Liturgical Dance
Liturgical dance is a type of dance movement sometimes incorporated into worship services as
an expression of worship: the dancers will respond with an appropriate dance which flows out of
the music and is thought to enhance the prayer or worship experience.
When doing liturgical dancing, one ought to remember that God is the one who is getting the
praise. Were also trying to bring unsaved people to Christ. Remember when dancing, youre not
doing it as a show or to make people believe that you can dance. Youre doing it to glorify God
because He is the one who deserves the praise.
Scriptures: John 4:24 says God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in
spirit and in truth.
Colossians 3:23 says Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord,
not for human masters. This scripture goes to show that as a result of us doing the work for
Christ, we should push and do our best since He is the one getting the praise.
