About Us

COC's goal is to create community through the foundations of ministry dance to people of all ages!

Our Purpose is to give praise & worship to the Lord by delivering emotions and messages through spiritual movement.Our Mission is to teach and learn from others how to connect to God with their mind, body, and soul through movement.Our Vision is to bring awareness of how dance is used to develop and communicate a relationship between you and God.

Our History

The history of COC, or Creators of Change, Dance Ministry began in Cleveland, Ohio in 2025. It was then that the idea came up to create a ministry that would focus on studying the history and foundations of ministry dance, where the various styles originate, and what makes each style unique. At first, classes were held in a small room, and the first group included only 2 people. Since starting, COC have received many requests to teach and minister all over Northeast Ohio.

Who founded COC Dance Ministry?

Our owner is Minister Tyrone "Ty" Dorsey Jr. He's been praise dancing in the church since the age of 15. After the pandemic, Ty expanded his studies to street dance styles (including hip hop, popping, and krump) and ministry dances (mime ministry and flagging). Combining the two cultures, his vision is to bring a respect to the history and emphasis of community from street dance to the church.

I want to learn how to dance, but I have no experience. Will you teach me?
Of course, we will! COC Dance Ministry Classes are designed for both experienced and beginner dancers.
What is the structure of the classes?
Before classes are taught, we will announce the topic that we will be studying and the dance styles they are associated with. Some classes are general and can apply to all dance styles.
The class structure will begin with a small warm-up to stretch.Next, we will have a small discussion explaining the foundations and history of the topic or style and how it relates to Christianity and the scripture.Then, we will repeat the foundational movements or practice concepts to get a better understanding of how we can move.Lastly, we will have a cypher to allow people to minister in dance and build community with each other.
Do you have individual lessons?
Private one-on-one classes can be requested. Contact us for more information.
