Dancing to make a difference!
History
Beyond the Dance Network (formerly Unity In Worship Network) is the vision of our founder, Pastor Marsha D. Carter.
Her vision for Beyond the Dance began in 2000 when Marsha’s mother, Marion Snargrass (a community leader and activist) was saddened by the continued lack of funds for the Sabathani Senior Center, which she has been a part of for many years.
A south Minneapolis native, Marsha decided to move into action to help address her mother’s concerns. Unity in Worship was initially formed to help raise money for Sabathani Senior Center by holding various events.
Eventually Unity in Worship transformed into Beyond the Dance. It was formed by blending Marsha's love of movement and her passion for leadership development.

Through workshops, teachings, and conferences we aim to propel others into their destiny.
