Worship through dance has existed for most of the time people have been moving around. Christian praise dance has its roots in Judaism, and it was a common practice in the early days of the Church. Dance is a great form of self expression, especially when words aren’t enough. While any type of group dance fosters a sense of community, praise dance takes it to another level. Here’s how. Moving Together Praise dance allows worshippers to move as a coordinated group. This helps each dancer bond with others in a deeper way than they would from exchanging words between services. While every participant learns their routines, they can watch one another for reference, eventually beginning to move as one. Building Fellowship Group dance has many physical and mental benefits, but praise dance has the added bonus of improving spiritual health. Moving with the music and portraying spiritual messages through dance allows each individual to strengthen their relationship with their faith. Dancing as a collective, each dancer can feel the other dancers’ energy as they express themselves. Improved Mental Health Better mental health makes for easier community building. Dancing can benefit each individual’s mental health in many ways, from boosting confidence and improving cognitive ability to reducing depression and social anxiety. The better each dancer feels, and the more empowered they feel to express themselves, the more the community can benefit. Praise dance allows people to move together while building fellowship and focusing on self improvement. At Star Line Baton, we offer a variety of praise dance and worship products.
