Tinsley Drake

Tinsley started her dance training at Ballet Lubbock when she was 3 years old. In the fall of 2015, she moved to Christ in the Arts after attending a summer workshop. As well as attending the annual CITA summer workshops, she has attended Doxa’s summer intensive in 2022 and the summer dance intensive at Ballet Magnificat! in 2023.

She has enjoyed every second of dancing and using her movement to glorify the Lord. Under the instruction of each of her teachers, she’s been instilled with sharing the gospel through her dancing. It’s always been her dream to teach, and she is so thankful for opportunity to pour into her students as her teachers have poured into her. She hopes her students feel loved and that they see themselves as God sees them.

“I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.” -Psalms 34:1-3

Tinsley is the teacher for Relevé and the TA for Intermediate Contemporary.
