Dance

as a Family

Yes, we advocate for family dance parties. Don’t worry—we will give you the reasons why. We believe movement can be a way of expressing joy, thanks, or praise to God, and can be done in God-honoring ways. May your pursuit of movement draw your family closer together in love and communicate to your kids that you serve the God of joy.

DANCING
IN THE BIBLE

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
2 Samuel 6:14, 21-22 NLT
And David danced before the LORD with all his might, wearing a priestly garment…David retorted to Michal, “I was dancing before the LORD, who chose me above your father and all his family! He appointed me as the leader of Israel, the people of the LORD, so I celebrate before the LORD. Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes!
Psalm 149:2-4 NLT
O Israel, rejoice in your Maker. O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King. Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp. For the LORD delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
Exodus 15:19-20 NLT
When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and charioteers rushed into the sea, the LORD brought the water crashing down on them. But the people of Israel had walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground! Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine and led all the women as they played their tambourines and danced.
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4 NLT
For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven…A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance.
Jeremiah 31:3-4, 9 NLT
Long ago the LORD said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. I will rebuild you, my virgin Israel. You will again be happy and dance merrily with your tambourines…Tears of joy will stream down their faces, and I will lead them home with great care. They will walk beside quiet streams and on smooth paths where they will not stumble.”
