Was formed in 1980 by Fran Sherwell teaching five little girls. Shortly after Fran asked her daughter Kari Taylor to take over the school. After much prayer Kari believed that she needed to form a Christian ballet school, training children in all areas of the creative arts. The aim to teach children to use their gifts for worship and ministry to the Lord Jesus Christ so Sonshine Christian Ballet was formed.
