Nikki Chapa
Tanya Perez
Nikki became the appointed dance director of Heartfelt Dance Ministries in 2012. The ministry is out House of Freedom International Ministries located in San Antonio, TX. Prior to becoming a dance director, Nikki served in her hometown’s dance ministry for two years. It was then that Nikki found her passion for worship and used the art of dance to bring forth praise. Since that time, Nikki has expanded her gift with worshippers all across North and South America.
Nikki has hosted dance workshops, conferences, and has co lead dance trainings with various ministries and organizations. She has worked with dancers of all age groups and abilities. Her styles of focus include lyrical praise, modern/contemporary dance, and hip hop. Nikki’s teachings will often utilize flags, billows, veils, and streamers to create visualization and drive breakthrough into the atmosphere. It is now that Nikki has felt the pressing to develop trainings that will equip dancers to charge forth and enter into their God given assignments.
Tanya has been ministering through dance since the year 2000. She has taught at a variety of workshops and conferences and has helped with training church members in the art of worship dance. She has choreographed dances for dance groups, plays, church services, and community events throughout the years. She also serves as a seasonal dance teacher and choreographer for a non-profit organization that provides sports, recreational, and educational programs to children with special needs and is a certified Rhythm Works Integrative Dance Instructor.
She started a ministry in 2007 called Empowered to Praise, providing training to empower those who have a heart to worship the Lord through dance. She has completed the Worship Dance Teacher’s Training course, Dance Ministry Leadership Course, Worship Dance Continuing Education course, and Dance Ministry Master course through Dancing For Him Ministries. She also holds a certificate of license and ordination through Dancing For Him Ministries.
She is now excited to be on this new journey partnering with Nikki Chapa to provide training for dance ministers who desire to excel and expand their gift of dance to bring Glory to the King.
