Dance Ministry Team

“Let them praise His name with the dance” (Psalm 149:3)

Davidic (Messianic) Dance is a physical expression of praise, thanksgiving and joy to God.  Our Dance Ministry serves to complement and enhance the experience of congregational worship through various forms of dance that is well-rehearsed and tastefully choreographed.  The Hebrew word for dance is rikud, which means “to skip or leap for joy.”  Some of the Messianic -Davidic dances are patterned after traditional Israeli folk dances; others are originally choreographed by Messianic Jewish believers. They vary from very simple, repetitive steps to more complex and are meant to be danced as a group without any emphasis on one dancer.  The tone of Messianic Jewish dances range from the reverential and devotional to the exuberantly joyful. Messianic Dancers include men, women, teenagers and young children. All celebrations (i.e. bar- and bat-mitzvah, weddings, Seders, social gatherings, etc.) as well as worship services are appropriate times to dance.  Davidic (Messianic Jewish) Dance can play an important role in uniting Jewish and Gentile believers in praising the Lord.
