E12: Matthew Best & Seeking Shalom Through Dance

How does ballet, tap, and Memphis Jookin provide opportunities to change the world?

Matthew Best (University of Tennessee in Knoxville) would say that the possibilities are endless. Shortly after graduating college, Matthew caught a vision for seeing kids' lives changed by changing their environment. And as the Executive Director (and former student) of the New Ballet Ensemble and School, he recognizes dance as an opportunity to do exactly that. Regardless of their ability to pay, the school provides them them with access to the arts, mentorship, tutoring, and a skillset that will help them excel in college.

Matthew is also consulting with BCM about the upcoming alumni reunion in Atlanta! Listen to the end for more info about the conference and how to register.
