But one man's balance may be another man's bondage. There remains a vast need across the body of Christ for serious study in both Ol d and New Testament worship patterns. Even more, there remains a need for 'results' by way of commitment to those principles and truths learned. The dance then is not the issue. An awakening awareness of the nearness of God is the issue .
Dance simply becomes one of numerous responses and arts that express the joy of that nearness.
Without the awareness of God's presence our understanding and pursuit of excellence is diminished. The Lord's name may be taken in vain more in church than anywhere else. Some seemingly stately public worship may mean no more to God than the clack of an Oriental prayer wheel. Numerous Biblical expressions show that dance was highly respected and was uniquely used on occasions of celebration and triumph. A definition and clarification of the dance is needed.
