The Scriptural prerogative for believers to worship God with their entire being is more than just a
duty or even a privilege. Praise and worship, and praise dance, have tremendous possibilities
that can effect the whole being, and change atmospheres and circumstances.
The dance can carry us beyond our moment’s problems and release us into a fresh, and
eternal, perspective. The physicality of wholehearted dance, together with a burning heart of
worship, breaks through barriers that nothing else can. This is why God so clearly says to praise
Him in the dance as part of our expression of worship and warfare.

2. In what ways can praise dance do this, and what areas does it affect?
1. It affects our soul – our mind, will and emotions. The world is abundantly aware that
dancing can change a mood. Just go to any local club tonight and you will see how people are
striving to elevate themselves above circumstances, and using dance as one of the means to
do this. When you engage in whole hearted and whole bodied worship it refocuses the mind,
stirs the emotion and arrests the will – our being is pointed and moved toward the focus of our
praise dance worship – God Himself. In the light of His indescribable presence our entire
perspective is changed.
2. It affects the spiritual atmosphere. The Scriptures tell us that praise and worship, and this
of course includes dance and movement, enthroned God’s presence, bringing us closer to Him
in the heavenly realm, and His manifest glory closer to us here on earth. The Psalms also
describe how dance and worship is a weapon of warfare in the heavens to rout and bind
demonic forces. When contrary spiritual influences are dealt with in this manner, atmospheres
and circumstances change as a result. Paul boldly declares in the book of Romans that the God
of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Let them be dancing feet!
As we have seen praise dance can change internal atmospheres, our inner man, and affect our
outer world – the atmospheres and spiritual forces influencing our lives and circumstances.
The impact we have is not a matter of skill and truing as much a matter of the heart. It is
essentially not about performance at all, but rather about the Presence – pulling the eternal
presence of God into our now so He can fill each moment with Himself.
This is why I dance. This is why I praise. Because He is worthy. The amazing thing with God is
that He takes this praise that His very existence demands of our heart, and amplifies it to
powerfully affect everything around us. It is ultimately for our own benefit that we praise Him,
and praise Him we will with high shouts, clashing of cymbals, resounding hallelujahs, and
energetic passion filled praise dance!
