Our Core Values
Faith Integrity Excellence
Faith
At GAFA we integrate Faith into all that we do; in and out of the classroom. We believe that God has given every individual a unique set of gifts and talents that can be used to give Him honor and praise. We aim to teach and demonstrate God’s love to our student base and to all that we encounter whether in the studio or our in the community.
Integrity
We believe that doing the right thing even when no one sees, even if you never receive any recognition, and even when it is hard, is what we are called to do as followers of Christ. As a staff, we strive to demonstrate integrity to our students in and out of the classroom, and desire to see each student practicing integrity while at GAFA and demonstrating uprightness to the level below them.
Excellence
While being involved at GAFA, whether a pre-ballet student starting for the first time, or a postgraduate dancer honing their skills at an elite level, we desire excellence. We believe that everything we do should bring honor and praise to our Heavenly Father, and to do that best, one must do everything with a pursuit of excellence. Whether in the pursuit of technical goals or in creative endeavors we at GAFA will strive for the highest level of excellence.
