals such as Aretha
Franklin, Stevie Wonder, instrumental music and Unity Community Center's live
orchestra. This was designed specifically for educational,
municipalities, and high profile corporate companies hosting programs or events
in respect of the law concerning
separation of church and state policies.
