Dawn Pruszkowski's bio and photo

Dawn Pruszkowski, born in Pomona, CA, is a professional dancer, teacher, and choreographer with a passion for God. She studied ballet, jazz, and tap in San Diego and New York with aspirations of performing on Broadway. In 1987, God gave her a new calling, "Use your dance to glorify Me." Having never heard of worship dance, Dawn relied on God to teach her how. Since then she has founded the dance ministry, Frontline, at Carson-Newman College, several church dance and creative worship ministries for adults and children, Illuminer Fine Arts Studio (Christian arts studio), Illuminer’s arts ministry team, "The Company", and co-founded Las Vegas Liturgical Dance Network.

Dawn has choreographed and directed various dance and musical productions for churches, high schools, and colleges, produced 9 instructional worship dance videos and has authored the book Worship Steps - A Practical and Foundational Guide For Dance and Creative Arts Ministries. She has ministered in dance and has been a speaker at worship conferences throughout the United States, Africa, Caribbean, and Eastern Europe.

Dawn is a requested speaker, choreographer, and dancer at church events, retreats, and conferences. Married since 1992 to Wiesiek, whom she met while ministering on a mission trip to Poland and Ukraine, they now have 3 children and reside in Las Vegas, Nevada.
