Duffy Liturgical Dance Ensemble Is an Intergenerational Company of Singers and Dancers
Our mission is to research, preserve and perform the American Negro Spiritual and to educate the community about this art form. Our classes and performances inform audiences about the influence of the Spiritual and its refractions (blues, gospel, jazz) have had on social change, social justice and the cultural development of the United States of America.
Children and youth who attend classes at DuffyLit Studio develop respect, self-esteem and garner pride in their American Cultural Heritage. DuffyLit is dedicated to improving the quality of life through performance of the Spiritual and application to everyday life of its universal message of faith, hope, optimism, and perseverance.
Duffy Liturgical Dance Studio is committed to the artistic development of all dancers interested in the American Negro Spiritual. Allow us to help you take the next step in your liturgical dancing. We think that dance is a great way to develop artistic ability, poise, grace, rhythm, and self-worth. Call us today!

Taking classes at our dance studio helps develop good posture, poise, proper body alignment, and grace with adequate instruction. Dancing improves flexibility, and coordination, and fosters an appreciation for the Spiritual. The shy, self-conscious youngster will benefit from stage experience, while the high-energy child will learn to appreciate class structure. All will experience the performance of the Spiritual and the application it can provide to everyday life.
