About Us
The Purpose Company exists to glorify God through the art of dance by providing a Christ-centered environment where students can grow in faith, cultivate their God-given purpose, and express worship through movement with excellence and integrity.
The Purpose Company strives on creating a spirit-filled environment and keeping Jesus at the center.
At The Purpose Company, you can expect a variety of affordable classes that each serve to help dancers grow in training, excellence, character and faith.
We believe in Philippians 4:8,"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." You will see this lived out through creative expression such as costume and song choices, as well as through teaching methods.

About The Director
Meet Allyson Kitchner, founder of The Purpose Company.
Ally grew up immersed in the competitive dance world and has spent many years teaching both recreational and competitive dance. However, after surrendering her life to Jesus, everything changed—God revealed to her the true purpose of dance.
In 2022, the Lord placed the name “The Purpose Company” on Ally’s heart. By 2024, God spoke a powerful promise: that He would “fulfill her whole purpose,” launching her God-given dream into reality.
Ally holds a Bachelor’s degree in Theology and Ministry, which has shaped the foundation of this Christ-centered dance company. For her, dance is more than just movement—it’s a form of worship, a tool for ministry, and a way to raise up Kingdom-minded dancers who know they are dancing on purpose, for a purpose, for such a time as this.
God has used dance not only through Ally’s teaching, but also by opening doors for her to minister through dance herself. Her heart burns to see this calling stretch far beyond Broome County—reaching the nations with the love and truth of Jesus.
Ally is humbled and deeply grateful that God has chosen her for this assignment, and she is full of expectancy for how He will glorify Himself through The Purpose Company.
