Barrier Breaker Team, Jr. Team, and BTB Dance Co.
Price Range: $250-­$500

The International Barrier Breaker team demonstrates inclusion through gymnastics, dance, martial arts, stunts, testimonies, music, workshops, seminars, and more. The common thread all Barrier Breakers share is that they do not see differences in people. When they see someone in a wheelchair or with Down syndrome, they do not feel sorry for them because they know God has given everyone gifts and abilities. The Barrier Breakers have softened hearts, opened eyes for ability awareness, and generated hope for people and families, both nationally and internationally. The U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Special Education recognized the team as the “National Role Model for Inclusion.” The Barrier Breakers have performed at numerous venues including the Billy Graham Crusade, Los Angeles Lakers basketball game, San Francisco 49ers football game, Oakland Raiders football game, Sacramento Kings basketball game, and on the steps of our nation’s capitol in Washington, D.C. The team has also been requested by numerous international governments, including Romania, China, Canada, South Africa, the Dominican Republic, India, Australia, Peru, the Philippines, and Guatemala. Because of the outreach of the Barrier Breakers, government policies have been changed and over 100 million lives have been impacted worldwide.
