Introduction:
What is Praise Dance?
Praise dance is a form of dance in which the focus is on WORSHIP. Praise dancers use their bodies to help express the word and the spirit of God.
Why do we Praise Dance?
We praise dance to bring
Glory to God.
Who Praise Dance?
Children, men and women are welcome to praise the Lord and glorify his name in dance.
What is their Attire?
Praise dancers are to wear clothing that draws attention
away from their bodies, keeping the attention on the message they are conveying through their worship. For example, Praise dancer would wear a leotard underneath a loose top or cape along with a long, flowing skirt or loose pants.
Bible Scriptures:
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Psalm 149:3
3 Let them praise His name with dancing;
Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.
Psalm 96:9
9 Worship the Lord in holy attire;
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
