Liturgical "Praise" Dance is dance that is incorporated into
liturgies or worship services. It is an expression of worship. It can be in Christian services as well as other religions
and faith traditions. Such dances can be accompanied by many different types of music. The dancers will respond with an appropriate
dance which flows out of the music and is thought to enhance the prayer or worship experience. This dance may either be spontaneous,
or have been choreographed ahead of time. If it is choreographed it is generally fitted to the song's lyrics or to religious
concepts. Often this is performed by women, but many men also do it as well.
IMPORTANT: Praise Dance rehearsals resumed on
