A Shared Calling  

Together, Leonida Fae and Val Kiamco share a unified vision and passion for ministry, having walked side by side in service to God for over four decades. LFCBTA stands as a continuation of their shared journey — a ministry of faith, artistry, and obedience to God’s call. 

Leonida Fae C. Kiamco is the Founder and Executive Artistic Director of Leoni Fae Christian Ballet Theatre Arts (LFCBTA). 

With a lifelong devotion to God, the arts, and ministry, her calling is rooted in the belief that dance is a sacred language — movement as prayer, beauty offered back to the Creator.  

For more than four decades, Leonida has served faithfully in ministry, nurturing faith, creativity, and discipline among generations. Her vision for LFCBTA was born from prayer, perseverance, and divine inspiration — a calling to create a sanctuary where ballet and theatre arts become vessels of worship, formation, and hope.

As Executive Artistic Director, she guides the artistic, spiritual, and educational direction of LFCBTA, forming dancers not only in technique and artistry, but also in character, virtue, and faith. 

Her leadership reflects humility, excellence, and an unwavering trust in God’s perfect timing. 

Her mission remains rooted in the belief that:  “Dance can become prayer, movement can become worship, and art can become a light that leads souls closer to God.”
