Do you still Dance, as a Christian?

[OopsMartin]

Dancing is fine as long as it isn't the suggestive kind. After all it is one of God's special gifts to us as humans, like singing and playing an instrument.

I think this was the argument that won the day in "Footloose" (aka that fantabulous movie that convinced me of the heroic power of jazz-dancing Kevin Bacon).

Shalom,

Love to dance. Every year at our cancer patient retreat, we have a dance with a band and all. Even on chemo, I could dance with the best of them. I especially love 50's and 60's rock and roll and I love the dances of that time as well. Especially the twist.

And, I dance around the house to music all the time. The kids and I dance as well.

I'm with you, Vicki. I LOVE to dance!!!

I dance around my house all the time. I don't usually dance in public, just because I really like to "get down."

Plus, whenever I dance, I always like to incorporate ballet moves (took ballet for a while when I was a kid), and I find that it's hard to do a decent flutter kick to "Baby Got Back"

LOLOLOL...Oh, man, I'm sorry, but "Footloose" has to be one of the cheesiest movies of all time.

I think it ranks in somewhere between "Krush Groove" and "The Thing With 2 Heads"

i use to be a very good dancer to anything berfore breakdancing but now all i can do is the wheeel chair strut...... ,,,oak

Cajunboy:::::I'd like to see you kick up a good "Robot!" move Oak! lol Thats step's always intrigued me??

I never could dance too well. In our early years, my wife tried to teach me to 3-step (as opposed to the Texas Two Step). I'm 6-2 and she's 5-1. I struggled to keep the steps in the right order and would often step on her feet. Man! We haven't danced in probably 20 years.

On the other hand, my eight year old son shows an uncanny ability to dance. Must've got those genes from my wife.

There was actually a town in Missouri, in Berry County, (Purdy) that did not allow dancing... so the kids would all go to the prom of a diff highschool.... in the mid 80's ( after Foot Loose came out) they lifted the ban.... i do not know if it went back into effect, or if it is still ok to dance again.....

Underwear of David's day, I'd imagine

Kind David was dancing in his skivvies.....before God?? I've never heard this before. I wonder if the Lord was amused?

yeah, if you read the account, his wife, the daughter of King Saul, rebuked him for dancing before the Lord, told him to be MORE DIGNIFIED and guess what David said???? He said....

LET ME BE MORE UNDIGNIFIED BEFORE MY LORD

David knew how to praise and worship the Lord, He did not hide the Lord away, He brought the Lord with him every where .... he set up dancers and praisers and music players and such to go 24/7....

what a thought, praising and worshipping and honoring God 24/7

sounds like Prayer Mountain in Korea..... no wonder that is where one of the largest ( if not the largest ) Christian Fellowship is..... no wonder they are the ones that have been taken hostage in Afgahn....

let us do the same....

Just wondering how you feel about dancing now that or since you've become a Christian? Either with your spouse or another partner! I can honestly tell you that down here in Cajunland, it would be something very hard to discontinue. I personally, don't see anything wrong with my wife and I going out or while at a wedding and "shaking" a let or two! But then again, we can really entertain the crowd....lol....Guess it runs in the genes! lol....What can I say?

And honestly folks, there were years when I was studying and learning about God and HIS word that I didn't even care if I or we didn't dance.....I never really thought about it for years.....but now! Look out Fred A.

Your thoughts?

Cajunboy:::::I'm guessing tht the person who was addressing the Movie "Footloose" had some knowledge of people's talents in dancing. Although it had a wiry plot, and was loosly put together, if you remember the general theme of the movie was about a supposedly religous community dealing with the decision of allowing "such lucid dancing" in for their high school prom. Turned out the pastor gave in and submitted to what he thought originally was vulgar turned into being just fun and talent. The rest of the plot, I agree was peculiar! But the theme was important!
