She has performed in the presence of Bishop T.D. and first Lady Serita Jakes, Former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton, Maya Angelou, Former Miss Arkansas winners as well as other prominent and distinguished individuals.

While attending the University of Oklahoma, Destiney began receiving training in modern dance using the “Graham Technique” and the “Horton Technique”, under the direction of Denise Vale and Derek Minter. She also worked with Earl Mosley and “KenLee” during her time at OU. While studying modern dance, she also had the opportunity to perform at local events as a member of the OU modern dance company. After returning home to Little Rock, Destiney received a minor in the area of dance performance. At the university she received training from Ms. Mievska and “Ms. Dot”. The formative training from each of these individuals has had an immeasurable affect on her career as a dancer and for that she is truly grateful.

Currently Destiney is a member of the Potter’s House dance ministry, Before His Throne. Within this ministry, she is able to use her gift of dance to glorify and praise the Lord Jesus Christ through solos and group ministry. She ministers every 1st and 3rd Sunday with the team and every 3-4 months for special presentations. During the summer of 2007, the team hosted its first annual dance conference, for which she was invited to be the technical instructor. There were more than 300 people in attendance. Upon completion of the conference, she was invited by Mickye Castillo, the dance director of Before His Throne, to hold technique workshops every 1st and 3rd Tuesdays for the dance team. Being able to serve the house of the Lord in this capacity has been one of the greatest honors she has ever received.

Destiney is also a member of Freedom in the Dance Ministries, F.I.T.D., which is an evangelistic dance ministry directed by Mickye Castillo. Freedom in the Dance has performed at numerous churches around the DFW metroplex, other states in the U.S and abroad.
