I see by your post, daego, that God has used you in your church in a way that is accepted there...through the music ministry and choir.



This may be an avenue the Lord has given you to bring some "dance" into the service in a non-threatening way. By this, I mean that the choir could be taught to do some movements as they sing. It doesn't have to be on every song, or anything complicated: it could be swaying, clapping while turning side to side, or lifting their hands in a choreographed way.



You say you have left that church, but if you find yourself working with a choir that way again, perhaps your pastor would be open to that kind of physical expression from the choir members? If introduced gradually, it would not be quite so shocking to the congregation as bringing in a dance troupe.



Just a thought to consider. Smile

What Helena shared is so true! And you might even consider doing those movements to some special piece of music that your congregation does not know, maybe in conjunction with a missionary or evangelism theme. So many cultures are so very expressive in their movements that their songs are almost a translation of the movement language that is the real message! Or if the theme of the day was something to do with the Hebrews or Jews. Again, that culture is full of movement. Miriam celebrated the crossing of the Red Sea by organizing a dance! :twirl:



As Helena said, just a thought. Training is not the all important issue. It's more about how God can use you, either through training, in spite of training, or in an area where there is no training.

Blessings!
