Getting into praise dance can look intimidating from afar. However, if you are called to move with the music in praise, you shouldn’t let nerves get in the way. This is your chance to take your spiritual life to another level. Luckily, you can get started with a few standard items. What you wear will vary by what group you join, but generally, the attire is long, flowing and modest. Props and accessories tend to be more universal. Here’s what you need to get started: Flags When buying flags for dance routines, consider all the parts. Flag shafts, silk flags and flag shift tips are all sold individually. Each one comes in a couple standard sizes, and the flags come in an array of colors. Accidents happen during dance practice, but when they do, you may not need to replace the entire flag. You can buy swivel tubes if all the damage to the flag shaft is exterior. And if it’s just the flag itself, you can just replace the fabric. Flags help showcase the flow of your movements, and they’re the most popular tools of praise dance. Tambourines The tambourine is mentioned in the Bible several times, frequently popping up in the Old Testament. If you’re making a praise dance starter pack, a tambourine or two is essential. These fun, easy-to-play instruments come in a couple different varieties. You can buy single jingle and double jingle versions that are 8 inches and 10 inches wide. Gloves Praise dance involves a lot of practice with different kinds of props, and gloves make it easier to use the props without wearing out your hands. Depending on what type of show you’re putting on, you can buy long gloves or short gloves. There’s also a Sure Grip variety that makes it easier to maneuver flags, tambourines and other props, especially when you’re just starting out. Other Accessories Action rods with ribbons function as miniature flags, but they play just as big of a role in putting on a praise dance routine. The rods come with swivel hooks to give you control as you move ribbons through the air. Along with action rods, dance hoops often come with ribbons attached to give another dimension of flow to a routine. These accessories can bring your praise dance to another level. Star Line Baton sells a range of quality praise dance products, from flags, tambourines, gloves and action rods to heavy-duty carrying cases and shoes.
