What happens when you close your eyes and envision dance?
What happens when you hear your favorite song play?
Does your heart beat faster?
Do your feet start tapping?
Do you smile because you can do way cooler moves in your mind than in real life?
Me too.
Now the cool part is that it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter that my physical body is not as capable as my spirit. However, I have been given a gift. God has equipped me with a desire and ability to take what’s in my mind, the movements, the rhythm, the pulse, and make it a physical reality. He has used the 5 years of modern dance in my past to bridge a gap between dance as performance and dance as worship to reveal performing dance as a means of bringing others to worship. WHAT?! That’s absolutely insane and incredibly exciting.Improvisation is an integral part of modern dance, but consider with me for a moment the spiritual implications of letting the Holy Spirit guide a dancer. We talk of a Spirit led lifestyle. We’ve heard Spirit led sermons and songs. Have you seen a Spirit led dance? For those of us that are visual people, this could be an incredible tool to usher us into deeper worship. How about those who are experiential. Have you ever considered letting the Holy Spirit lead your BODY in worship?
MOVEMENT.
DEPTH.
FREEDOM.
INTIMACY.
