Admin	"Dancing Queen, feel the beat, from the tambourine..." Posted : 5 May, 2010 02:19 AM As the title would suggest, this topic is about dancing. Some Christians see nothing wrong with dancing; others are quite adamantly opposed to it. What is your opinion (and why)? Post Reply

Posted : 5 May, 2010 04:56 AM I don't think there is anything wrong with dancing, as long as it is not provocative and doesn't cause someone else to stumble. When David was bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem he was dancing and praising God! Post Reply

I wish I could actually dance...I've tried a little, but I have two left feet. "Praise dance" is something that is pretty controversial. Personally, I don't feel that it enables me to worship more, and I know several men (of a variety of ages) who find it to be a stumbling block when the dancer is a shapely young woman. They might not oppose dancing normally, but they say that it REALLY hinders their ability to worship when the dancing is done in that setting. So I guess it's really just whatever you are comfortable with, and what you feel is honoring to God. I don't remember reading anywhere in the Bible "Thou shalt not dance"! But there is warning against lusting, so if the dancing causes a man or woman to lust after anyone other than his/her spouse, don't do it. Post Reply

But, it's definitely not artful when I do it... LOL I'm a BEGINNER and don't seem to be progressing beyond that point! Post Reply
