Worship or praise dance helps artists express their love for God, and inspiration can be found in many places. The world can be a difficult place to find motivation for praise dancing. One of the best places to look is the Bible. Here are a few Bible verses that can inspire you to get up and dance. “Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;” Psalm 30:11 When you’re feeling down, you may be tempted to dwell on that feeling. However, sometimes it’s best to turn to God. Reflect on how you feel, and you may find the answer in self expression through dance. Art has healing powers, and dance has the power to mentally and physically heal. “O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: dance before him, all the earth.” Psalm 96:9 If you’re looking for motivation, look no further than the beauty of everything the Lord has made. The world is a beautiful place, and it would be even more beautiful if everyone could express themselves through dance. Use your talents to give praise for the life you’ve been given. “Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.” Psalm 149:3 While most churches may not use timbrels (an early version of the tambourine) anymore, the tradition of praising the Lord through music and dance carries on. Remember what you’re dancing for every time you get ready to perform a worship dance. “(There is) A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;” Ecclesiastes 3 Life is all about balance. King Solomon observed that God’s plan involved different cycles of life. You may not feel like dancing every day, and that’s fine. There’s a time and a place for every emotion, and those feelings can be worked into your art. Inspiration will strike again, and you’ll be right back to honing your dancing craft. When reading daily headlines or getting caught up in the world around you, it can be difficult to find the spark that led you to praise dance. When you find it again, you can use praise dance to express yourself and inspire others. At Star Line Baton, we offer a variety of high quality worship dance products.
