Boy this was a tough one for me today. I had never really thought much about dancing from a Biblical standpoint until today. As I try to do each day, I attempt to see the spiritual side of the Motivational Quotes. This one was hard to research. There seems to much debate about dancing from a Godly standpoint. The bottom line for me in trying to understand dance is that God gave us the gifts we have, including dance. We can use it to Glorify God or to satisfy our worldly pleasure. I hope what I submit below will not be offensive but rather enlightening. Be blessed my RP Family.

Let's take a look at a few Bible verses about dancing and you can make a wise decision for yourself on how to use the gift of dance.

I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
Exodus 15:20-21
Chapter Parallel Compare
20 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing. 21 Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.”

And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart. 17 They brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the LORD.
Psalm 150

I hope you dance lyrics Lee Ann Womack
:) enjoy, guys and girls. Comment and thumbs up please :)
Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Your topic immediately reminded me of one of my favorite songs. I am a big believer in dancing; I've used it with clients who can't express themselves any other way. For me, life is a dance. You can either engage or sit on the sidelines. Which one do you choose to do?
