BIOS
South Carolina Christian Dance Theater was founded with a dream to connect dance with faith. The company trains dancers ages 2-19, in various forms of dance including ballet, tap and contemporary. The dancers are given opportunities to participate in at least 2 major productions per year, plus opportunities for other performances and events both locally and abroad.
Eric Elder is an author, speaker, and contemporary pianist with a passion for sharing Christ with others. He has written over 20 books, including St. Nicholas: The Believer, each designed to give people a boost in their faith. Eric is also a composer, having written and produced several songs featured in One Life: A Christmas Story Ballet. Eric’s wife and co-author, Lana, was the inspiration behind their special book on St. Nicholas, which was completed shortly before her passing in 2012 after a nine-month battle with cancer.
