Here is an example of dancing with the heart of worship!
This is Ingredients Dance Company, and they are the most godly women of God and love Him with all their heart. I attend Dance Revolution (a christian dance convention), where the company is based out of. I attend the convention every year and I will talk a little more about it on my next blog.

I am so excited about my first post; I'm hoping that God will use it all for his glory. I want to begin with how dance first originated. It started in the Bible with the Israelites dancing before their God with exceedingly great joy. One of the meanings of the word "Dance" is 'rejoice' which means 'to jump and spin about wildly' such as David & Miriam did in Biblical times. Our culture over the years has changed this innocent, pure & worshipful art to a style that is not fit for humans to see or even to do. What grieves me so much is that people rarely ever think of dance being dynamic and powerful for the kingdom of God. When someone hears the word dance, it is usually connected with sensual/sexy movement and immodest women and girls.
Each one of us is put on this earth for a purpose and that is to worship God with our soul & spirit. Everyone can dance. Many don't feel comfortable doing it, but in Gods kingdom you are going to do a lot of things that are uncomfortable to you flesh. Dance is a release between your Father, the maker of Heaven, Earth and you. Dance itself is very emotional and feeling-oriented. You might think of examples such as the first dance at a wedding, proms, nightclubs, etc. What we need to do as children of the Heavenly Father is to use this are and the emotions he has given us for Him and to glorify Him. At the beginning I said we were made to worship, which is true, but because of the fall of Satan and Adam & Eve's sin we now have to teach people how to worship our Father.
You might be wondering whether I'm talking about Worship or Dance. I am trying to explain that when a person worships, everything else will follow. Dance can be something you just do in the shower, your house, in a dance studio, or in a church. As long as it glorifies your Maker then Dance, Dance Yea!!!!!!
