Liturgical Dance

This loosely formed group of several women periodically enhances congregational worship with the addition of sacred dance—sometimes offered at the beginning of the service, or at other times, during the Offering.  Our hope is that our movement enhances the congregation’s worship experience and brings glory to Him.

Ideas for potential dances—solo or group—are generated most frequently by the Music Director, or sometimes the Dance Director, who usually choreographs the pieces.

The dancers do not meet on a regular basis, but only when preparing for an upcoming dance.  Our dance style is comprised mostly of a combination of ballet, modern and jazz moves that interpret the words and/or spirit of the worship song.  The dancers’ current costuming consists of a white collared leotard and flowing white ankle-length skirt, along with sashes and/or accessories (sometimes), flesh-colored tights and pink ballet shoes.

Our dances have ranged from slow and prayerful to exuberant and joyful.  Some past pieces presented at our services include:

          The Youth of a Thousand Summers

         O Healing River All Shall Be Well

         O Sing to the Lord Veni Sancti Spiritus

        Every Nation on Earth Only You Jesus

Let All Things Now Living City Called Heaven

Be Thou My Vision Patience, People

       Who Has Known? Lord of Glory
