Director Chamaine Ackerman

Chamaine Ackerman's Journey

Chamaine began singing, dancing, and acting as a little girl. Her love for it all has never left...only now that love has become a passion because it is more than just an expression of art..it's about dancing with a purpose. In her upcoming testimony you will discover more about how God captured her heart and catapulted her into that purpose. "I thank God for the places He has taken me into and out of. To take the things of this world and use them for His Glory."
