What to “Where”? Praise Dance Garment Resource List

Movement Ministers,

I’m sure we’ve all been there before….you have an upcoming dance or ministry engagement but have no idea what to wear.  A Google search on "praise dance garments" or "praise dance uniforms" will bring up most commercial vendors.  But sometimes, you’re looking for more…but you’re just not sure what or where to find them.   The list below is not an all inclusive list, but it should jump start your search on a variety of garments that are being crafted for movement ministers.

	Diane Ransom / Garments Fit for King Click for website Types of garments include hanky hem overlays (pictured at left), suspender pants, various palazzo pants, ephods, tunics and dresses. These garments are durable, professionally sewn and reasonably priced. Great to wear at dance ministry workshops / conferences, they also make great rehearsal or preparation garments and of course are well suited for ministry. In addition to the garments on her site, Diane can make custom garments like the one she made for me shown at the right (sorry, this is one of a kind!)
	Diane Grant (aka Ladie Di) / Church Streetwear Click for website Ladie Di’s mission is to infiltrate the Christian dance ministry with anointed, quality, and gracious praise dance garments for the edification of God regardless of size, age, or gender.   The overlay pictured to the left is called Fire.  Below on the left is a picture of fire being worn by Ms. Patricia of the Anointed Feet Christian Dance Academy while ministering at the 2009 Equipping the Saints Dance & Worship Arts Conference.  The picture on the right is a red 2 piece called Divinity that I also wrote at Equipping the Saints.
	Tabitha McGowan / Doxa International Click for Myspace Page Tabitha makes stunning priestly robes, tunics and ephods.  Her garments are usually 1 to few of a kind.  In other words, they are not repeated.  The garment at the right is called His Glory Surrounds Me.  In the picture above, I am wearing a Doxa International original called Thy Kingdom Come over my Divinity Set.  Yes, you can mix & match!
	Rekesha Pittman / Reignaissance TM Click for Website Rekesha’s garment line exhibits royalty and excellence.  The garment pictured at the left is called a Reign Jacket.  She also produces overlays, shawls and accessories that can make an all white commericial garment look unique. Recently, she launched Classy Classwear TM to give dance ministers something modest to wear while rehearsing in the studio or evangelizing in the streets.  Let people everywhere know all about "PRAISE DANCE" with shirts, tote bags, and more accessories. Below is a picture of Reign Dance Company in their Classy Classwear Praise Dance T-Shirts and Palazzos
	Michelle Vela / Waves of Glory Click for Myspace Page   Michelle & Debbie make some of the most beautiful overlays I have ever seen!  If I need something special for a solo piece, they come to mind.  Many of their garments are made from ornate materials or delicate silks.  Some garments include hand painted art.     In addition to the overlays, they offer beautiful silk flags!   The garment pictured on the left is called One Night with the King
	Theresa Gomez / HIS Praise Click for Website   Theresa makes a variety of garments, praise hoops, flags and banners.  Including garments for children like the one pictured at the left.

Additional Garment Resources

These are resources I know of but do not own any of their products (haha…yet!)  Their garments are beautiful and on my Christmas list (smiles!).

 

 

Commercial Vendors

Below are commercial vendors that mass produce garments.  These are great resources for your "staple" items (shoes, leotards, tights, lyrical sandals etc)

Full disclosure: The vendors listed below have been a sponsor of Paneh at some time, however I am not receiving any sort of compensation for including them on this list.

There you have it!  A "what" to "where" resource guide to help you find ministry garments! 

As I mentioned above, this is not intended to be an all inclusive list, so please don’t send me requests to add names to the list.   My intention is for this to be a resource guide, not a list that I have to manually maintain…though I may visit it a few times a year to make sure the links still work!
