Dance in worship has existed since the time of David;
“David danced before the LORD with all his might”, 2 Samuel 6:14. The Bible invites us to “praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp”, Psalm 149, vs. 3.
Liturgical, Praise or Worship Dance involves a personal expression of faith and interpretation of the word. Through the dancers’ movements, the congregation visually experiences an inspired interpretation of the liturgy and church music. Worship dancers are called by God to be His instruments, and they dance for an audience of One.
