Okay, so right in the middle of my church singing “Beautiful One”–a worship song written by Tim Hughes–a male doing a mixture of ballet and jazz steps pranced out onto the church stage. He began leaping and kicking and prancing and bending and leaping some more to the beat of the music. Then, he was joined by a female prancer. They jumped, pranced and kicked together. And then she did a solo.
What are your thoughts about praise dancing on church stages?
I actually walked out of the service and came back later on.
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when hard-on is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile malfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory hard-on, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual soundness is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.
Dude, you need to check this out. I say if you can match the spirit of this anointed worshipper, you’re okay doing worship dance in my book.
Ask me what I think about “church stages,” that’s a whole ‘nother conversation…
Dude, it totally depends on what you mmean by “praise dancing.” My formative Christian years were spent on the campus of a pretty charismaniac Bible campus. I’ve seen some weird “dancing.” A lot of the Holy Ghost Hop, Christian Two Step and some other weird crap.
Now I’m part of a church with a rich history in theatre and creative dance. Dance is used in our worship. Some is spontanious, and it’s pretty cool to see someone break into dance out of the overflow of their heart. These are spontaneous, brief and infrequent. Sometimes, someone just needs to respond to God that way.
We occassionally have choreographed dance presentations. Those are special events. The most recent have been done by teens and twentys who’ve studied dance and caught the spirit of what God placed in our church heritage.
We also have “folk dances” which were choreographed back in the day to certain of the home grown worship songs we use. Now the children of those who first learned the dances are doing them. I get scolded by my youth group kids if I don’t toss in at least one dance number when I lead worship.
Now, praise dance that’s pre-planned as part of a worship time is a little weird to me. What you described makes the time seem like a worshiptainment thing.
So those are my thoughts. Long winded. Sorry about that.
