There is an interesting debate in the praise dance world about skill levels and formal ballet dance training. There are those who reject ballet training, as being too stagnant, and uptight and those who embrace it. Passion, seems to be replacing skill and training, when not so many years ago, in the professional dance world things were just the opposite. But if we love and serve God, is not every yielded gift to Him a praise? Even the terminology we use is divisive. If there is ballet training involved, then it’s called lyrical dance, and everything else is called praise dance. Skills are things we all can acquire, not a place for division. Formal ballet is definitely nothing to fear or be jealous of. We should apply ourselves to offer God our very best praise regardless of dance style. Whether we can do a perfect pirouette, or walk in a handstand, we are doing this, offering our gift, so that God’s glory can shine through us.
